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.

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!

No offense to Rick Shiels but we gotta get our boy Danny past that 1 million subs. He's consistently delivering quality instruction delivered in an concise easy to digest manner. Stuff you can remember and take straight to the range or course to work on.

[zhivago]

This little freaky and implausible move has given me a feeling of using the ground I never believed possible. As with most things related to golf, everything ends up feeling the opposite of what it appears to be. Keep it up, Danny. You are my number one YouTuber for golf-related content.

I tried out your feet together drill with my irons and driver. Worked great with my irons from short to hybrids. Driver, - I struggled a bit. But overall I was making better contact. Thanks a bunch!!

[TheSports]

Danny I went to the driving range today and worked on tempo moving my feet, rocking myself and hitting easy shots. The ball rocketed off all my clubs straight as an arrow.
It was the best practice I ever had using all the irons and my hybrid.
I was taking such an easy swing and relaxing drills before the shot.
Your relax routine really works Danny and hitting easy shots
Feeling good where I am heading

[paulhaycock]

I love your passion to teach, it’s almost you can’t wait to share your lessons, great stuff as usual and we are all grateful for this because we all can’t play at the moment.

[sttovo]

This is a great drill that I’ve been employing for a couple of months with very good results. My ball-striking has improved and my standard flight is now a nice draw. The other advantage is that thinking only about the movement of my heels is a great, simple swing thought. Thanks Danny you’re a terrific teacher.

[bobwayne]

If they only knew how many well known top 100 instructors I've seen and money spent. Started watching Dan the man and found out that the joke was on me. You would think one instructor would tell me I was swaying off the ball. One! The light bulb started to go off with your video of an effortless swing, the one where you met up with your dad and saw him hitting the best that he has at an older age. The tip on rocking the heels front and back was genius. I was always chasing the swing when I was always sound except for that sway. My golf game has improved in every area and continues to improve with every video that I watch of yours. The putting videos are also golden. Thanks for all you do Danny! Keep up the great work, your teachings really had an impact on my golf game and enjoyment of this great game that I love so much!

[BillyDee]

I’ve been playing for 70 years at a fairly high level and consider myself a student of the game. I never heard of this little move/feel. I took it to the range yesterday, and literally started hitting my pitching wedge 15 yards further with a much better strike, not sure I can even explain it to my golfing buddies – – or if I should! Thank you Danny, your lessons have been really interesting and entertaining. You have a very nice way and style about you. I love your video’s. Again, Thank you very much.

[mannya]

I've stopped watching other YT golf instructors and concentrating on Danny's videos. He's simply the best!

[stefanliebner]

This makes so much sense for me. Years ago I was told to "fire your hips". But that results exactly in the "weak position" you describe. Fire the right hip (righthand player) forward and your heals turn backward in response. But if you move your hips just a bit sideways towards the target just before/during the downswing, your heals feel like they are towards the target. Keep on posting like that, this helps so much...

[wordclouds]

One of the best videos all together.
Danny explains it with focus on the heels; if you want to look at it with focus on the forefoot (contact point with the ground) it would be something like this:

When the bones of the left big toe push COUNTERCLOCKWISE, the pelvis turns CLOCKWISE. When the bones of the right big toe push CLOCKWISE, the pelvis turns COUNTERCLOCKWISE. (Proof: standing on ice, the feet would slip in the direction of the push and the pelvis would stay square).
The pressure feeling on the bones of the big toe resembles the quarter turn to the right(left toe push)/left(right toe push) when starting to walk in that direction(right/left).

When the pelvis reaches its max rotation of the backswing, inertia of mass causes the upper body/ club head to continue on its path to the complete reverse at the top. 
At that time you start pushing your right foot (pressure on the inside of the bones of right big toe) CLOCKWISE, bringing the pelvis counterclockwise back to the target line. That move does 'not wait for the club head', let it finish its travel (waist must be kept flexible). This creates the separation between pelvis position and club head.

At this point the CLOCKWISE push has brought your pelvis COUNTERCLOCKWISE back in line with the target. You squat and push the the right foot-bones-big-toe explosively CLOCKWISE. This whips your pelvis around to face the target.

This motion of the feet is joined by the upwards jump: at that point the bones of the right toe push initially CLOCKWISE, the bones or left toe COUNTERCLOCKWISE; this snaps both femurs into endorotation when the weight comes off the feet (supporting the jump) and the knees snap together.

Conclusion: control of the swing with the bones of your big toes causes the swing to be in proper sequence. With a passive upper body, this will create the proper separation and the path will consequently be in-to-out.

[markmayes]

This is GENIUS !!! So happy I found Danny's videos. It's much more than subtle on the downswing. Look at Rory. He visibly moves his lead heal at least an inch. Now take a look at Bubba Watson's heal movement. It's ridiculous lol !!

[carlmills]

Excellence is par fo your instructing Danny, I have only been playing a couple of years and during my first summer was able to strike my irons very well for a beginner but that changed when playing partners kept telling me I had too much weight on my front foot at the top of my swing causing my front knee to go forward as the club reached the top. I listened, and changed to how they felt my weight should be moving and proceeded to play terrible golf for months.something clicked after one of your lessons a couple of weeks ago, and thankfully I returned to my old ways .
Now hitting irons sweetly again.thanks so much Danny.

[alangoudie]

Another really valuable tip.
HEELS BACK IN BACKSWING.

HEELS TOWARDS TARGET IN THROUGH SWING.

Many thanks, Alan.

Been practicing using the Down Under Board, as my footwork was sloppy. That gave me ten yards on my irons as I stayed centered and did not sway off the ball. It also helped with early extension. The instructional video with the board really didn't explain the why's of how it works very well. So I hit the net on your early extension videos, which helped me understand the footwork aspect much better. Then I came across this puppy. This may add up to another ten yards. 8 iron carry for me has gone up from 140 to close to 150 with the board. I have a tendency for a pull as my miss large due to a lack of rotation. Using these two things, my rotation is so much more effective in translating into better contact and smash factor. Just hit a few balls on SkyTrak and this is sick awesome ! Ball is starting to the right of the target line with a draw. Carry is approaching 160. P.S. Shiels is good, but you are a little better. :-O

[randydurrenberger]

Great lessons Danny. I can see my faults in some of these videos and the lessons are definitely helping. Muscle memory is a hard pattern to break until you feel the difference and then stick with it. Thanks for simplifying things.

[golfergab]

Without a doubt the most underrated aspect of the golf swing. Being a self learner myself, I have looked all over the internet for some “feelings” that were easy and repeatable, this is BY FAR the best I have encountered! keep up the good work

[paulcairney]

having been a left to right player for years i have never had anyone of the pro, s at any of the clubs that i was a member of, mentioned this movement at any time inall the years that i have been playing explained this easy drill, today i will be at my club to work on this simple movement and see for myself if i can get out of this slice which i have had over the years thank you danny.

[treeguy]

I really enjoy your perspective always, and the delivery screams passion.
