Most golfers don’t realise this, but 90% of golfers miss one move in their golf swing — and it’s the reason you keep slicing your driver and struggling with consistent iron strikes.
In this golf lesson, Danny Maude shows you a simple golf swing move that every great ball striker uses — but most amateurs get completely backwards. Get this right and you’ll:
✔️ Stop slicing driver and start hitting it straighter
✔️ Strike your irons consistently with ball-first contact
✔️ Add effortless distance to every club in your bag
This isn’t about complicated positions or endless swing thoughts — it’s about one pattern of movement that transforms your game.

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 it’s 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!

Love it. Thanks for another great video!😊
I have been striking my irons way better Danny, you explain it so simple thank you 🙂
This is definitely the must do move !! Great lesson Danny !!!
As usual, pure gold. 🥇
Thanks Danny, just wish I could get that consistency. My latest swing thought is the move I don’t make. I’m trying to stop my arms working first on the down swing.
Danny, when are you going to activate Windows? 😛
Brilliant. Just brilliant Danny
Great watch 🏌️♂️👌🏻
Excellent video, so thanks. Just for clarity, is this still the same when hitting a driver?
This is very helpful! Will get to work on this. Thanks Danny
Repetition! Concentration and staying in the moment is always key. Cheers Danny as ever 👍
Time for me to head down the range, thanks for the tips Danny 👏👍 (from a major slicer and small hitter)
Excellent video. I find it relatively easy to perform consistently without a ball. Striking nicely ahead of where the ball would be. However, the moment I place a ball something strange happens. Just before impact I dip down in order to hit at the ball and then hit it fat. To remedy this I try to focus on a point ahead of the ball, pretending the ball is not there and swing to that point. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Danny, do you have any other pointers or drills to keep hitting in front of the ball when the ball is actually there?
Such a straight forward explanation. Thanks for the time and effort in making these great videos, Danny
Danny do your hips start the backswing, or something else?
Superb lesson Danny ,I have a bad habit of really moving my head away from the ball so brilliant tips
Brilliant 🙌can you do lessons next time you are in Scotland please
Great tuition as ever Danny. Thank you.
I agree with your philosophy if I was about 25 to 35 years younger than what I am right now! What I would do is preset that forward hip motion before I started my swing, that way I was coming out from the Takeaway into the finishand not having to think about moving my hips plus it automatically kept my head in the position above the ball, I do this because I don’t have the rotation that I used to or the timing
There are many reasons to love Saturdays. For me, these videos are one them. They always make me want to get out there and hit some balls!
Another great lesson your videos have brought my golf on so much. Never overcomplicated easy to remember tips by far the best coach on YouTube thanks so much 👏👏👏
This is a fantastic dril to find your low point in an easy and natural way. Top notch Danny absolutely top notch. 👏👍🎩
Great lesson Danny! Thanks
Thanks Danny, great instructional video as always..
Great video Danny! I'm almost there! I've been trying half backswings lead hip going forward my ball then divots and smooth ball flight! Thank you Danny!😲☺️☺️☺️😉
Hi Danny, this could be the missing piece of the jigsaw. As usual Thank You 😅
Yep, I was so focused on turning the right hip pocket around that there was no flow and snap. The weighted bag is a great training aid! Thanks Danny, as always.
Your lessons go against everything I was taught back in the 80’s. Since I’ve started practicing your tips, my ball striking has improved exponentially. Now to work on my alignment and distance since my ball striking improved.
You always make it look so simple. Nicely done!
Simply put, brilliant!
Great tip in this video
Having people tell me “you swayed a bit” after a slight miss hit has messed me up more than any other “issue” ive had. Once its in your(my) head i inevitably start to “ correct” it after any miss at all ..and this is where it goes completely off the rails for a bit .
This motion is very natural in a pendulum but starting it from a standstill is so hard.
I can’t grasp the concept of release. Also does the release change with club selection I.e., wedges, mid long irons and driver. Thanks
How is this different than the dreaded slide ?
So, what are the bad shots should we expect when starting this? Without knowing this some could get discouraged.
Great Video Danny – I struggle with this move, hopefully this lesson will get my weight to transfer properly.
I love these simple little bites of information, rather than having to try to fix everything all at one time. I find myself enjoying playing the game so much more as I understand the mechanics of what I am doing, or should be doing.
Just got back from 9 hole round. Applied your advise and had the best feel and result in months. You are the best. Many thanks!
Priceless! Makes so much sense. I have tried to stop the sway and that is killing my distance!
