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!

This golf lesson provides a couple of wonderful drills to help you hit your driver straight.If you are a beginner golfer and are looking for some golf driver tips that are simple and easy to do then you are going to love this.
I will show you the golf swing slow motion so that you can see what you need to do to improve.
We look at 3 things:
1. How to stop slicing your driver
2. How to swing more in to out or how to swing more inside out
3, How to get the correct impact position with driver
and I hope to do all this with simple golf tips so you can create an effortless golf swing
How many times have you got super excited
that you’ve tried a golf tip, it works, but then you go out the following day and it for
some reason it just suddenly stops. Well, this was a situation probably stupid by Rich. He tries so
so hard. He practices a lot and he cannot get the consistency that he wants. He wants to learn how
to hit driver straight on a consistent basis. He wants to learn how to strike his irons much much
better, but he just hasn’t been able to do it. And you can imagine when certainly when I come
to see him, he’s unbelievably tense and really really stiff. So like a lot of students, Rich was
falling into the same old trap that see with so many other students, focusing on lots of things,
but missing one vital ingredient that every single golfer needs to learn. In this video, I want to
share with you what it is. Because without it, I don’t care whatever you’re working on, nothing
will work consistently well. I’m super excited to share it with you. If you’re new to the channel,
it’s one of your first videos of mine, please consider subscribing. I release videos just like
this every single week to try and help you improve your game. Plus, you never have to remember a
thing. Everything we do here, I’ll put into a free download practice guide in the description box
below. So, I’d love to take you through exactly the same process that took Rich through because
I think it’s if you learn this, you will start to kind of it will be like one of those aha moments.
I’m sure it will where everything starts to fall more effortlessly into play. Now, let me show you
this. And this is what I started off with Rich. So he was really struggling with his ball striking.
He couldn’t generate any power. He definitely couldn’t get any accuracy because he didn’t know
this. So what I want to show you is this. So if I have a look at here, this is what we class as a
square face. A club face that’s pointing towards a target, right? The problem is if you were to hit
a golf ball like this, the problem is that shaft is very vertical and the chances are the bottom
of your golf swing now would be behind or on the ball. That would lead to yes, maybe a straight
shot, but it would lead to a very fat shot and have awful contact. Now, kind of Rich knew this.
So, what he would do to improve contact, he says, “I know I need to get the bottom of my swing look
after the golf ball, Danny. So, I need to get that handle forward.” Absolutely. But when he moves
the handle forward, where’s the face pointing now? It’s to the right, isn’t it? So if I move
my handle forward, the face points to the right. So he would do that. He would strike it pretty
reasonably, but then see these balls flying out to the right. So instinctively, what do you think he
does? Bang. Back to straight. But now the problem is, look, he goes back to straight. The shaft is
now vertical. He starts flicking the wrist and starts fatting it. So, he didn’t understand the
pattern. He was try working all these things in his golf swing, but he didn’t understand the
pattern that all great players generally do through the impact area to get compression,
strike, and accuracy. And it’s simply this, and this is the first thing I want you to kind of
play around with. If you put a club up like this, move your hands forward. You can see the face now
is pointing to the right. All I want you to do, so I’ve kind of moved my handle forward, is this.
Rotate the wrist downwards. So what I’ve done now is I’ve squared the fist with a rotation of the
wrist and the forearm downwards like this. So look at this now from here face aiming to the
right turn wrist down. So all I did I put this on the on his on his club and I said look when
you’re coming into impact that face is pointing to the right and high. I want you to practice
getting the sensation of simply just doing this. this this look at this just to turn it down.
It’s a turn what we call a turn down release. And he’s like, “Well, that feels completely different
because he’s got what’s called a throw release or a drag shank block release, right? Block slicing.”
So now he’s got the sensation. I said, “Light just practice this motion of just very simply just
doing this. Turn that face down to the ground. No, no. Turn it down there. Turn the face onto
that golf ball. Now, I didn’t get him to hit massive shots to start with. All I did was I said,
“Look, let’s just start with a few chips out there because if you start to try and hit some massive
shots to start with, you’d probably just go to back to your old pattern. This is new, right?
And I want you to do the same. Take some time and just stand maybe almost like a few uh maybe
two or three clubs apart. Get yourself set. And I want you to practice very gently. Just imagine
this left arm rotating the club downwards. Just like that. So, we’re just chipping it out there.
Just like that. Just chip it out there. And you can see here, look, I’ve just chipped it
out there. My bottom of my golf swing. Look, you see 4.6 six inches after the golf ball. Just
chipping it out there. Getting a sensation of now I know that the hands all rotate downwards.
I mean with a rotational motion this way. How that was like one of those aha moments for him.
Massive. Because this pattern of movement is so alien to him because he was so used to this and
then no that doesn’t work. this that he would always generally slice it, strike it terrible.
Now, when Rich started this initially, this is kind of what happened. He didn’t get it straight
away, but then when he started to turn it down, he started to create shots that looked a little
bit like this. Now, the problem was he would start to hit a few hooks. And you could probably imagine
that, can’t you? Well, if you turn this down, would you shut the face? Yes, you would. That’s
not a bad starting point though, right? Getting the turning it down. If you’re particularly if
you’re big slicing, this is a great starting point. But the reason why he was basically hooking
it to start with was because he didn’t have the second ingredient. So notice this. I said we
got to get the handle ahead. Turn the forearm downwards this way. But notice this. My right
side here has an angle to it, hasn’t it? Right. Why? Because I personally am supporting this
whole right side with my right side of my body. My right knee’s moved in, my hips moved in, my
right shoulders moved in, and I’m supporting our club. When Rich started, this is what I see. And
it kills your power, and it will kill your strike with this is he didn’t. His right side stayed
solid. So that he’s tried to turn it down and he has done but now the problem is look the face
is anywhere where left because he can’t keep this angle naturally if this right side doesn’t support
him. So the second Sid once we got him feeling how the lead hand needed to rotate the club downwards
all I did was get him to just support that motion by banking his trail foot in his knee in here
his hips going forward shoulder everything just leaning forward. Now suddenly look he can support
that whole motion look into the shot. So now what happens as opposed to that club violently
flipping over he’s got a beautiful square face but now suddenly he’s starting to generate
power and accuracy and strike with one simple move which now he can take to the golf course. So
I said to him as we’re doing this I said look we need to take to the golf course. So, let’s have
a little system. Get yourself set. And I want you to just imagine you could start even if you
want, you could do it with your left hand. Just practice just few little exercises just throwing
that club down. Rotate downwards. Support it with that right side. Gradually build it up. You see my
right side’s moving into the shot. Supporting that motion. And we play a few shots like that. Get
ourselves set. Watch this beautiful little draw. Just really exaggerating that turn down motion.
And then we can say, look, if you start overdoing this, not a problem. What do we need to do? Same
principle. Get that right side supporting it even more as you turn it down. And now suddenly what
you’re doing is you’re generating a beautiful strike. You’re generating the squaring in the
face and you’re supporting that whole motion with the trail side moving through the shot. And
all of this can be felt just a few seconds before every swing. Just like that. All you’ve got to do
get I’ll put one maybe a link in the description for one of these in the description box below. But
this is the cheapest and one of the best training tools you could possibly have and it’s super super
simple. So before I finish, I’d love to take just two more minutes of your time. Now Rich had a
pretty good setup, but not everyone has this. And I just want to mention this before we finish. When
you’re setting up to the short, I said to you, we want its left arm to be rotating downwards to
the ball like this. Right? You get some feedback. A lot of players have their left arm at the start
of the swing too much rotated here when they’re gripping the golf club often because their grip’s
too weak, but they rotate in. When it’s like this, generally what you’re gonna see through impact
is this left arm of them wanting to roll in the opposite direction, which opens the club face.
Okay? So, just bear that in mind. Rich didn’t need this, but I do see this a lot. Set your left
arm up. Just make sure everything’s rotated a little bit more this way so it has the ability
to then rotate down. Then, as you can hear in the background, it’s ideal to have devices like
HackMotion, which I you if you’re regular to my channel, you’ll see me using this to give you
feedback as to whether you’re doing it correctly. Sometimes people feel they’re doing it correctly,
but having some device showing you is super super important. So I get myself a dress like this dress
position. It’s telling me to make a short swing. Get the feeling of that wrist turning downwards
and then perfect. It’s just giving me that sensation of exactly am I doing this correctly?
Obviously if I start to do it incorrectly like make a short swing, this would be incorrect. It’s
going to tell me that. And this is so so important for golfers. So do me a favor. If you can make
sure you train this motion coming backwards and forwards into this golf ball. Use devices like
Hack Motion to provide you with that feedback. It’s super super simple. And understanding and
getting a sense of how this club head works is possibly the most important thing any golfer
can work on. Yes, you work in the body. Hugely correct. Uh hugely important. But this is the gold
dust right here, right in the head. So get used to feeling it. It would be massively beneficial.

You are a genius indeed. I have been having this same problems. Thanks a bunch. Will try it out tomorrow.
On paper this works, but when I try this it essentially takes all the loft away and makes my hands get high at impact (I think bc I know the face is either going to be shut or there’s not going to be any dynamic loft).. any pointers to work this in and prevent a shut face /loss of the loft? Grip is fairly neutral/not overly strong
One thing you're missing here is the ulnar deviation of the lead wrist. All pros do that. Ulnar deviation WITH wrist rotation.
bender talks about this a lot
I’m struggling with this very problem. This is great content as always. Thank you and keep it coming.
This got 90 minutes of focussed practice yesterday and it REALLY worked for me. This massively influences the consistency with which you will hit the small ball before the big ball – Danny seldom uses the golf cliches but we can in the comments. Top lesson. Thanks Coach 🌟
That hit a spot for me, straight at it with no slice and good length. Very valuable video 👌🏻
Excellent video so well explained and very easy to implement.
Honestly, this video couldn’t have come at a better time, almost feels like it was tailored to what I’ve been looking for/missing. Been having problems with slicing driver. Started with fixing over the top, then realised I wasn’t releasing the club early enough and driving the handle like you would with irons. Once I fixed that, I realised I wasn’t turning the face. Got all of that into place and shots have started going left. On the plus side, it’s not a slice anymore, but couldn’t figure out why some shots go straight and others would pull left. Just tried the second tip and it prevents you from over rotating the face. Genuinely excited to tee off now, rather than the usual tee shot anxiety. Another great video Danny 👍🏼
Danny, i thought I had it figured out. I'm swinging from the inside, hitting the ground after the ball, making solid contact, and getting a bruise on my right forearm…? There's gotta be something going wrong with the way I'm releasing the club to deliver power. Any ideas?
I’d imagine this drill can be combined with others, like the weight forward drill (video from a few weeks ago), to really work on feeling the body shift through the ball, as well as the wrist/forearm turn to encourage solid ball striking and low point control?
Great tip
This is exactly what I deal with. One day I would shoot below 90s and the next over 100, so frustrating! I can’t wait to try this out on the course.
You call that one simple move and it has a out 6 moving parts in slow motion. Impossible at full swing speed. Not easy.
Extremely useful knowledge!
I legit just shaved 20 stokes off of my score after watching 3 of your videos lol Took 2 rounds
This worked great. Such a subtle movement became a Eureka moment for me. With Driver especially
Danny….you stated you would share the LINK(S) to both the aiming device and Hack Motion…cant find the link to the aiming device…please send it along…thanks…
Danny. The swing is bad I’m watching your vids in the middle of the fairway. Please help a brother out
If I rotate my wrist downward I hit fat shots or hooks. It requires perfect timing to square the club face .
This worked brilliantly with my irons. Should I be doing the turn-down release with woods and Driver?
I have watched most of your videos and they have all be so very helpful but this one with the "rotate the wrist downwards at release" has made a huge difference to my consistency in strike and accuracy at the driving range today now for 6 days of golf at the Gold Coast QLD Australia. Of course me doing it consistently on the golf course is the next challenge… but in the meantime thankyou
Danny, another great lesson and it is spot on! THE most important part of the golf swing is the club face at impact!!!!!
Great! I needed this too. Thanks
Years ago I came across this concept reading sports medicine journals. When studied with electronics they found pros injured their pronator terus in their left arm because that is the muscle they use when striking the ball. Whereas amateurs injured muscles in their right forearm. When I implemented that into my swing it made a huge difference.
Can I just pre set the bowed wrist at address?
