TRAIL ELBOW LEADS THE WAY TO MORE DISTANCE IN THE GOLF SWING
How does the trail elbow lead the way to more distance in the golf swing? How does the right elbow work in the downswing and the backswing in order to create better ball striking and additional power?
This has been a popular question on my golf videos. Their are a number of right elbow downswing drills here on YouTube and I think this weeks golf tip is right up there as one of the most simplest and easiest to achieve a perfect impact position with the trail elbow flexed at impact.

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.
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!

Another clear and helpful lesson Danny. I find this exercise very difficult though as I am left handed playing right handed golf.
Always liked your vids and this one is a great one. keep up the good work Danny
This makes loads of sense can’t wait to get out and try it have tried the chopping action with some success but I really fancy this one cheers Danny
Like the video Danny. I think it's really going make the swing more natural. Thank you.
Instead of keeping the trail hand paralysed throughout the swing, I have been thinking it should be useful in some way or the other but I couldn't figure out how. Thank you Danny for pointing out exactly how to make use of the trail hand and that too in such a very easy-to-follow style of instruction. Ofline or online, you're my best golf coach.
I really like how you explain and use terms and ideas that are easy to understand. Makes sense to me. Time to hit the range.
Great video Danny! Glad you pointed out not trying to tuck your right elbow in unnaturally. I was about to start focusing on keeping that elbow in tight so you may have saved me some wasted time!
so good….watched it again. you put so much energy into your vids.
practiced today..sure makes a difference..i have many of the bad habits u mentioned in an effort to get the perfect swing ..u r a great teacher. thankyou
Thanks for this Dan, great explanation. Hear me out here; (stood in a safe place) if I was to throw old clubs instead, should they go straight or slightly left? Thanks!
Excellent vid Danny
Hi Danny , a great video and analogy in how to get that power from trail arm and what may be the cause of not letting it flow/throw freely in that motion. It made me think what may be my hold up in doing that as well in ,just letting that "throw go" in a relaxed full swing and through motion . It reminded me of another of your videos where i thought of the correlation in apprehension in the swing went hand in hand in what you mentioned in that video as well . The subject of your other video was "hitting ground behind the ball" and correcting that. You touched on one major thing for me that i think has the same reason that creates same problem for me here with trail elbow subject . NOT moving your head/eyes down and keeping so focused on hitting the ball /making contact, = head down , eye on the ball and not wanting to miss that shot that we just get into that overly rigid stiff swing with focus on 'keeping the eye on the ball " so much so, that it inhibits us from getting that power from the trail arm and a great free flowing follow through and that "PUNCH" POWER into the shot that you talk about here . The other video for folks who may not have seen it yet on how to stop hitting ground behind the ball (starting at spot where you discuss that over focus/ stiffness head down) ,creating that creates that stiff mechanical swing causing so many issues in getting stuck in this mode .
https://youtu.be/DHZ1zY612_M?t=148 For me that fault of getting so overly focused on keeping the eyes and head down on the ball can be a huge problem in many aspects of a good overall powerful swing. Just getting stuck in doing this and keeping the head eyes down in this manner can inhibit my swing in several ways, and definitely not getting this power throwing motion fits into that head down problem , i immediately recalled you discussing this exact problem in the other video and it just clicked !! Thanks for the pointers that will help correct the problem with this issue and achieve that power punch for distance and just "letting it go" !! Great info for me to help correct an issue i have in several area you discuss! !! Sean
Thanks Danny this will also help me from swinging over the top on downswing
Hi Danny, Great lesson. Wow I like your style. Wish I lived there or you here in Ontario, Canada so I could get a personal lesson!! I was wondering…my issue is my hips trust toward the ball on the follow through. 64 now and am starting my 59 year playing this great game. I have looked and cannot find a video on hip trust. Do you have to recommend? I've just started hitting balls again and it seems if I concentrate on my butt staying out, pushed away as in setup, I get better results. Looking for a thought or mind set that might be easier!? As a teen and early 20's play to +1 and was a 1-3 from 35 to 61. Last 3 years handicap has been creeping up. Now at 5 and lord I want to get back down. Short game is fine loosing strokes on long and mid game play. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!!! Sorry for the length of this message and again thank you very much for all the videos you have out there. It is very much appreciated! Mark.
Thanks, you really helped. I was stuck, didn't know why. I was doing what you said not to do. Thinking about getting my right elbow tucked in instead of keeping it natural…
Danny again a very good example of what the sequence is and how it should be natural.
Great vlog as always Danny. Question for you. My coach is telling me to get the handle forward at impact but it feels like I'm dragging the handle versus having the handle ahead of impact. It also makes me feel like i don;t have a release. Does that make sense?
good stuff again Danny…
Hi Danny wow you have made it look so simple and easy . First class vid . This is one of my fav vids . 1st class ????????
Another crafted explanation and this appears also to greatly assist in getting the body moving from left to right many thanks for your videos Danny , cheers chris
In spite all the comparisons you may make with other sports or moves the golf swing isn't a natural motion, if it was it would be easier !
It's easy and natural to throw a ball with one hand, it isn't with two.
Hello Danny
In which situation do you think is ideal to use low bouncing wedge?
Great video! Could you please comment on squaring the club while making the throwing feel?
Is a light grip the key or a concisely effort required? Thanks again Marty
Saturdays are always great, waking up to your videos. Thanks, Danny!
