Struggle with inconsistent ball striking even though you feel like you’re trying really hard to make a good golf swing?
In this Danny Maude golf lesson, you’ll watch a real lesson with Leo, a beginner golfer who only plays around once a month. Leo was struggling to strike his irons consistently and couldn’t generate much extra distance no matter how much effort he put into his golf swing.
The breakthrough came when he stopped trying to control the golf club and started doing something much simpler: **feeling the weight of the clubhead and allowing it to swing.**
Almost immediately, his golf swing became smoother, his strike improved and the club started trailing naturally in the downswing without him consciously trying to create lag.
In this golf lesson you’ll learn:
• How to improve your iron ball striking without trying harder
• Why consciously trying to hold lag can ruin your golf swing
• How to feel the weight of the golf club during the swing
• Why letting the clubhead fall can improve your downswing
• How to stop releasing the golf club too early
• Why your body can organise itself around the swinging clubhead
• How one-handed golf swings can improve your feel
• Why giving up control can actually give you more control
• How to create better rhythm and tempo naturally
• How to stay present instead of thinking about swing positions
• How to add clubhead speed without losing your strike
• Why better ball striking can create extra distance without extra effort
One of the biggest changes in Leo’s swing came when he stopped asking, **“How do I do this?”**
Instead, his attention moved onto what the clubhead was doing in real time.
Could he feel its weight?
Could he feel it falling?
Could he allow his body to react to the swinging golf club?
As soon as that happened, many of the golf swing positions we were looking for started appearing naturally.
This is why feeling the clubhead can be so valuable. Rather than consciously controlling your arms, wrists, hips and shoulders, you give your body something meaningful to respond to.
The result can be a golf swing that feels freer, more rhythmical and — as Leo discovered — considerably more effortless.

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 YouTube 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 tumble
I’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!
