Imagine if I told you that you could gain 20 accurate yards with a golf swing shorter than your current one…Well in this week’s golf lesson you are going to see how Danny Maude is adding 20, 30, 40 and sometimes 50 yards to golfers in a single session with a super short backswing.

At the start of the video he shows you the two key things you need to know to improve your contact whether that be with your iron swing or driver swing. As he says “there’s no point trying to gain distance if you haven’t first got a consistent strike”

Once you have the strike you will have already gained some yards but then it gets interesting. To get you to hit the ball longer Danny gets you to do it with NO Backswing. The results are crazy. Check it out here 👇

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

So if you want to be a consistently great ball 
striker with every club in the bag, you need to recognize that the golf swing is an arc. It 
starts down here. It works on an arc around our body. It comes back down on on on an arc and then 
comes through and then we rotate through on this arc. Now what most people are aware, certainly was 
my experience this week with my students is your right arm, your trail arm is so so important and 
most people don’t know how to move it correctly. They don’t even know where it’s supposed to 
start. Without knowing this, it makes it very, very difficult to create this consistent arc 
in your golf swing. In this golf lesson, what I want to do is I want to share with you where this 
trail arm is supposed to start in your golf swing, how it folds to get to the top. And then really, 
really important, which is what all great golfers do, know what you’re supposed to do on the way 
down. So, the club’s in a great spot here so you can rotate beautifully on the ball. create that 
beautiful strike and naturally hit the ball more consistently. That’s what I want to cover in 
this video. And it works. Whatever we do here, it will help you hit driver straight and strike 
your fairway woods. So, I can’t wait to share it with you. Before I do, though, look, if you’re new 
to the channel, it’s one of your first lessons of mine. Please consider subscribing. I release 
videos just like this one 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 downloadable 
practice guide in the description box below. So, if you’d like to start hitting more consistent 
golf shots like that with your irons, with your fairway woods, and with your driver, it’s really 
important to get control over your trail arm, my right arm, in the golf swing. So, how do all 
great ball strikers move this trail arm? So, so valuable. Well, the key is this. This trail 
arm for them is basically maintain. It’s always in front of the body here. This would be to the 
side. This would be behind. Yeah. Like this. This is no good where the trail arm look is in front of 
the body almost in front of my my trail hip like this. What this does is when we get to impact, it 
helps us to keep the shaft slight leaning forward here. It helps us to compress golf shots off the 
ground. It also like almost like throwing a ball. It is a very powerful way to hit a shot. If we 
start to get like this position here where this the club gets ahead and the arm starts to drift 
outwards and away from our bodies here almost behind our bodies, that’s when we start to kind 
of unfortunately lose your strike. You lose your direction and you lose a huge amount of power. 
So, what I’d like to do now is show you how you can naturally start to get this trail arm into 
the correct place much much more consistently. So the first thing I want you to do is make sure 
at least that you’re starting with your trail arm in the correct place. A lot of people, you know, 
just naturally don’t do this. So a lot of players this week I see where this trail arm here was 
almost the elbows angled outwards this way. And when you do that, the problem is is now suddenly 
the elbow already at the start of your swing. Look, is almost to the side of your body. Make 
sure look you turn your arm like you’re almost giving blood here. So the elbow starts to point 
more downwards. And look, it’s moving closer to your body. Then turn the hand to grip the golf 
club. If you do that, now your trell arm right at the start is in front of your body. Fantastic. 
The next thing is to then, well, how do you keep it there throughout the entire golf swing? Well, 
this drill really, really helps my students. So, I get them to hold their tricep, right? And what 
I’m doing is I’m pinning the tricep to the body so that this the elbow here does not move. 
It stays exactly here. Most players allowing this elbow to drift to the side of their body and 
drift behind them. Every time you do that, watch what’s happening. That’s right. The arms moving 
to the side. Now we’re into flick territory. We’ve got to figure out how we keep that elbow much 
closer in the same place every time so that we can create the strike we talked about. So hold 
the tricep, make a few goal swings. And notice here my elbow’s not moving whatsoever. And what do 
you notice about the what my right arm is doing? It’s not going backwards at all. It’s almost 
just working up, isn’t it? Upwards up. It’s just going vertical upwards. And what happens on 
the way down? He just pretty much goes vertically downwards. This is the role of your right arm 
in the golf swing. And it’s vital you kind of understand this. The role is to take the club 
here. We get the swing backwards and forwards. The right arm is rolling to take the club 
upwards. What our bodies do is take the club around. You see that? I’m in a great position 
here. That club has moved around the corner, not because of anything I’ve done with my 
right arm, but because I’ve moved my body. Now, this is the next stage, which is hugely important. 
From this position, what do you notice about my trellam? It’s underneath the golf club. My right 
wrist here is almost bent back a little bit here. Again, supporting the club almost like a little 
waitress tray to a certain degree. Okay. Now, this is important because look, it means that when 
I come into impact, as I move this back down into impact here, as I move this down, as I’m coming 
through and I rotate, I’ve still got, look, this arm in front of my body and I’ve still got a nice 
angle here to really compress the shot. I haven’t thrown those angles away. If I pull my arm behind 
me now, suddenly, if I brought the the club down, you can see I’m in a really, really poor position. 
So, how can you go go about working on this? So, super simple. And I’ve got two drills that will 
give and you can do them in the comfort your own home just to learn the feel of this. Well, we 
said, look, you’ve got to start first of all with the elbow in the correct place so it’s in front of 
your body. The next thing, as we said, hold your tricep, lock that joint in here, so it can’t move 
side to side, right? So that you get the feeling as you swing the club freely. I’m not trying to 
hold on to any angles here. My wrists are relaxed, my arms relaxed, and I’m getting the feeling here 
of how the club or my arm or the rotates around that elbow joint, right? It’s just working up and 
down. There’s no such thing as this. And this is what my students struggle with. They often try to 
cheat this when we do it by dragging it around. Please, please, please lock it in position. Do 
it in front of a mirror to start with. Yeah. So, you can feel how this trail arm works. Then 
you can see here as you then turn, just get the sensation now. Look of look, I then moving this 
this way. I all my trail arm does it just simply just naturally unfolds down in front of my body. 
What then takes the club around is simply look the turn. And you can see here, look, I haven’t 
tried to drive my handle ahead. I haven’t tried to hold any angles. All I’m doing is allowing this 
to fall naturally. Add the rotation to this. And I’ve naturally got this kind of compression, all 
the powerful motions you want without even trying. Right? And that’s the goal I want you to want it 
to be super super simple. So start with that first motion. The second thing which my students love is 
the split hand exercise with this. Hold the club, split the hands. So there’s a good maybe your 
distance here what your trail hands on the on the side of the shaft. Now from here what I want you 
to do, you’ve now got the trail arm in front of your body. You make a swing here and you allow the 
arm. Now remember the arm is just simply folding upwards here this way. Right? Now from this 
position here, all I want you to do is fire that club straight down. Look back in front of your 
trail leg. So you’re gonna it’s basically up down. So you’re really feeling that trail arm back down 
in front of the leg. Why I love that from here all you’re going to do from this this position 
here is simply rotate onto the shot and you’ve got compression. At no stage am I trying to drive 
my hands forward, but I’m definitely not letting that trail elbow move out and create this kind of 
look here. So it’s a great way here to help you to feel how this trail elbow folds. Okay. Super super 
simple. Let’s grab this ball. I’m gonna hit a shot doing that. And then I’m going to show you really 
quickly what some of my students who don’t have the flexibility to completely keep this angle. If 
they don’t have that, which is probably half my students, I do something else. I’ll show you that 
in a second. So, let’s start this in action. I’ve got the feeling here, and this is how I’d work 
on this. Really sense that that trail elbow is going up, falling down. It’s almost like you see 
Justin Rose doing this motion here, falling down the body here, and then we’re rotating onto the 
shot. It’s really an up and down motion of the arm here and then just rotate beautifully onto 
the shot. It feels just really really simple. Just simple. I I feel I could repeat that over and 
over and over again. And that’s exactly what my students are saying. It feels simple. But if you 
don’t have if you don’t have the flexibility to keep this elbow in and the way to check this real 
simple hold your arms out in front of you here and you should be able with this trail side to get 
your elbow in front of your wrist here. Really important. Half my students can’t do this. They’ll 
be about uh they’ll be like this. So the question is if your elbow is like this and you can’t in in 
a sense keep this club like this and your elbow’s doing this. Don’t let the wrists push it this 
way. What you have to do is that’s fine. Leave it. You got to work with your flexibility. Just 
make sure you get the feeling look of the wrists pitching the club over this trail shoulder. So 
you’re going to keep the club planed like this with your wrists. Look at this here. Look. So, if 
you got elbows out here and because of flexibility and you feel like it’s a bit more there as opposed 
to underneath, not a problem. Just don’t let that flick it over here. Pitch the club with your wrist 
as you just felt there. Keep it there because now look, when you fire it down, even though the right 
elbow’s not in right right place, you’re still in great shape. Look, still to create compression. 
So, just to repeat that, this can cause this. Don’t let that happen. Simply just playing it with 
your wrist. you’re using your wrists instead to keep that club behind the hands so that you can 
create that feeling of compression. Super super valuable. So, understanding how this trail arm 
works, start off with it, well, understand how it folds and works the club up and down. And it’s 
the body look that takes the club around. Same on the way down. It’s the downward motion and 
unfolding of this trail arm and it’s ultimately the turning of the body that in a sense squares at 
the club face, the compression and the motion. And there’s no attempt to me to drive that handle 
forward. I am simply unfolding that position because I’ve I can do that because I’ve kept it 
in a great spot throughout the entire swing. This works for every single club in your bag. If you’d 
like to see almost me getting a lesson with this, something similar to this with with with one of 
the world’s number one c one of the world’s one of the best golf coaches in the world, Peak 
Cowan, check this video out right here. Over 4 million people have viewed it and it’s got an 
almost 99.9% positive rate. Incredible. Check it out here. If you’re new to the channel, press the

  1. I remember talking to you about that Cowan lesson and saying that many of us would need lots of help to interpret Pete’s description. This is a terrific translation and demonstration for the slow learners (I’m on the committee). We are indebted to you for your commitment to adding to our enjoyment of this greatest of games.

  2. Very good. It took me ages to work out how to do this and hit with power. Realised that as you rotated through impact you need the leading arm to go sharply around to release the club… Maybe another vid?

  3. Hello Danny, another amazing video. The golf swing is fairly simple and highly complex at the same time. Your explanations give us some light in the darkness of our frustration. 😊😊😊

  4. Giving blood? I've given enough to this game. Seriously, I can't reach the test external rotation of the right elbow/shoulder position and it's great to be given a senior fix. Time for me to stop tinkering and get down to some work this winter. You are not the only YouTuber I regularly watch but you are the most inspirational. How's your game, I think it's time we saw you at a Creator Classic. Thank you for another gem of a video.

  5. Love the video! This is what I’ve been working on. I wondered are you just pushing the lead leg backwards to start the downswing and let everything fall into place with the structure? Or actively straightening your trail arm in the swing?

  6. Really useful this. I've spent years having to manipulate stuff with my wrists instead of just letting the arm fold correctly.

  7. Think you’ve just given me ANOTHER ah ha moment! I often just wing my backswing with so many swing thoughts … am about to try this …. Wish me luck 😂 Thanks Danny and congrats on the 1.6m subs .. so well deserved 👏🏽⛳️

  8. Great stuff (as always), Danny
    A friend of mine calls this “T Rex arms” 😂 Jimmy Ballard called this “connection”, when the upper arm is tight against the torso, elbows IN … only the lower arm (from elbow to hand) moves

    The challenge is pointing the inside of the trail elbow outward AND then turning the right hand on top to grip the club (that’s not a natural move)
    I think a lot of us, mere mortals, let that trail elbow point outward (away from target) as we try to CLOSE the CLUBFACE 🙄

    But I’ve seen many videos lately stressing the importance of the TRAIL ELBOW in the golf swing.
    One of your best videos yet.
    Thanks 🙏🏻

  9. Thank you Danny. Question: what about the rotation of the lead arm during setup? The trail arm is externally rotated (giving blood). Does this mean the lead arm is internally rotated? If so, to what degree? Kind regards

  10. Thanks Danny
    Your videos have really helped my game this year. I was away with my pals playing 3 links courses up in Donegal this week and my ball striking was so much better than my trip last year. Much more consistency and therefore more satisfaction too. ⛳️😃

  11. Fantastic one here (as most of your vids are, but imo this one may be tops for swing). I have so many of your vids saved and keep telling myself I need to make a lesson plan out of them… but first after years will go to your site and get all the coaching you provide. Thanks from someone who's watched for years!

  12. "start" of right arm is dangerous. This ruins my face to path as I learned from your other video.

  13. Danny- excellent lesson. One question, I noticed if I focus on my elbow instead of my hands I get the drop versus a throw of the hands. Does that make sense? Elbow driving down to the side as you rotate and nice compression. With the hands they can throw too quick from the top?

  14. One important thing to add to this instruction: you mentioned, on the backswing the forearms rotate but it's the body that turns to take the arms and club to th top. Wonderful, but you should have said it's the rotation of the body that also brings the arms – and particularly the right arm – back to the area near the right hip, still fully cocked and loaded, to unleash the clubhead through the ball. There's no pulling down of the arms and hands in a consistent sequence – it's the correct movement of the body that achieves that for you!
    That apart, wonderful video supremely presented👍👍😊

  15. I trained myself pretty well to keep my trail arm tucked but I don’t realize it was an issue until about a week ago. This video came at a great time for me. Tucking my elbow was better but it wasn’t in front of me. As a beginner that loses nearly every drive, I have hit a par and a birdie on my last two par 3s. Danny has made a massive difference for me. Thank you sir

  16. Great instructional video Danny… love doing this with my irons… for some reason, however, I'm not as successful with my driver and woods… think it is a mental block I have with longer clubs… just need to keep working on that move to arrive at success! You have a viewer from Las Vegas that loves your clear and concise videos!!! Doc R 🎉

  17. Danny, this is a great lesson. Yours is the only YouTube channel I watch for swing instruction because of your consistency, simplicity of explanation, and easy to use practice drills. This has been very helpful for me and my golf game.

  18. Did this drill yesterday with my swing coach, took a minute to get use to because I didn’t have that flexibility. But the strikes were much better and consistent

  19. Excellent video demonstration as always. Will give it a try regardless, I'm pretty stiff and rotation limited.

  20. Another great ,simple lesson Danny! Thanks 🙏
    I wonder if you can do a lesson on(if youve got anything in this regard) how to keep proper sequence when increasing swing speed..?
    At the range yesterday i was incorporating a lot of your stuff and was making MUCH better contact while eliminating the banana ball turning right .the problem is when i try and “speed” things up . …Then its all over the place ,thinned ,fatted, hook/slice, high /low ,pulled ,pushed you name it i hit the fault … if i slow it all back down i get it back … maybe im asking for too much as i am not able to practice daily and dont want to spend $20 a day on bucket of balls anyways ,especially if im not able to get the flight i want lol.. by the time i hit 6-10 balls per club ,with extra balls when i struggle on some clubs , ive worked through a large basket …in that regard i think when working on this (making better contact etc ) i’ll stick with 2-4 clubs of varying lengths .like a short wedge,a mid iron ,long iron and a wood/ driver for ball position and distance from ball instead of going from a 60* to driver a club at a time …?

  21. Thanks for the tip/drill on how to keep the right arm in front of the chest during the swing. It is one thing to get it in position at setup, but another to keep it there through the swing. That should be a helpful drill to repeat and practice to make a part of the swing.

    Is it really an issue of flexibility for some of your students not being able to get it in the give blood position at address? It would be one thing if the person had been in some kind of accident and arm or shoulder above it didn't heal correctly, but other than that by far the vast majority of people should be able to move into that give blood position. Maybe they need to have other variables eliminated to experience it.

    Standing or sitting up straight with nothing in the hands (taking away the address position, and taking away the club). Maybe someone else could neutralize the shoulder position (set back to the side of the torso, not pulled forward in front of the chest – out of the socket. Not slumped forward shoulders and upper back).

    Then softly externally rotate their arm into the correct position, so that they can feel what the correct shoulder, elbow, and arm positions feel like (so that they can recreate the feel). Telling someone a position to get in a position, and them not doing it properly could be a lack of understanding and a flaw of interpretationon their end. Showing them like you do should make it easier, and then finally putting them in that position (while eliminating other variables that could resist or counter it, ike improper internal shoulder rotation, and providing a feel of what's correct might be more helpful).

  22. Thanks D. Could you share some tips about once you hit the ball, especially the wrist after impact and the path of the club? I took a lesson where they made me think that I was lifting the club up a flat wall? That the illusion to us watching is that club is coming around the body, yet it’s really coming up over our heads. Could use some help here.
