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!

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 often do you grab your driver, your stood 
on the tee, and every so often you hit driver straight down the middle of the fairway, but 
sometimes you just hit it left or you hit it right and you feel like you’ve done exactly the 
same golf swing, but you just don’t know what’s going on. How do you learn to hit driver straight 
consistently? Well, I want to stop you doing what a lot of my students come to me with with drowning 
in lots of different golf swing tips that may or may not work because there’s one principle that 
works every single time. And if you learn this principle, I absolutely promise you, you will 
have the tool, the tool, one tool to help you hit driver straight on a more consistent basis. 
Let’s get into the golf lesson now. Let me show you what that is and how you can go about putting 
it into every single club. Not just your drive, but every single shot you hit. And that principle 
is face to path. What is face to path? Well, if you slice a golf ball, what’s actually 
happening is your face is aiming in one direction and your path is aiming in another 
direction. So if you slice it, for instance, the face will be aiming for me as a righthander 
to the right and my club path will be heading to the left. If I do this for instance, okay, this 
is what tends to happen. And what you’ll start to see is a ball that slices off to the right 
of the target. Now, if you hook the golf ball, the opposite’s true. The face of the golf 
club is aiming to the left of the path. So, the path is going in one direction and the club 
face is aiming left of where that’s going. And if we do that, this is what tends to happen. 
and you’ll start to see a different shape. So, if you’d like to learn how to hit driver straight 
more consistently, you’ll need to learn how to feel how to control that face the path. And the 
great thing for you is is it can mostly be done before you’ve even taken the club back just at 
setup. So, I had a student of mine uh this week, Tina, and she sliced it really badly. We fixed the 
first a path very very quickly just in setup and she started hitting going from these kind of sky 
shots shots pulling left shots slicing right to these laser straight drives more importantly. What 
a drive. She felt it. She felt the difference and that’s what you’re going to get today. So let’s 
do this together. I’m going to show you a slice setup, a hook setup and then the setup which is 
perfect so you can feel it. So most people that slice are completely unaware of this. So, put 
your arms out like this for a second. Okay. Now, our arms can the palms can turn down 
and everything can turn this way. So, you see my elbows, my elbows can point down to 
the ground or they can point out to the side. When a slicer setup setup, I’ll spit it out in a 
second. When a slicer sets up to the golf ball, this is what I see 99% of the time. The elbow at 
setup is pointing down to the ground and they grip the golf club like this. Then they put their trail 
hand on and the elbow is pointing out to the side. They look at the face and you go, “Well, Danny, 
that’s straight.” It is, but the problem is my trail arm is higher than my lead arm. If I put 
this club down to the ground now, and I see this all of the time. You should be able to see my 
left arm, my lead arm underneath my left. What you’re seeing now is my forearms misaligned. My 
forearms are aiming in this direction where the face is aiming in this direction. So, where’s 
the face? It’s pointing right of my path. Watch this. I’m going to make a shot. Now, if just 
do a normal golf swing, watch what happens. Watch this. What is my face to path? My face to 
path is 13.3 degrees open. And I’ve just hit a massive slice. Massive slice. All because 
of my setup. So, how do we correct this? You simply reverse it. So, what we’re going 
to do for a second now is this. We’ll find a balance. What I did with Tina was this. Take your 
arms out. Tina, we’re going to swap these around. You had this and this. What we’re going to do now 
is reverse this. We’re going to turn this on top and this underneath. Right. Then we’re going to 
hold the golf club. One. Two. We reversed it. This would be probably too much, but we’re 
going to do that first. So, you can feel the difference between these two. So, now look 
at this. You can see a face that’s square, but now if you look down the line, what 
do you notice? You now see my left hand, my lead hand above my trail hand. So, now I 
have a path that is working what direction? Out to the right. This is a feeling 
that I want you to create. So again, I’m going to do exactly the same swing I’ve 
just done on the previous one, but because of my first path is already close at setup, we 
will see a ball that turns from right to left. And you can see here, look, my first path 
is closed and we get the movement right to left. So we don’t want either, do we? We don’t 
want to slice and we don’t want a hook. But now you know what you need to do in a really 
extreme cases to start to create both shapes. Now you can do that. And this is what I would 
definitely practice first. If you’re a hooker, go towards more the slice feeling. If you’re a 
slicer, move towards more the hooker feeling. So it’s really important that your body can feel 
those two movements because once it feels it, then what we can do, it’s like almost like an old 
radio. We can start to tune it. So how do you then learn to find something in between of that? 
Well, let’s again let’s imagine we’re slicing it. We’re going to turn that elbow feeling like 
it’s pointing outwards. But rather than have the whole hand now like this, which would be we call 
very short, that would be hook. All I’m going to do now is just turn my hand more this way. But 
my elbow has stayed the same. It make sense? My elbow’s still pointing there, but my hand is 
on the golf club. Slightly different. More turn this way. With my trail hand, I turn it flat. 
I don’t want to hold the club like this. So, I’m just going to bring the palm so it faces more 
the target. But where’s my elbow? Still still pointed to the ground. Now, what we’ve done, we’ve 
neutralized that forearm. So, it’s not nowhere near as much as this, but it is more neutral. This 
would give me now a much much straighter drive. And we can see there. Look at this. Now, suddenly 
my face to path is almost perfect. and we hit a lovely lovely straight drive. So that’s what you 
start with. Get really good first of all at this. There’s another step to come in a second so bear 
with me. But get good at the face to path. If you can control this, I I cannot tell you what it will 
do with your golf swing. If your face is open, for instance, if your face is open coming down, 
your face to path, you are going to have to do all kinds of weird stuff to try and square it. It 
destroys your swing. If your face path is good, it creates great looking golf swings. So 
that is stage number one. Just doing that, just that alone, I you will be amazed at what 
it does to your ball striking and your overall game. But one other thing, you’ve got your hands 
and arms. What about the body? Again, let’s keep this incredibly simple. How do we control the 
face to path? Not just with our hands and arms, but also your body, too. Super simple. Just 
imagine a dot here and a dot here. The more this upper dot here gets ahead of the lower dot, 
i.e. the middle of your uh pelvis, the more we’re into slice territory. Watch this. This would be 
now moving bit by bit to more hook territory like this. Look at this. Slice hook. Look at this 
from this angle. From here, look. Slice. You can see here. Look, that’s going to get me coming 
down and across to the left. Add the open face so that we hit a slice. Where’s the path going to 
go now? Well, if we line up the face here, look, and we start to get back here, that’s now moving 
towards hook territory. So, again, feel that. Hit some shots. By the way, don’t be shy of it. So 
for instance, if somebody slices the golf ball, I’m going to get them to imagine imagine that 
this upper center is always behind their lower center as they are swinging through the shot. 
So I almost imagine their head stays very much feels like almost behind the golf ball. Yeah. As 
they’re coming through the shot. Most slicers, they tend to move this way. So controlling 
that. So let’s look at this in action. So, if I get, for instance, my upper center 
head of my lower center, watch what happens. Yeah. So, watch this. We’re going to see 
a big slice face the path massively open because I’ve just done that. So, same principle. 
Let’s grab a tea. If I wanted to get reduce that with my body alone, all I would do is get 
the sensation. Feel it. This is where I want to be. Okay. Feel it, right? Okay. So, 
this is going to be if I slice the ball, feeling this exaggerated motion here. 
Combine that with this. And suddenly, now we’re going to quite struck that one, 
but it’s just me exaggerating. Suddenly, we’re going to be creating more of a hook style 
shot. But you can see here how to maneuver that and learn to feel the difference between 
those two is how you learn to control the face to path. Learn to control the face to path 
and you will be amazed at what it does to every single part of your game. More importantly, 
it’s going to save you thousands of hours practicing on random golf tips that probably 
won’t improve anything whatsoever. Look, I really, really hope you enjoyed this
