- Learn how to take the golf club away in the backswing. The first move in the backswing we call the golf swing takeaway. For many golfers learning to get a great backswing takeaway feeling can transform the overall look and simplicity of your golf swing.
The downswing in golf takes just half a second to complete leaving you very little time for your body to adjust to mistakes you may have made in your golf backswing. If you can learn to perfect the golf swing takeaway and then know to how the body and the wrists work complete your golf swing the golf downswing becomes almost automatic.
In this weeks golf lesson you will learn how to develop the feel necessary to do it every time with your driver swing and your iron swing.

ABOUT DANNY
-----------------------
Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!
I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.
On CZcams and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.
Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumbleI’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK! - Sport
Hi Danny,I've played this crazy game for 35 years.i've read many books and had lessons and they have all helped.Since I have been following your videos for the last year and I can honestly say I've learnt more in this period than the previous 35 years.Your not trying to sell me no magic miracle moves just honest and sound advice .keep doing what your doing it WORKS.
Danny your advice had brought me into the game correctly after two seasons of scrambling around like a chicken without a head. Now I’ve got a very good grasp of the game and it’s enjoyable to play. Thank you
Can you play good after lessons. Was thinking of getting some
Danny's videos are the ONLY golf videos that actually get results for me. He doesn't bog us down with technical swing thoughts. Just building blocks of different feels, with drills to go along. What an absolute beauty. THANK YOU!
Thanks Joseph happy to help 😁
I agree 100% I wish I found them earlier.
@@spatulaz great to have you here 😁🙏
@@DanielMaude Thank God! I agree
Totally agree
At 75 I finally found a coach that makes sense and not to complicated , the old books and Video are gathering dust on the shelf .I thrown every thing in with Danny teaching methods well done Danny , I live in Vancouver but spend 3 month in U.K.(Cheshire ) every years, I will be there in October to February , so I will try and find you ... Alan
I'm a high handicap elderly golfer and been subscribed for about a year now and I find your videos first class - brilliant.
Thanks Alan! Appreciate the support 😁
This is it, the best single video that has helped my game. I have watched hundreds of golf videos..this is IT, THE VERY BEST. I watch it often because it reminds me of the feel and motion....
Amazing, well done Dermot
Best teacher in explaining the mechanics of the swing in simple terms!
Thanks for the support and feedback Sabino
@@DanielMaude may even dig out my clubs just to try your tips. Well expressed.
Very excellent and fundamental lesson
I've watched more takeaway videos that I care to admit and this has to be the most detailed one I've encountered to date. Thanks for sharing.
Hope it helps 👍
I've said previously that you are the best teacher on youtube but now I think you're the best full stop. I really appreciate your content is free.
That’s so kind of you, I believe their are some wonderful coaches out there
Your knowledge of us armatures Danny must be helping so many of us golfers out here viewing your video's! You sure have helped me!
I really hope so Alan
I went for years with a wide backswing. Your catapult concept changed that for me. This vid reinforces that idea. With my wide backswing I could never clear my hips either. That caused a lot of pain getting through. Extension and flexion concept is hard to visualize but really allows freedom through the ball impact area. Thanks again, Danny.
Danny, Love your backswing take away tip. It has helped be to take the club straight back with a coordinated arm/body move and turn my front shoulder down during the backswing rather than around, and especially put pressure on my right heel and front toe prior to swinging forward. This has helped me from moving my front foot which resulted in inconsistent shots. You are my number one golf instructor. Stay safe and healthy.
best instructor ive ever came across. I cant wait to try this on the course, because my take away was always moving sideways, never lifting my right side on take away. ( im right- handed) this feels amazing
Thank you 😁
This guy is the real mvp of CZcams, Thanks Danny!
Pleasure, really happy to help
Danny, thanks for this! I’ve been struggling to get proper form swinging for a while. It just felt so unnatural. After doing this, it just clicked and my swing is now timed so much better.
That’s brilliant William well done
Just left the range. Your rocking drill in one session changed my driver and iron shots beyond belief.
Not to mention light grip Killing it. Thank you. Thank you.
So simple. And so remarkably effective
That’s awesome, well done
39. Trying golf out and your videos are the only ones that resonate with me. Simple. Foundational. Building blocks. Thank you!
Hey Danny! I golfed some when I was younger, but never really learned what to do. I am now retired and have some time, so I decided to give golf a second go. I picked up some clubs and started in earnest to get better about 3 weeks ago.
While I am 60, I am still in very good shape. CZcams has been a mixed bag of advice for me as there are so many different videos on "tricks to hit it flush".. So many people offering different advice on how to hit the ball well..
Lucky for me, I found your videos and find them to be top notch. I only watch yours now - I love how you focus on the fundamentals and express yourself so clearly.
You're a great teacher, and While I am still duffing my way, I am hitting 260+ yard drives right down the middle and am getting better with my irons..
Then I'll focus on the short game and putting..
Your videos have truly been a great help to me and I very much look forward to seeing all of them - in due time.
I honestly think this is your best lesson to date. 👍
Thank you Phil, hope it helps
I've gained more improvement in my swing as a result of Danny's lessons that the sum total of all other videos and lessons. He's very clear, very helpful in showing not just telling and very likable.
Thanks so much for taking the time to feedback James
As a life long golf instruction addict I have rarely seen a better description of how the golf swing really works. Thankyou.
Thanks for taking the time to feedback, all the best Danny
Danny i cant believe its taken me 1 year to find this video. What amazes me im a avid youtube golf junkie always looking for something. That something was today. i wish i could have the year back to arrive at this. Thank you so much!
Amazing to hear Mike
Hi Danny, this is a great lesson that builds on what you’ve taught recently. My game has really come on in the last few weeks following your tips. Thanks again.
Pleasure Alan, all the best
Thank you so much Danny. For 30 + years i have been coming over the top on my downswing mainly due to my bringing the club-head inside too soon during my backswing. Flexing the left side whilst extending my right ( trail) side during my backswing (takeaway) has magically resulted in a better release , follow through and much straighter shots. You are the best! Simple , easy to understand yet super effective!
That’s wonderful to hear Jiminy
Possibly the best golf tutor on CZcams!
Really kind Wayne, I know there are some great coaches here online
This is exactly what I needed!! Feel like I constantly don’t know what to do with my feet and why I keep turning around my body… this is awesome
Danny, the instruction and information you give on your channel has transformed my golf swing and has made golf so much more fun for me. The way you teach the swing is easy to follow and I can always refer back to my favorite videos if I feel like my swing is ever getting out of sorts.
That’s brilliant, Richard really happy to help
Until you watch Danny you never realize how simple he makes golf seem ! The Best wish I could take a few lessons from him 😎⛳️🏌️
BY FAR the best coach out there. This is perfect and clear. I'm in my lounge room trying that upward spiral. Thanks Danny
Thanks for the support 🤜🏻🤛🏼
Extension and Flexion. Mind blown. Thank you Danny. You are heaven sent.
All the best Michael
I love your flexion and extension. I have seen other videos using lawnmower pull or loading a bow and arrow. Your description of this finally made sense of this for me. Thank you. This might help me get to low 80s or 70s.
Danny Maude, you are simply brilliant. Your instruction is so good, so clear and easy to understand, so caring, so en pointe. You even anticipate the pitfalls or road blocks some will discover and have suggestions for that. Lots of good channels out there but yours is world class I think. You appear to be the best combination of understanding the golf swing AND being able to communicate it because you are a real teacher and a caring human being. All this and I still feel like my words are not enough … just thank you for this channel. 👍🏼
Thanks so much for taking the time to feedback Craig, really appreciate it
Danny you are an incredible teacher…
I have followed many instructors but I have never experienced a more simple and explanatory drill to help me feel the muscles that I have never felt before in my back swing.
I am going to the range with a more concentrated and focused purpose in my efforts to improve👍😃
Thank you for showing me the HOW TO practice🙏
It’s my pleasure Ron, really hope the drills help
Thanks Danny for explaining the ideal weight distribution of your feet during the swing. That has always been something I haven't been able to figure out. Your drills are very useful to help achieve that goal.
Thank you very much for this video. I have been playing my best golf ever at age 70 because of your videos. This flexion-extension concept seems like a very important one that I will try to incorporate into my swing. I have never had a lesson so even the concept of a free flowing downswing is sort of like news to me.
The more I play golf the more I am coming to the conclusion that “feel” is everything. When I play my best golf I’m not thinking at all, I’m just feeling the shot. This video reaffirms my thoughts. Thanks Danny. Very helpful. 🏌️♂️👏🏻
Pleasure Tom, less is always more
Disagree. A huge part of golf is analyzing and adjusting your swing and course management when things are off. But that's a pretty advanced skill.
Specificatoin of a good golfer.
Emty head and soft body.
Such a great instructor!!
Appreciate the support Jay
Thanks Danny. Another great lesson!
The flexion/extension drill feels like an excellent warm up before teeing off. And to help to keep on the right lines before crucial shots.
Really hope it helps Rob
Danny Maude, thank you! I’ve been struggling with my take away for a long time and this video helped me understand where I needed to be at the top of my swing. I tried to implement your thoughts and drills, and had a very rewarding session on the range this morning. Again, thank you.
Danny, this is the best video I've seen explaining the backswing. I ran out to the range right after I watched today and started hitting the ball amazingly. I've always brought the club way inside but struggled how to fix it, even after taking lessons. This video has made it all so clear.
Thank you Danny for helping me recognize how keeping my feet flat is hurting my swing mechanics. An awesome display of how to synchronize your body throughout the entire swing process.
Really happy to help Eduardo
Danny this was so eye opening for me! I was practising this while watching the video and I have never been a better backswing position! I love your videos and they have helped me understand that the swing is dynamic and not rigid and positional. Love it and keep up the great content!
You are very welcome Josh, all the best
Mr. Maude,
This is an important and extremely helpful golf lesson. It really helped me to shoot a great round of golf yesterday. Thank you.
Thank you JC 😁
Probably the best video Uber ever seen on CZcams! Really making a difference in my ball striking thanks Danny!!
Thats great James, all the best
Danny, really good and informative! What I find is I am standing up at top of the backswing when trying to extend. I then don’t get back down so end up flipping or early extending my right arm to reach the ball. Thoughts on how to address this? Thanks for wonderful weekly content!
Out on the course in 2 hours and I am binging as much as I can to try and break 90 for the first time!! Great videos
Have fun
Good luck... u can break 90 today!!
Update please.
How’d it go??
You can do it did it myself the other day shot 86 was a great day normally shot low 90s
Great advice, I have been working on the takeaway and is really improving my gain. Working on what you have been showing is really improving my game. Thanks for the great advice. Your advice is my go to training when I am having problems.
Thank you Danny!!! I am retired and play 3 times a week after not playing for years....in the old days i was a 3 handicapper..but since retirement ive been struggling with blocking out my front side, causing exactly the wrist rolling, and flat swing. , even took lessons from 3 different pro's with no great results...now inflexion, extension is the last words i think before takeaway...striking the ball consistently now!
Thanks Danny, as I’m getting older my flexibility has reduced and I seem to have tried to compensate with the around move on the back swing. Your video has given me simple drills to help me return to being more vertical and hopefully in better position at the top.
Love to hear how you get on David
Thanks Mr.Maude
I was ready to quit golf 21/2 months ago, because I couldn’t have a round of golf, hitting the ball everywhere, hit the ground etc. I’ve been watching your training, I gained a lots more accuracy by learning the right technique and understand why you hit the ball wrong. Your explanations are so great easy and fun to learn. I went from 116 to 101 way more accurate just have to work on my putting. Thanks a million your the best.
That’s wonderful, well done!
Danny your videos have brought me to tears how remarkable you are my lord
Just really happy to help
This might be the best golf video I’ve seen. In being obsessed with getting more hip rotation I’ve been rotating too much with my irons and they’ve fell to peices. I used to feel so much more natural with my irons in my swing and didn’t know why I felt robotic now but this explains it. More up, less round. Thanks Danny!
Absolutely - up not around 😁
@@DanielMaude honestly pal I’ve come back this tonight after a weekend off and it’s such a great drill and feeling to get my brain back familiar with. Thanks a lot bud
I before e except after c 🙄🙄
This is probably my biggest issue with my swing. I don't have near the flexibility that I had when I was younger. Now at 62 my swing and my game are gradually getting better...and that is all thanks to you and your excellent videos. You can bet I'll be practicing these moves on a regular basis! Thank you, Danny!
That’s amazing well done
Thank you Danny for your explanations and the way you demonstrate them. I think you are for me the best instructor, simple, perfect and uncomplicated. I have changed a few things in my golf course and they have turned out 5 stars. Thank you very much and continuation of your wonderful work. A big hug👍👏👏👏
Thank you so much for this video. I've been working the last 4 years on swallowing my plane and attacking from the inside. I go through bouts of feeling like I HAVE to come over the top. I realized I wasn't getting enough body rotation on my backswing to create the space needed to really lower my hands and come at the ball from the inside. This is THE best explanation on CZcams. You may want to add "creating space in the golf swing" to the description so people dealing with being blocked out can find it. Thank you!
Thanks Danny! The last couple months I’ve been struggling with drawing my approach shots too much- about 10 yards. That’s a tough angle to come in from so I’ve been trying to straighten it out a bit. I’ve watched a lot of videos and tried several things (more open stance, more out to in swing, faster hips), but still struggled. Yesterday it dawned on me to re-watch your videos on takeaway. This immediately fixed my problem as I realized I was taking my backswing a little behind me and rotating a bit more than pivoting. I was able to straighten it right out as well as practice a small fade or still hit a strong draw when I may want to.
Your instructional videos are excellent and I really appreciate you!
That’s wonderful David, thanks for taking the time to feedback
Thanks
Exactly what just happened with me! I've been going long and left on most iron shots. Watched this video and now have a lovely fade. I'd been down many CZcams rabbit holes trying to fix it, fingers crossed this is the key for me.
Hi Danny, just got back into golf a couple of months ago, and your videos/drills are really helping me, I can see the improvement each week, I've even signed up to England golfs igolf to see what kind of handicap I can achieve, many thanks Shane 👍
Hope you are still playing some good golf Shane
Best description ever. Watch without sound and you still know what he is doing.
Thank you
Thanks Danny, consistently the best instructional golf videos on CZcams. You have helped my game immensely.
Thanks so much for the support Jon
Thanks Danny, makes perfect sense. Really good check points for my pre shot routine. Enjoy your weekend ⛳️👍
And you Colin, all the best
Hi,Danny,
Really great video and explains the backswing beautifully.
I had a dose of the shanks recently and went to see my local pro. He has sorted me out,thankfully, but when I had a few lessons a few years ago, I was told, at parallel to my feet line, to have the toe of the club pointing to the sky. This is where you have yours in this video. However, the local pro insists that I have to get the club face ‘looking at the ball’ longer and, at parallel to the ground, actually closed and still looking at the ball. A little confused now.
It’s ok either way just depends on your shot tendencies
Really enjoyed that. Easy to follow and understand. It relates to your video in which you went through the clubs from the driver to the putter.
I have watched this video several times now. It is absolutely brilliant and if you practice these drills you will see the results. Thx again!
So great to hear Estaban
Danny Rules 🤙🏼
One of your best videos yet, Danny. I've never seen the "H Drill" before (and I watch a LOT of golf training videos). This is core training and I will save and review this video from time to time. Now I'm headed to the range to try it all out. Thanks!
Have fun Mike
Not only best teaching, but the video is so pretty. Like the background a lot make the whole frame super 👍.
That’s great, glad you enjoyed it
This golf drill changed my game from night to day. I never understood how to work the club UP. I didn't even really get the concept of it working UP. I've always thought AROUND with the body, but never also UP. This split hand drill should be taught to every beginner golfer. I want to say THANK YOU for teaching this to me and THANK YOU for posting all your videos. I will be checking out your website for sure.
Thanks Kurt 😁
"let's summerize"
- always comes down to my interpretation of I am okay just shooting 105 to 110, drinking and driving a golf cart and meeting random strangers while golfing at a new course.
Thanks Danny for your fun tips!
😁
Thank you Danny I’m struggling with my iron striking and these tips explain what I’m doing wrong 😑 just need to get that feeling! So I’ve got a lot of practicing to do 😕 👍 great video as always.
Have fun with it David, all the best
You make it easier to visualize and feel what you need to achieve on your backswing.
Thanks Danny!
Really hope it helps Mark
Thanks for the great video and lesson, it seems this is the hardest part for me, but your lesson and easy approach make it very understandable and useful. I appreciate it!! Thank
you.
Massive 'ah-ha!' moment from this video. Had a great lesson this week from a chap I think you know, Milo King, who identified a slight tendancy to get 'inside' which was making the swing shallow and contributing to a fat shot. Getting the club back less inside was causing me to feel like I was sliding right, but focusing on that extension of the right side made me realise I wasn't, I was just getting out of my own way and preventing that flatter inside move. Drilling this all weekend!
Great Guy Milo, hope this compliments what you are working on
This is great information for an able-body golfer but I, as a disabled golfer playing from strapped in position on a SoloRider golf cart, have less flexibility and very little lower body strength. Do you have any thoughts for a player that hits from a semi-seated position? thanks
Just think that everything starts from the ground up, if this for you means it starts with the hips then start there not the shoulders
Cracking tip for those of us of increasing years and stiffness. Simple and effective. Thank you for your help.
You are very welcome Francis
Thus video changed my golf forever. Thank you !! God Bless You guys !!!
Thanks Mag appreciate the support 👍
Remember Sports Fans, tension is the killer. Especially with this move. Start off relax and become more relaxed in the turn.
👌
Great video!!! I have a tendency of over turning and causing the club to lose its plane. I think this lesson will help me keep everything coordinated and concise.
Danny, the way you breakdown an explain each practice session is priceless. I'm able to wrap my head around it, then work on recreating the drill. Can't say enough, thank You!
That’s great Kevin, all the very best
Very good demonstration and explanation. Thank you for your generous help with the game of golf! TKM
Great video, Danny. The extension and flexion is so important and so easy to overlook. Thanks.
Simple to do and happens naturally once you learn the feel
Excellent Video!.. Your video reassured the backswing method I watched in other youtube video. Yours is way easy to understand why this mechanism works. Thanks
Excellent video!Thank you very much for this example of a turn in the backswing!
I had the worst problem with bringing the club too far inside for a long time. I finally fixed it by trying to swing a shovel without hitting the ground... if you have any tendancy to cheat the backwing by using your hands and arms and leave the shovel too low as you turn, you will hit the ground. Everytime! I learned a lot from this video!
Simple, easy to follow and to the point. Excellent and student friendly by all means. Thank you so much!
Pleasure Anthony, all the best
Brilliant. Lucid. You communicate the movements, the feeling, the checkpoints, with just the right amount of detail in comprehensible manner. It makes ergonomic sense. You have a gift for teaching, Danny Maude.
Thanks so much for taking the time to feedback Paul
Just started golfing and your videos are GOLD. My friends can’t believe my progress. Thank you for your downloadable practice guides too! Just subscribed!
Hi Danny, another great golf lesson. Looking forward to putting the drill to practice. Stay well
Wow- easily the best explanation of the role of extension in the swing, and how to achieve it, I've ever seen! Thanks as always, Danny.
Really happy to help
Brilliant, Danny. The alignment sticks drill is Definitely something I'm going to try. I feel like that may be my issue for consistency with my lower body being locked. Can't wait to try this out and get that feedback. Thanks!
Thanks Danny, used your tips to work on the takeaway and received instant positive results!
One of your lessons I always return to when I feel my backswing is getting too flat or disconnected. Thank you.
One of my favourites David
Thank you Danny.Simple instruction as ever.
This single video changed my swing for the better. Wayyyy better! Completely understand now how the proper takeaway sets you up for crashing through that ball.
Can’t thank you enough my man. Great job explaining what needs to happen to have a proper go at it!
That’s awesome to hear Vince well done
As usual..a very simple explanation of the golf swing..love the videos..
You are great. Fantastic lesson which I will always treasure.
Thank you.
I'm a subscriber and I really didn't think too much off this split your hands/then right hand drill...until I decided to try it, it's fantastic! I do suffer from quite a "layed off" club at the top of my swing and instantly this felt so different but also so right, even comfortable! I know from experience it'll take quite a while to ingrain the movement but I will work hard to do so.
Thanks again for all your dedication to the channel; you're definitely the most agreeable, pleasant and likeable golf instructor on CZcams !
These basic, building block movements are so key. Excellent instruction.
Great segment!!! This truly shows my faults on my take away and now my ball striking has improved. Thank you!! 🙌🏼⛳️⛳️
Excellent golf teaching ! Thank you very much ! This is a comprehensive and practical tape ! I like it !
Happy to help
Thank-you, thank-you, thankyou. Until I found this video, I sprayed balls worse than a skunk. I fit all categories, hooker, slicer, fat shooter, thin chopper, hacker. But this has given me a game I can enjoy. What a difference these drills have made. I am now flirting with breaking into the 80's. I am going to devour more of your videos.
This is one of the easiest but detailed backswing videos I have ever seen. Will definitely add it to my daily routine to clean up some issues I found the first time I followed the instructions!
Thanks Danny
That’s awesome to hear Mark, have fun practicing
Gets better every week easy to follow. Great video
Thank you for the feedback Terry 🙏
