The Ridiculous Reason Why 90% of Golfers Can't Strike Their Irons

Step 3, bouncing the ball towards the target. The single-most brilliant thing I’ve seen from any golf coach on YouTube. Simple yet profound. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you, Danny.

The only golf instructor I'll listen to on Youtube. Great stuff

Yet again Danny makes so much sense without having too many thoughts

I learned more from this 12 minute lesson than years on YouTube and in person lessons. Very much appreciated 👏

Yes! Hit the ball FORWARD. Most golfers definitely imagine the wrong intention. They’re either trying to hit DOWN AT the ball, which makes you too steep, and often over-the-top. Or…. They’re trying to hit the ball UP, which makes you bottom out behind the ball, making you hit it fat, or catching it on the upswing, and skulling it. No matter what club you have in your hands, set up to the ball and imagine that you’re trying to drive it low, and forward towards the target. The loft on the club will provide the up, even though you’re trying to drive it low. Also, with all your intent focused on hitting it FORWARD, you’ll naturally end up with your weight on your left side, and you’ll feel like you’re putting “pressure” into the back of the ball. This creates a very compressed, and powerful strike, and gets you through the ball, with a nice follow through. I’m telling you people, trying to hit the ball FORWARD will change your game forever. Great video, as always, Danny!

I just love that he keeps his lessons simple and focuses on fundamentals. He is not trying to recreate some complex PGA players swing that took them 15+ years to build like other YouTubers do. He gets us as average golfers are just trying to make consistent contact and have fun playing the game.

High handicap golfer (hcp 45) here. Watched this video during breakfest today. Tee time for 9 holes was 11:50 am. Though I give it a try at the range and what should I say: it worked perfectly! Without effort my irons went as far as always but with less effort. If I added the down throw motion you describe distance increased but consistency decreased as well. So have to work on that! But amazing lesson. Thank you Danny for sharing this. Extremly helpful. On the course I had my second best round ever using the effort less swing. What an easter present. Great content 🎉

This is by far the best explanation of three easy steps for ball striking. Especially the focal point on the downswing. I was always looking at the ball or slightly in front of it. You are 100% correct with the bad intentions this does. I appreciate you explaining how to correct this bad habit! Thank you sir🙌🏽

The ONLY problem with this video is that it is done so well and makes such perfect sense, that when I go through the process as you did and don't hit it so well, so effortlessly, I'll be crushed. Lol. You always break things down so beautifully.

Just a fantastic lesson Danny! My wife is just taking up the game (she must not have enough aggravation in her life, LOL) so this is a must watch for her as she has not grasped the concept of rotating her rib cage yet. Also great for me because even tho I've played now for 53 years....I've lost some flexibility and distance being 65yrs old. Thank You!

This video is GOLD…..the “using the ribs as a guide”, and focusing on where you’re trying to hit to, instead of the ball… can’t wait to try this! Thanks Danny

i am a single digit handicap that has always struggled with the back swing not allowing the club to set correctly. This video instruction really helped me with solving that problem. i worked with this on the range today and really felt like i had "an a ha moment". Thanks Danny

This may have been the best golf video I've ever seen

Once again you are absolutely putting out the best lessons. We really appreciate what you do and because of you I was able to hit the green four times at 150 yards with my 7 iron. That’s unheard of for me.

just started golfing a couple weeks ago and your content is the first i gravitated too. friends are already amazed by my quick improvements. i’ll be here watching your videos for a while. thanks a bunch danny.

Thanks danny, i started playing this year, and im already down to a 26 handicap. By far the best coach on YouTube. I still have some work, but thanks again!

Am taking your video to my next range session. I would take your smooth rhythm hitting irons all day!

Excellent lesson Danny - brings together concepts from other videos of yours in a fresh way

I"m back Danny. You are my go to guy when I am lost on my swing after 8 months of not playing golf. And it helps a lot. Thanks.

I watched this video 2 hours before my round yesterday and I am a 14 handicap keep in mind. Could nvr hit my 4-6 irons consistently and nowhere near as far as they should. After this video I added an easy 20-30 yards per club and lost my slice entirely. Took 5-6 strokes off my round and also impressed my friends. This works guys and girls, give it a try
