Struggle with inconsistent ball striking, coming over the top or feeling like your golf swing takes too much effort? In this Danny Maude golf lesson, you’ll learn how the right arm should move in the golf swing to help you strike your irons more consistently, hit driver straighter and create a smoother, more effortless golf swing. A lot of golfers make the swing much harder than it needs to be because the right shoulder and right arm get blocked very early in the backswing. When that happens, the elbow can move behind the body, the club becomes difficult to control and you may be forced to compensate on the way down. In this lesson, Danny Maude shows you a much simpler way to organise the right arm so the golf club can move back freely and then be thrown naturally underneath through impact. In this golf lesson you’ll learn: • How the right arm should move in the golf swing • Why the right shoulder can block your backswing • How to create more space for the trail arm at setup • Why the shoulder blade should move naturally in the backswing • How an underarm throwing action can improve your downswing • How to stop coming over the top • A simple drill for golfers who pull or slice the ball • How to improve iron strike without forcing shaft lean • Why body position affects whether you hit ball then turf • How to create a more effortless and powerful golf swing The key is to picture the golf swing more like **bowling a ball underarm down an alleyway**. Instead of forcing the club into positions, allow the right arm to move freely around you and then throw the club underneath towards the target. When the arm has enough space to move, the body can begin to organise itself much more naturally around the task. ⏱️ **TIMESTAMPS** 00:00 How the right arm can improve your golf swing 01:04 The underarm throwing motion used by good ball strikers 02:01 Why the right shoulder blocks the golf backswing 02:41 Simple setup change to free the right arm 03:43 How to stop coming over the top naturally 05:20 Right arm golf drill for a smoother downswing 06:30 Drill to fix pulls and slices 07:29 How the right arm improves swing path and power 08:27 How to strike the golf ball before the ground 09:35 How to take this right arm move into your normal swing ▶️ 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 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
