Ever wondered how great golfers hit the golf ball longer with what seems to be a slower more effortless golf swing? In this golf lesson Danny Maude reveals how you can learn to hit all your golf clubs longer by swinging slower.
Effortless power in the golf swing isn’t about swinging harder; it’s about swinging smarter. Good gofers achieve remarkable distances with what appears to be a slower, smoother, easy golf swing. The secret lies in not rushing your downswing. To do this you need to learn how to feel the correct rhythm of the swing. PGA Tour players look smooth and effortless because of the way they time their swings whereas amateur golfers look like they are trying really hard but struggle to gain any extra distance.

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
How often do you see great players, whether on TV or at your local club, and they are hitting the ball a long way with what feel looks like that they’re not even trying, yet you are putting everything into it. You feel like you’re trying really hard. You even feel a bit rushed in that down swing and you’re not getting any yardage. What I’m going to show you in this video, I’m going to show you how the best players develop this kind of effortless look in their swing. So, I’m going to show you how you can create a lovely rhythmical swing, one that doesn’t feel rushed. It feels calm, elegant, and smooth. So, you still got that control, but creates effortless distance for you, effortless power. Okay? It’s a lovely feeling when you get it. I can’t wait to share it with you. Before I do, though, if you’re new to the channel, your first lessons of mine, please consider subscribing. I release videos 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 a free download or practice guide in the description box below. So, I’m really excited to share this lesson with you. I I just love it because it’s so natural. It feels so good. And by the time you finished, you’re going to hopefully get what my students get out of this, which is the feeling like they are not really trying. They does it doesn’t make sense that the ball’s going that far with what feels like half the effort they’re putting in before. But it does require a bit of practice. Okay. Um, so let me start with there’s two steps to this. Let me start with step one. I’m going to show you how to develop that sensation first and how the body’s moves in a really rhythmical way compared to this kind of way where you get here and it really feels like you’re trying really hard but you’re not getting any distance. So, where do we start with this? I’m going to grab a bag. Okay. Now, if you are regular to my channel, you’ll see me use this before, but I’m gonna don’t have a few alterations with this. So, I’ve got a bag here that probably wears around about 10 pounds. You can use a bag of shopping. You can use anything, right? But this for me is one of the simplest things that anybody can do to really feel how to organize their golf swing in such a way that provides rhythm and timing without having to think of lots of body positions and swing positions. Right? Then I’ll show you how you can transfer this very easily to things like your irons and your driver. So what I do is I grab a bag here and I hold it with my palms facing towards you. And I do actually hold it my golf stance. So notice this. This is important. When I stand forward now, you’ll notice my arms hanging directly downwards in front of me. Most golfers, without realizing, they’re kind of stretched out here. They’re stiff. If they were to let their arms hang, they’d be down by their sides. So, we put our bodies in a position where our arms can hang very naturally. Now, all I’m going to do here now is this. I’m going to get that bag swinging towards you. And I want to create some momentum on this back swing like this. And I’m going to do it in a really kind of m quick way. Creates momentum. Now, I’m not swinging this with my arm. This is really important. Most golfers when they’re swinging, they’re trying to swing here. That’s what feels lots of effort. What I’m doing here, using my legs, I am tossing this bag in a straight line. Look, towards you. Now, what do you notice with the transition from my back swing to my down swing? It’s very calm, isn’t it? It’s effortless. It’s smooth. Why? Watch again. Look. Can you see? It’s like there’s a real rhythm to that. Now, what do I normally see with golfers who are putting lots of effort in? They look more like this. Can you see the difference? When you go slow on the way back, all the effort then needs to go on the way through for me to throw this. But when I just create rhythm, like this bag has a life of its own. What else you notice? I feel like I’m moving a hell of a lot to my right and then to my left. But what do you see on camera? You should probably see my body staying quite central and under under control, yet I’m feeling like I’m using pressure to swing right and swing left. So, I really feel like I’m dynamic here, which is giving me the feeling that I’m putting lots of effort in. But what you are probably seeing is a rhythmical effortless motion. When I feel like it’s effortless, it actually has no rhythm and therefore no power. So, what I want you to do once you’ve done that a few times, what I get my students to do, and I often get them to give a carry something like this in the in the boot of their car just before they go, what we’re going to do now is we’re going to start to get some energy going into your back swing. Because when we can get the club swinging away with a bit of momentum, what your body does, it can feel the momentum of the club going this way. So, naturally, look, automatically goes forward. This keeps the transition slow and relaxed. And then from here, it throws the club forward. We’ll show what you do with your arms in step two, but right now, I just want you to help organize the body. Slower players who feel like they’re trying really hard, they look more like this. They swing to the back swing almost like they’re stopping and then they just heave it on the way through. They really rush their down swing. But here, notice this. There is no rush. You can see it’s like a one and two, one and two, one and two. It’s like a speedy on the way back. One and two, one and two versus one or more one, two. That would be another way of looking at it. Right? So, we’re trying to sense that rhythm. Grab something heavy, get that sensation, and then begin to alternate between throwing the bag and a golf club. And what I’ll often do with players to start with, I say, don’t worry about the follow through. To start off with, let’s just focus on getting the arm hang here. So, we’re not stood like this forcing this position. We’ll let our arms hang. Then, what I’m going to do is I’m going to throw the bag. Imagine throwing the bag or this golf club directly towards you. Now, I really feel I have to get my legs kind of ready and I’m dynamic to do that. And you’ll see with the players, they’ll see them often moving. They are dynamically moving this club away. But on camera, it just looks beautifully smooth and effortless. Okay. So, feel that momentum. I’m rear. One, one and two. One and two. It’s not one, two. That is a very different rhythm. So, let’s start with an iron and then we’ll move to a driver and then we’ll move to step two. This is stage one in getting that rhythm. I’ll just move that back actually while we do this. Okay. So, get myself set. I notice this. I can’t stay static here. I’m going to have to really feel like I’m going to get some momentum into this golf club in this direction. Not around here. Up there. Just right back towards you. And notice it wasn’t swaying, was it? There. Let’s get some momentum straight back in that direction. Beautifully simple. Now watch this here. Comfortably 91.2 mph club head speed. Did that look quick to you? I don’t feel but I feel there some energy in that golf swing there. When I got that club going back, it wasn’t Come on, Danny. Nice and controlled back like this. There’s always instinct. There’s always energy going into the golf swing. I need you to feel that. So, quickly go back to the bag, get yourself set. I’ll get people on the car park doing this for the round. So, you go create that swing first. Can you create momentum? Feel what your body’s doing in the lower body. I’m not doing this with my arms. They’re very passive. Throw it. Once you’ve done that bit, you almost get the down swing. Look for free. One, two. And you’ll notice, look, on the way down, when I throw this bag forward, is my head going this way? No, that’s the biggest killer of speed. This bag naturally doesn’t. You just never You’ll never do it. You’ll always technically look so much better when you throw a bag because look, one, as I throw this bag here, it’s I hang on to the bag, I let the club in reality fly miles through. And what I’m doing is I’m increasing the speed of the head while I naturally stay back here versus this way. One, that’s the rush swings. That’s when you feel like you’re putting loads of energy in here. Here, swing the bag here. My body reacts and then as I’m coming through, look, it goes forward and then I swing it through. Notice this. I in my head naturally stays back here which allows the club to speed up and that’s what gives that silky smooth effortless looking motion. So I get myself set nice and dynamic in my legs. There’s the bag. Swing that bag away. One and two. Simple as that. Okay. 92.4 miles an hour now worth of club head speed. So once you’ve got that sensation and by the way it takes practice this develop it be patient with it but just really see what the bag the bag’s the one of the greatest trainers you can get out there and it’s free just a bag of shopping will do now a lot of students when they do this they still want to understand how to control the club face. So what I’ll then do and this is again a super super simple thing you could do even before a golf shot on the golf course. Hold the club out in one hand. We’ll do both hands in a second but just in my trail hand here. And as I’m getting myself set up, notice how there’s a little bit of shafting. Just move this out the way so you can see there’s a little bit of shaffling. And you’ll notice my trail elbows just kind of almost like I’m giving blood to you here. Now, all I’m going to do is I’m going to let the club swing back over my troll shoulder. And then all I’m going to do now is just imagine the club just falling back down to return back to that place there. So, it’s one, two. Now, as I do this, notice this. I feel the club head always stairs look behind my hands very naturally because of my intention to bring the club back to there. If I was to do what most people do, let’s say come over the top. I will that’s just a just a completely different position. If I’m somebody who in a sense casts the club, that’s going to be me flicking it here. I mean, I’m in completely the wrong position, too. So, here it’s just a simple drill. Get myself set here. Handle slightly ahead. Elbow in position. Swing back. I feel the club just fall down there. And that’s a simple practice swing that I could do each time. I really feel the club naturally as a byproduct of my intention to get back to here. Would never in a million years go this way. It stays behind my hands and falls down. I do exactly the same here with my lead side. Look, my arm is just hanging down in front of me here. And all I’m going to do, look, is sling the club back now towards you. Sling it back with that momentum we’ve just worked on. And I’m back into impact here. And notice as I do this, notice here, look how I’m slinging the club. My body doesn’t go like this or like this. All I’m doing, the arm’s hanging. I sling momentum. I get back to that impact position here. Where’s my left shoulder naturally going? It goes up because I’m slinging the club this direction. my body naturally stays more centered because I am swinging the weight of a golf club just like we do with the bag. So now we hold the both uh both hands on the golf club. And to start with it just feels like a very long putt where I’m slinging it back straight back here, back here and through. One, two. And you’ll notice my body’s naturally turning without me even trying to turn it because it has to do. Right? So again, dumb rehearsals, create some momentum. One, two. Let’s keep I’ll count this one down. Really smooth this off. But I’m really feel here. This instinctively happens because of my intention to really get some energy into the back swing. The more energy I create here, the more smoother that transition becomes in the down swing. Very, very natural. Don’t want what it look like to you, but again, I feel like I’ve got a lot of energy going into that golf club there. I feel like there’s some energy in my feet traveling that away, but I bet it looks really, really smooth. So, that is how I create rhythm in the golf swing. Use a simple training like that. Create that sensation. And then what we’ll do is I’ll show you how this works with a driver next week. Um, but in the meantime, I also use uh tools like towels as well to kind of help create this motion here. Check this video out right here to do this. This is one of the most important things you can do. It feels great if you’re willing to put in the time and patience to create that rhythm in your golf swing. It feels like you’re giving up control when you do this. This is really important. That’s what our students say. But you get control back in abundance. The more you try to control the club, the less power you have and actually the less control you actually have on the golf club. All right, so if you enjoy this video, give it a thumbs up. Maybe share it with one of your friends. Check this video out right here with a towel and join me next week where I’ll show you how this works with a driver, too. But until next week, have a wonderful golfing

Danny is the BEST!!!❤
this maybe your best tip yet!!
I've always heard that the backswing – downswing has a 3:1 ratio.
I'v been working on tempo and this is really helpful, thanks Danny!
This is one of the reasons I love Saturday mornings… I look forward to these all week and practice accordingly. My play is improving consistently and naturally, my enjoyment of the game.
Danny, I am a subscriber here and a member of your channel and am extremely grateful for your insights and instruction.
Thank you, another great video! Do you recommend keeping your hands and left elbow soft during the swing to keep tension out of the swing? Thanks again!
Let's freaking go 😎🏌️
Love this! I’m always trying to lock in to more momentum…Danny, would you say you feel the momentum starts from your feet before the club swings back?
Perfect timing! Had no idea I was rushing my downswing so badly and why I was losing distance until a friend pointed it out and gave me some help- and holy cow! It’s been a few weeks- went to the range yesterday and totally tanked and was frustrated. Going into winter training now and this stuff is perfect for helping me fix it (hopefully) over the next few winter months! Thank you Danny!
i love the bag lesson.Along with the towel,and one of the best was look behind you.Really helps with shoulder turn.And the pinch the zip is my new thought.And you can see that in this video,with the bag lesson…Thanks Danny
I use a dumbbell and it really teaches weight shift. 👍👍❤️
Excellent Danny. Well done.
Great lesson! Swinging an Orange Whip, or similar, works like the bag for me.
That bag feeling is great
I've struggled with my driver. Some days a slight fade, another day a big fade, other days a couple of duck hooks, drives me nuts.
I'm pretty sure that my downswing is mainly driving thru the ball but when change things to try and get the face square on impact I hook it badly.
I'll give your heavy bag practice swing a go…. Thanks
Great video as always but I tend to move slower on my back swing because I feel I have more control on the downswing,so do you think I should be speeding up my backswing?
This works (Thanks Danny ) , but there is a down side….. if like me who in the past has been a short hitter, not only do your shot go further and straighter with this method, but I now have to adjust me game when I play….example 7 iron used to go normally 134yds , now 148 – 152 👍…. this Pendulum Effect is aamazing!
On the range I tend to swing smoothly like you Danny, but on the course I often turn into Chris Farley in Tommy Boy, attacking that roll in the diner. 🤦
Thanks for the video.
10 mins in was about to comment about losing club face, but you beat me to it 👍🏼✌️
GREAT LESSON! 👏 👍 😎 ⛳
Danny, I discovered this a few months back and it changed my swing tremendously for the better. The backswing is not rushed or overly fast, but it is faster than I previously used to do. Amazingly, the body and arms will naturally move in the right sequence, timing and rhythm without you having to think about it. Strikes will be closer to the sweet spot, and distance will improve. It’s not a magic bullet or quick fix, but it’s damn close. Thanks for the reminder, all viewers will benefit from this drill. I, personally, do the drills 4-5 times a week. cheers .
Great video. Life has had me very busy so I hadnt been able to swing a club for a while. I lost the feeling of my golf swing’s rhythm . Lesson looks like it will dramatically improve rhythm and balance, help me get back to where I was. hopefully past that point to reach my next goal of breaking 80. Another great video
Very good
Another great lesson Danny! 🥰
This jives with my singular swing thought: "slow is smooth, smooth is far…"
Excellent Danny……Thank You!!!
this guy is good
Excellent video !!!
Such a good video lesson Danny, thanks so much. I’ll definitely be working on this 👌🏼 Tempo is king
I have to catch myself sometimes when I am trying to smash it down the fairway and wonder why the ball is not in the fairway. 😁 This week I just made an effort for a nice easy, even tempo swing and hit 12 of 14 fairways,
I am all for tempo but as you come into impact you do something FAST to add the speed. I couldn't follow what you are doing to generate the speed, but it is NOT nearly the same as your smooth demo swings..
Danny get some sun on those legs.😂
So the left side becomes the fulcrum point?
I have been trying for some time to improve my distance, at 41 days from my 77th birthday I have found your rhythm method would be beneficial for my broken body. We are playing on the blue course much shorter and I'm finding length "allows" me to swing well with in myself
