Use This Incredible 5-Second Drill To Hit Your Irons Longer

You don’t need a longer swing to hit the ball further — this simple golf tip shows you how.

Most golfers think distance comes from a long backswing, but in this lesson Danny Maude shows you how a short backswing can actually help you create more power, strike your irons better, and hit driver longer — all through simple, natural movements that make the golf swing easier to repeat.

Danny has just worked with a student who added 20–30 yards without touching the length of his swing, and in this golf lesson Danny walks you through exactly what changed. If you struggle with inconsistent ball striking, lack of distance, or feel like your golf swing is too “arm-driven,” this video will really help.

You’ll learn:

* How to build effortless power with a shorter swing
* A setup adjustment that immediately improves strike
* A simple rhythm drill that transforms your golf swing
* How to let the body and club work together instead of fighting each other

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 many times have you been told that 
if you want to hit the golf ball further, you’ve got to swing longer? It really doesn’t 
have to be true. In this golf lesson, I want to share with you two simple golf tips that if you 
do them, you will hit every single club longer. In fact, I’ve just come off a lesson with 
Brian where we basically kept his very, very short swing and we were able to increase his 
club head speed and his power that added almost 20 to 30 yards in absolutely no time at all with 
no loss of accuracy. Now, of course, once we got that going, Brian was like, “Can I go longer?” 
I said, “Yes, of course you can. But let’s just enjoy this. Let’s nail this first and then we’ll 
build it up.” I want to share it with you, too, because look, we all could do with a few extra 
yards. Before I get into the golf video, look, if you’re new to the channel, it’s one of your first 
lessons of mine, please consider subscribing. I release golf 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 a free downloaded practice guide in the description box below. So, I’m really 
excited to share this with you because I think what you’re going to find is what I’m about to 
share won’t just help you hit the ball longer and straighter. It’s going to help every single 
club in your bag. Literally, every single one. So, let’s start off with uh what I shared with 
Brian initially, right? So, you’ve got a short golf swing and you want to hit it the golf 
ball longer without necessarily going further. Well, you need to make your current swing far far 
more efficient. And most of the time what you see with players is they have a different faults, 
right? So they have some people are too handsy, some people too armsy, but they have a range 
of faults. But all of them can disappear quite quickly by doing one thing or being aware of one 
thing. So when you set up to a golf ball, you’ll notice here as I’m set up to this golf ball here, 
I’m bent over. Right? Now the problem is is a lot of people, and Brian was the same, this is he was 
trying to stay over the golf ball so that he would improve the quality of his strike. So he’s keeping 
his eye on the ball, he’s staying over the golf ball. The problem is is when you stay over the 
golf ball in this way, you can’t swing longer. And what happens is your body doesn’t move very well. 
You become quite handsy and armsy. Right now, what we need to do, we need to figure out, we 
need to learn how to move this body so that you can still have a nice short swing, but now it’s 
far more powerful. Right now, what have I done? Well, here I’m stood over and I’m just bent over. 
Notice what I do here. Something’s changed. Now, it’s hard to see when you look on camera, which 
is why most people miss it. I’m actually leaning to my left a little bit towards the target. I’m 
actually standing up a little bit and my chest is starting to as opposed to just facing the ground 
is starting to face upwards and it’s keeping to if I was to complete my swing it would actually 
start to imagine it’s almost going to face the sky. Right? What this does when you start to 
move in this way naturally is it provides room for the arms and the hands to move into. What 
you’re also doing is you’re activating your bigger muscles which are going to be the help for 
your power. So, I haven’t got a long swing here, but what I’ve done is I’ve created a much more 
powerful swing versus one that’s cramped. So, how can you easily achieve this without thinking 
about all these positions? Really simple. All you do is you get yourself set and I want you to 
imagine your best buddy is calling your name behind you. And all I want you to do is look over 
your troll shoulder like this and look for them. And what this does, your body naturally responds, 
not by going like this, just keeping your posture, but then just turn over, look over your over your 
trail shoulder. Notice now how my body has moved beautifully around the corner and I set myself 
up in a beautifully powerful way to deliver this golf club compared to one where we’re here. And 
then what people do, I’ve got to swing longer. They either lift to swing longer, pull their arms 
back, swing longer, get wristy to swing longer, as opposed to look at this, look over your trail 
shoulder, move my head back down, and here we go. We’re in a great position. That’s what I want you 
to start with. It’s super super cool. Let me show you from this angle really quickly. All I’m doing 
here, look, is this. I’m not staying like this. I’ve got no space. That’s going to force me to 
lift to go longer or bend my wrist to go longer. But if I just imagine someone’s going to call my 
name over my shoulder, watch this beautiful turn. My body’s naturally, it feels like it’s almost 
leaning backwards a little bit. This is helping. This leaning backwards feels like, look how much 
further my arms can go. Yeah, I’ve now got more power, more space. I am ready now to move. So, 
how do you train this? Get yourself set. Do a couple of exercises initially. Look over your 
trail shoulder. Move your head back down. You’ll notice my head is slightly angled. It should be. 
Most top players are. I’m looking almost at the ball in my corner of my eyes here. But that is 
a great place to start with. That is all you do. Get yourself set. Do a couple of rehearsals. 
One, two. Imagine that feeling. And then go. Simple as that. So build that into your motion. 
Right. So that’s the first step in creating power. Make sure that you’re moving the body efficiently 
by learning the feel of how to do that by putting your head over your trail shoulder, move your 
head back, and then try to replicate that kind of feeling to make that body work efficiently. 
That is super super important. But the next stage is it’s not always easy to explain what I’m going 
to do on video, but I really have to because it if you can understand this and if you do this 
with me, it’ll be even better. It will make such a big difference to every single club in 
your bag. It really does. And so if you got it, pause the video, grab a club, and let me do this 
with you right now. So you hold a club like this. And this is what I gave Brian. I wanted him to 
experience what effortless power is, right? And it’s like a rhythm, right, that the body connects 
to. And the first thing in the way to do this is to let the club swing backwards and forward. 
So you have basically a lump of metal swinging, right? I then said to him, Brian, now when you 
do this, increase the momentum. What am I doing to do this? And he did it as well. I’m going 
upwards. And there’s a timing to this, isn’t it? If I did it here, it wouldn’t be rhythmical. 
If I went down, that wouldn’t be right. Notice to accelerate this club here, I’m actually going up. 
Now I said now add the body into this. What would the body do? Feel it. Down and up. Down, up, 
down, up. And there’s a timing to the body that starts to connect with the club. It’s not easy 
to explain on camera, but it’s a feeling that you which if you can learn this, it will be amazing 
for your power. So once Brian did a few of them, I just got him to hold a golf club, feel the 
weight of it, and then what I did, I said, “Look, start to swing it. First of all, swing 
the mass and then imagine that mass increasing in momentum just like you did earlier around the 
ball. Start slow.” What do you see compared to? Very different, isn’t it? static body. 
Swing the mass. Notice how my body is working to accelerate this club. It’s 
almost a moving upwards through impact, isn’t there? Let’s have a look at this in 
action. So, we start really small. This is what we did with a very short swing to start 
with. This is what’s going to generate speed versus push, stay still, those kind of 
things. So, develop that rhythm first. Just a chip down the middle, right? 
Nothing more. Just a chip. And then what you do is you feel this. And then you 
can gradually without any extra real effort, your body starts to respond just like 
it did here to start accelerating this club. Can you see the rhythm in this? 
Watch the rhythm disappear in a second. See how my body’s not working with 
the club anymore? Now it is. Yeah. So, you start to connect with that. And then 
again, look, with a very, very short motion, you can start to hit the ball longer and longer. 
And then all I do is is once I’ve made this motion here really efficient, which is what I 
did with Brian once we got him here working, then you can of course you can go longer if you 
want. But these two things you don’t need to rush them. Build the efficiency here in the swing and 
then really connect with the freedom in that golf club. Feel the mass and allow your body to work 
to accelerate this mass at the right time. It’s hard to explain on video, isn’t it? But when 
you do this, you will feel the club swinging and you’ll feel your body. There I go. That is how 
I swing. That is how I accelerate the golf club. It’s a liberating experience and that is what I 
gave Brian and in his own words and this is what I see with so many of my students when you do this 
it will feel unbelievably effortless it really will and you’ll start to have it in no time at all 
and by the way it works for everything just like chipping putting Brian was a bit handsy with the 
chipping and putting we got him in a sense same thing using that motion here look the shoulders 
moving giving himself space but he’s still Look, responding to the weight of the club. His body 
swings the club down and works upwards through impact. This is how you create the effortless 
motion. I really, really hope you give this a go. It’ll feel wonderful. If you enjoyed the 
video, give it a thumbs up, share it with a friend who you know could do with this. And if 
you’re new to the channel, make sure you press that subscribe button and the bell. If you’d like 
to see this drill, what I’m doing now, working on adding 50 yards to Adam’s driver, check this 
video out right here. We did a live lesson with exactly what I’m talking about. It was a belter. 
But until next week, have a wonderful golfing
