Struggle with inconsistent ball striking, slicing the golf ball or hooking your irons? In this Danny Maude golf lesson, you’ll learn a simple concept that can make the golf swing feel more natural, improve your strike and give you far more control over the golf club without thinking about lots of complicated positions. The idea comes from one of the best golf coaches in the world, Andy Plummer: think of the golf swing more like **bowling a ball underarm down an alleyway**. That simple picture can completely change the way your arms, body and golf club move through the downswing. Instead of spinning over the top, dropping the club behind you or forcing positions, the golf club can begin to travel on a much more natural path. In this golf lesson, you’ll learn: • Why the wrong golf swing concept creates slices, hooks and poor contact • How an underarm throwing action can improve your downswing • Why this simple move can help stop coming over the top • How to improve iron ball striking without forcing shaft lean • How to create natural lag without trying to hold angles • How to move the low point of your golf swing forward • How to control the golf clubface with your trail hand • Why throwing the clubhead can create more effortless speed • How to use small swings to build a more consistent golf swing • How to improve compression while keeping the swing natural If your golf swing feels overly technical, this drill is designed to give you a much simpler picture. Rather than trying to control individual body positions, imagine throwing or bowling the golf club underarm towards your target. From there, your body can begin to organise itself around the task, helping you improve strike, direction and clubface control naturally. ⏱️ **TIMESTAMPS** 00:00 Why golfers struggle with ball striking, slices and hooks 01:02 The bowling concept that simplifies the golf swing 01:52 How an underarm throw helps stop coming over the top 03:23 How to create effortless golf swing speed 04:05 Fix fat and thin iron shots without changing the swing 05:13 Simple underarm throwing drill for better ball striking 06:02 How to compress irons without forcing shaft lean 07:02 Improve clubface control and stop flipping the wrists 08:01 Use the trail hand to control golf ball direction 09:32 Golf drill to make the underarm swing feel natural ▶️ More Danny Maude golf tips, golf lessons and golf instruction: https://www.dannymaude.com 📱 Try the Danny Maude Swing Coach app FREE for 14 days: https://www.dannymaude.com/Swing-coach-app The Danny Maude Swing Coach app analyses your golf swing, identifies the movement patterns that need improving and gives you simple golf drills to help you fix them while monitoring your progress as you practise.

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! ----------------------- SUBSCRIBE!! ----------------------- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSwdmDQhAi_-ICkAvNBLEBw?sub_confirmation=1
