0:00Hey everybody, Danny Maude here. Thanks
0:02for joining us. This week I have got an
0:04incredible exercise for you that can
0:06improve
0:07pretty much any aspect of your golf
0:09swing in a very natural and easy way. If
0:12you've been trying to improve your
0:13takeaway move,
0:15in fact, you know what? Let's just get
0:16cracking with the cracking with the
0:17video cuz you know what? It improves
0:18takeaway move, it improves rotation
0:21through impact, it improves transference
0:22of weight, improves your ability to
0:24square up the club face. It pretty much
0:26improves everything. So, before we get
0:28into the video though, if you're new to
0:30the channel and this is one of your
0:31first
0:32videos with me, consider subscribing. If
0:35you press that little bell button next
0:36to subscribe, you get to see videos like
0:38this every single week from me so I can
0:40come and help you improve your game. So,
0:43what is it? Well,
0:45I've kind of created videos for quite a
0:46while now when I've actually used your
0:49natural action. So, what most people
0:51don't realize is that they have a
0:52natural ability to play this game. I
0:55often show people, film people throwing
0:57golf balls and their bodies and the way
1:00their bodies move are just incredible,
1:02completely different to when they're
1:03swinging a golf club.
1:05And I would My job as a golf coach is to
1:07bring that out of you as much as I
1:08possibly can. And I wanted to develop
1:11the throwing action into something that
1:12was actually hitting golf balls a lot
1:14more seamlessly. So, I came up with
1:16this. So,
1:17what I want you to do, oh, it's very
1:19simply is this.
1:20I want you here
1:23to start hitting some golf balls
1:25one-handed.
1:26Bear with me, okay?
1:28It can My Most people start start
1:31thinking, you know, there's no way I can
1:32do this, but I'm going to show you some
1:33videos of
1:35ladies doing this, senior golfers doing
1:37this, everybody doing this and it is
1:39amazing how they do it. They swing so
1:42much better, they strike it so much
1:44better. It's just incredible, right? But
1:46I'm going to show you just one thing.
1:47So, we'll get ourselves set here
1:49in position and all we're going to do is
1:50start to practice swinging
1:52and hitting the golf ball
1:55one-handed.
1:58Why would I do this? Why would I even
1:59create it? Well, one,
2:01here's the thing. It naturally helps
2:03your body move better. Why is that?
2:06Well, I've taken your strength away.
2:09See, the thing is, when you see a child
2:11playing golf,
2:12they just seem to learn quickly, don't
2:14they, right? They seem to learn and they
2:15always seem to have great good-looking
2:16golf swings very quick early on. But,
2:18they don't start like that. When they
2:20first start, I've got three kids.
2:21They've got twin boys that are four and
2:23Ava's six. And their swings are looking
2:25great already, and I haven't told them a
2:27thing, right? Now, what's happening?
2:30They start off and they're hitting it
2:31along the ground, all over the place,
2:33with awful swings.
2:35The The thing is is they number one
2:37objective is to hit the ball as far as
2:39they can. That's all they're interested
2:40in, right?
2:41Now, as they're doing this, their bodies
2:44are working out naturally how to do
2:46this. They're They're naturally working
2:47out the answer. Now, the difference
2:49between a child and an adult is you have
2:52strength. They don't. So, here's your
2:54problem.
2:56You can make a bad swing work just
2:59purely because of strength. You can
3:01stand like this. You can swing like
3:03this. You can muscle a golf ball and
3:06actually get a result. A child can't.
3:09They don't have your strength.
3:10So, you can get away with poor
3:12mechanics, and because you can, you
3:15develop poor mechanics.
3:18So, I want to under- undevelop and I
3:20want to get you learning like a child
3:21again. So, if I take your strength away
3:24and get you swinging one-handed, you are
3:27I'm forcing you to swing with great
3:29mechanics naturally. Now, when people
3:32start with this, do you think they just
3:33hit the ball great straight away? No.
3:35Just like a child, they'll hit terrible
3:37shots. But, the difference now is you
3:40will naturally develop good mechanics.
3:43So, for those of you who maybe struggle
3:45with the takeaway move, watch this.
3:47If I'm If my number one objective is to
3:49bring that club face back to square, do
3:51you think it makes any sense for me to
3:53do this?
3:55Just feels weird to do that. But, you
3:57know what? When the left hand's in there
3:58and I've got the strength,
3:59I can I feel I can get away with it.
4:02So, get myself set here. The takeaway
4:04move naturally is better here. I'm in a
4:06a much stronger position here and the
4:08what always happens with people in this
4:10situation here is this. If you
4:12traditionally poor ball strikers stay
4:15very static through the impact area.
4:17They don't move their legs.
4:19You do that with one hand and the club
4:21here cuz your body stops, the club's
4:23just going to simply wrap through and
4:25hood the face and hook it miles left for
4:28right-handers. So, let's have a look at
4:29that in action. So, if I don't move my
4:30body, which I kind of won't, it
4:34it's just going to whip straight over
4:36left because I can't control it.
4:38But, the problem is is an adult and
4:39you've got the strength,
4:41well, you can guide that ball now and
4:44start to push it down the fairway and
4:45get away with it.
4:47So, here's what happens. Because that
4:49just feels weird and awkward one-handed,
4:51you've got to try this to kind of kind
4:52of feel it. Cuz it feels weird, watch
4:55this. Suddenly, my body
4:57works so much better. But, don't just
5:00take my word for it. Have a look at some
5:03of these images here of people that have
5:05gone from
5:07awkward motions to incredible impact
5:09positions
5:10using one hand.
5:29So, it's amazing, isn't it? The
5:30difference is that this is such an
5:32amazing exercise. You need patience,
5:34though.
5:35The reason why I'm still going to be in
5:36a job because most of peop- most people
5:38or most golfers, they just won't like
5:40hitting bad shots. So, they won't have
5:41the patience to do this. But, if you do,
5:44you will naturally develop some
5:45incredible mechanics. It And you'll
5:48learn the sensation of the golf swing.
5:51So, let's hit a few shots and I'll show
5:53you how you can break this down and then
5:54practice it.
6:07Absolutely dead straight. And this
6:08here's the other thing. Here's the
6:10feelings I get from this.
6:13I'm turning here. My body turns. I'm
6:16keeping naturally, by the way. This
6:17feels like a more angle in my wrist
6:19here. Cuz that's the only way I can keep
6:21the club face square. If I just let this
6:23go,
6:24I'm going to hook it all the way to the
6:25left.
6:26Do you know what? Nobody slices with
6:28this. Nobody comes over the top.
6:31Everyone gets the right sequence. Cuz
6:32you know what? This just feels strange.
6:35You just wouldn't do it, right? So,
6:38how does it work and can it work with
6:40things like driver?
6:43It can indeed.
6:45Have a look at this.
7:04Can it work with a short game?
7:08So, here's Stefan.
7:10Where are you from, Stefan?
7:11Switzerland.
7:12Swiss has come from Switzerland. He's
7:14trying to learn to play bunker. There he
7:15is with one hand in the pocket.
7:18Ah, look at that. Pops it out
7:20beautifully.
7:21Easy.
7:23It works with everything. It's just
7:27brilliant. It will give you so much feel
7:31for the golf swing, it is just untrue.
7:34Yes, you're going to struggle with it
7:35sometimes at the start, but I've had
7:37guys who have literally come up and
7:39almost started hit it it straight away.
7:42Let me grab driver for you and show you
7:44how it works your driver.
7:47So, you grab driver, people think my
7:48god, driver's going to be like super
7:49difficult with this. Do you know what?
7:51It's just the same. Swing back.
7:55Swing through. And all I'm going to do
7:57here is nice and smooth.
7:58Hand beyond the back.
8:00Back here.
8:02Through to here.
8:07And what's fascinating about I actually
8:09hit that one to the right. Brilliant.
8:11Why? I got incredible feedback from that
8:13what I did. Why did I go go to the right
8:15there?
8:16I could feel my hips slide into this
8:19position here and hit it out to the
8:21right. Do you know what? With two hands,
8:23I may have recovered that. I don't want
8:25to have a swing that is recovering uh
8:27this. These swings like that are
8:28inconsistent. This will train you to
8:31swing fantastically well. Once you've
8:34got the sensation of stuff like this,
8:36all you got to do then
8:38is build up the practice
8:42with this. So, if you kind of in a
8:43sense, you can make some swings here.
8:46Just feel like you're finishing nice and
8:48short first.
8:51Feel that motion here. Don't be trying
8:52to swing all the way through. That just
8:54gets the arm being very, very active.
8:57This is all about helping you feel and
8:59control this motion. So, you get
9:02yourself set.
9:04Feel that motion here. Maybe stopping
9:05almost there.
9:07Putting then the lead hand in and maybe
9:08just hitting a few shots now.
9:27Kind of getting that sensation. So,
9:30what you're doing with this is the
9:31one-handed exercise simply helps you
9:34develop a swing without your
9:36manipulation because
9:39it just takes your strength away. So, be
9:41a child again. Get that one-handed out.
9:43Start to hit some golf balls one-handed.
9:45Gradually build it up. Let's summarize
9:48briefly.
9:49What is it?
9:51Nothing complicated. You're simply
9:52playing golf one-handed. It works for
9:54every shot. You can chip with this. You
9:56can putt with this. You can play bunkers
9:58with this. You can do everything with
9:59this.
10:00Once you got the feel of this,
10:02when you swing back, you can actually
10:04feel, well, where would I put my
10:05takeaway if it was one-handed?
10:07Well, I'd put it there. I won't put it
10:08around here. Then you can put this hand
10:10on and go, "Wow, that is a very
10:11different position."
10:13Where am I swinging through to? Work on
10:14the halfway position here. Well, that's
10:17very different cuz normally
10:19I'm here or
10:20here. So, straight away, all these
10:22feelings become different. Let the
10:25one-handed swing be your coach. So, so
10:29important. Hope you enjoyed the
10:31training. If you did, and do you know
10:33what? Please recommend this to as many
10:34people as you can. It's such a simple
10:36way of getting people to play really,
10:39really good golf.
10:41I I haven't released it today. I kind of
10:43kept it to myself, but I just want to
10:44share this with the world. It's It's so
10:46It works so, so well. It really, really
10:48does.
