Don’t turn your shoulders in the golf swing if you want to hit driver longer…in fact ANY club longer. Golfer’s make this mistake all the time and you won’t just lose distance you will struggle to hit driver straight.
In this golf lesson Danny Maude reveals exactly how the shoulders work in the golf backswing AND downswing. Improving how you rotate in the golf swing enables you to do two things:
1. Store energy in the backswing
2. Release that energy at the perfect time at impact
What you will enjoy about these simple golf tips is they can be taken straight to the course because Danny will help you feel and visualise the perfect golf swing.

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
So probably just like you over the last few years I’ve got a bit older I’ve lost a little bit of distance until recently I went out for the launch of the Callaway Paradigm AI smoke driver
And I got a golf lesson from one of the world’s longest hitters and I managed to get my distance up to PGA tour level I’m going to show you how I do it in a second but what I’m going to do show
You how it works with every single Club in your bag No Matter your age or ability this is going to be a really really fun golf lesson I promise you no matter your age you are going to gain
Some extra yards with this it’s so simple and so effortless now before I get into the golf video look if you’re new to the channel your first lessons of mine please consider subscribing our leas videos just like this every single week to try and help you improve your game plus you never
Have to remember a thing I’ll always put a free download practice guide in the description box below oh my God this is so much fun so I am absolutely loving this new speed as you can
See I can’t really take a smile off my face but I had a session with James Tate in La when I was uh there for the launch of the Paradigm AI smoke driver and he basically stopped me from making
Some of the common mistakes that happens to every short hitter so let’s start now by showing you what those are so that you can start adding a few extra yards to your gear so step number
One so there are three steps to this and you’re going to add yardage with every single step so step one really really simple you know what I was doing which is a real power leak is is my
Shoulders were too level what this does is it gets me to come down on the golf ball any form of too much downward angle will reduce your power so really simply I just set my body up a little
Bit more behind the golf ball so the shoulders were Trail shoulder here is lower than the lead shoulder simple way you can do this take your Trail hand put it on the back of your leg here
And simply look here my shoulders level slide it down just a little bit above the knee then bring it in you could build that into your routine right not nothing more complicated than that that sets
The angle and now you’re ready to look to smash up on that golf ball step number two huge right and we’re going to hit a shot in a second to show this so step number two is is I’d become I’ve been
Working really hard on my technique and what I’ve done is i’ become Static I’ve become too much of a statue and I’ve lost the most important thing to to speed which is I can’t even say it moment
Momentum and and what I’d done is is I’d stuck my my body here and I was like this all James got me to do when when I was at La was to really get some form of trigger into my swing and that’s
What I want for you now he said look really move into your Trail leg but I liked it simple when I just imagined almost imagine holding a sandbag and if I was holding a heavy sandbag and I was
Going to toss it to somebody over here or pass it can you see what happens when I do this heavy bag and I throw it over here I’m turning look this way into my trail leg okay now as I do this I’m
Throwing the bag over here very naturally I’m creating this momentum so that was stage number two now I actually hit some golf balls before we moved on to what I thought was the biggest mistake
I was making in Step number three I just worked on this so get myself set here I got myself in a great position with my trail shoulder down here and then I started with intention I I’d
Lost intention to hit the ball a long way and I’ve been so focused on accuracy and control that I that had turned me into a statue so for the first time I kind of really just let loose
And enjoyed myself and ultimately that was a case from healer I just really imagined some flow look away from the golf ball that’s all I did so I started off like that I’ve got some intention
Now to hit this ball much much harder I’ve got more movement at the start of the Swing I’m not stood like this going like this I’ve got movement and that my intention to really add momentum look
Away and turn into this Trail leg I really feel it’s into that tra leg and then I’d hit a shot from there so let’s start with that and then I’ll show you a great drill he gave me which
For me could my number one fault I’m probably my number one power leak let’s have a look at this look at this every single drive I’m hitting over 300 yards it feels unbelievable and so much
Fun now when you do this as I did when I did this for the first time it felt really really out of control like surely I’m going to hit it everywhere and I actually felt more under control you see a
Lot of people when they feel like they’re moving you’re going to moving into a sway but look at this a sway is this right when I’m throwing those sandbags look at what’s happening naturally my body’s pivoting here into this Trail leg it’s putting pressure into this leg this leg is then
Allowing me to then power down into the swing which really brings me back to what I think is the best drill out of all these things is once you’ve got those two things and those are vital
If you don’t have intention to add momentum if if you’re too controlled none of this will work okay but James mate gave me the towel exercise and I’ve been making one major major fault so as well as in
A sense being too much of a statue I had basically created a swing that was too much rotational I was turning way too much I was simply turning around and around and what that meant was I didn’t have
Any form of force going into the ground so what I was doing was this I was turning and turning James gave me something which was so so simple and this for me kind of echoed what Pete cow got me to do
With the ions he says like there are three forces that play in a gol swing you have a rotational Force you have a lateral force and you have a vertical downward Force the one that should be in
Charge for you and me should be always be the one that in a sense is vertical the one that goes up and the one that goes down because look if I swing the club up and down you get the lateral I.E this
Motion this motion for free and also look at it as I fire my trail side down the rotational side it happens automatically but what I’d been doing is I hadn’t been listening to beat I’d been in a sense
Creating a ro ation very static motion and I’ve been going around and around and I just lost that momentum to go up and down where this drill really really comes in it’s a great drill to feel it so
Just grab a towel this is just bath a bath towel you know you use any old towel really just grab it hold it here and simply get some moment to throw it here now when I first did this my towel went
Down here why cuz my hands are very very low what I did here was throw it so it literally landed and finished look oh over this shoulder landed here look at it hanging on this shoulder here if my
Hands are high that’s where it’s going to be if my hands are low it’s going to fall down here this is a great tool right now once I’ve done this you’ll notice something that happened started to happen
Naturally My Lead Foot was naturally coming off the ground to help me achieve this you don’t have to do this but I find with a lot of players that I’m coaching senior players Etc as we get older it
Really helps to create some ability in the hips and the Torso and really helps you to get those hands much much higher you might not get them as high as me that’s absolutely fine but get them
As high as you can here so now once I’m there look now all I did was this fire my trail side down and I’m firing it hard now this is huge because when I’m here look and I fire down here I’m firing look
Down it’s a down motion that really opens up my body and gets his Trailside fir ing most of the time if you’re losing power you’re slicing the ball watch the difference you’re not going down you are you’re going here look you’re here I’m going around as soon as you do that your hands
Go this way you start swinging over the top you start slicing it you can’t start coming down on it steeply you lose all your speed so simply grab a towel throw it over land it over here you pause
For a little bit and then fire it down really feel here bang and I’m firing that trail snapping it look here there snapping it down to the golf ball it’s that snap here of the towel that basically
Helps you hit up on the ball it helps to rotate the body through at no stage I’m I trying to rotate that is what kills you swing and your speed so let’s see how far we can hit that and apply
That to your driver so one I’ve got them up to 117 M hour almost 118 mph Club head speed the average I think on the PGA tour is 114 so I’m already look 3 and 1/2 miles faster than a t player by
Doing this so let’s see if I can get that speed up to above 180 maybe to close to 120 and all I’m going to do here is I’m happy with that that might be enough I’m already built built up my speed and
All I’m doing here is this I’m imagining this club working up and then what I’m going to do here look is I’m here what I’m not going to do is rotate I’m not going to turn those shoulders
Around what I’m going to do here is from here I’m going to fire and snap the towel look down here as I turn that trail side look down to the golf ball as I turn it down here this way my body naturally
Opens up that’s the secret hitting up on the ball and ultimately firing those distances not around and around okay that’s going to kill your speed so enough talk let’s give one of these a bit of a
Smash that came a little bit out the bottom there just a little bit out the bottom but at the bottom of the club look still gone down the middle of fair at 290 yards so if I strike that better okay
That’s going to go well over 300 but that came out of the bottom of the club right so off we go again get myself set wind it up back down and fire that ball let’s get over let’s see how close we get a
320 that one came a little bit out of the neck so look even out of the neck of the golf club I’ve still at 310 yards can you imagine what happens when you start hitting out the middle
This is just so so much fun now you might be asking how does this apply to the irons and does it work with the irons yes it does ultimately look the difference with irons all I want to make
With the irons is this with the irons ultimately you want to have more level shoulders we want to strike the ball than the ground so we want to be with the irons more on top of the ball doing this
Rather than maybe behind it like we as you were doing with the driver but to generate speed the same things apply look if you want to get longer you know ultimately we don’t want this turn and turn we want ultimately that vertical motion so when you’re winding up if you if you want
To get those hands a bit higher and you struggle let that uh Lead Foot come up to get those hands higher then the same principle don’t turn now basically in a sense fire look from here fire
Downwards snap that towel look back down to the golf ball the difference is is here you’re going to be with uh that’s going to be driver but with the so your level level shoulders when you fire it
Down we’re more on top look of that ball right so same difference with the irons let’s look at this in action so what I’m doing here I’ve got seven iron here right so I’m going to level off my
Shoulders I’m still going to create the momentum here my tra raise that trail heel off little lead heel off the ground should say and fire that club down into that golf ball let’s have a look at this
Wind it up fire it down let’s have a look at this look at that right so I’ve got 96 mil hour worth of Club speed 195 yards in total basically here this is way above Tor standard now could I reduce
That speed and add a bit more control absolutely yeah and that’s what I might do but having it available to you this is how you create it all right so I hope you love this video if you did
Do me a favor give it a thumbs up maybe share it with one of your friends and of course look check the video out I did with James live where you see me doing this in La for the launch of the Paradigm
AI smoke driver you’re going to absolutely love it course look I’ll put a free download of practice guide in the description box below but until next week have a wonderful golfing week

Go long or go home! Woot! This was a very enjoyable video. You look like you had fun with your lesson and now you’re passing that fun along to us. Thank you!
I love how you take a lesson and dumb it down for us. Remarkable stuff!
The joy in your voice and your positive energy makes me want to be a better golfer.
What I see too often is an early turn. I let the club going back pull my shoulder into the turn with one piece takeaway. It helps hitting the ball with your entire body..🏌️♂️🏌️♂️
Definitely can hear some more pop in your drives Danny. I always say we aren't old just experienced. At 40 plus, I am in better shape now than in my early 30s but was also recovering from multiple back surgeries back then.
danny great explanation of motion in the swing.i needed that as i am a little robotic so afraid of swaying that i have not motion.keep up the good work.
I tried this on the course after your first video with James. What surprised me was it seemed easier to hit the middle of the club face. Not what I was expecting at all. Off to raid the airing cupboard now. 😅
Love this after 15min I gain 25 m with my driver
great video, love how excited you are about the new feel. Can't wait to work on this
Thumbs up there! Can see how exciting you are in this new way to improve speed and distance! Would definitely try that out on range!
Perfect!
Great lesson
I love all your videos, but especially the last two about hitting it longer. I can't wait to try this one out. In my last 3 rounds since the last vid, I'm hitting my driver much more solidly and about 20 years further than before on a consistent basis.
I can tell you're really excited about this tip based on how tongue-tied you were! 😂
Cannot wait to try this out…but it is -11 C here, so it might be awhile😮
Danny – Great video. Very informative!! Thanks for tying in the Pete Cowen drills. Jim
Danny, you’re seriously the best 👍 golf ⛳️ instructor on YouTube! I really appreciate your simple explanations of the golf swing through feel. Thanks 👏 from the Pacific 🌊 Northwest 🏔️ in the States 🇺🇸😁
Mate this is brilliant. I love how your videos keep it simple and give a visual representation, but also are self explanatory on how it should “feel”, which often gets overlooked in these sorts of videos on YouTube.
I see I have to go buy a towel at Goodwill in the near future
What a nice coincidence…ive been using this towel drill for a few months now..I can now definitely attest that it works!!,,, consistency has also improved greatly
Danny, your enthusiasm is so contagious! I can't wait to take it to the range.
It really works. Thanks for this great lesson.
You are bending your left arm a lot with the towel, does that matter?
:O
I saw the lesson video, tried it out and it was good. Got an old golf towel out, taped it up like Danny's and gave it a few tries. I was addressing the ball with the towel when the wife walked out the backdoor, took one look at me and looked sorry for me 🤣
Why can I bomb my 3 wood 260s to 280s and my driver? I have many drivers. I am currently using the Paradym. I don't get it.
I’m fit and 44. Started hitting golf balls. PGA my ass ,I just want to hit a ball nice. I wasn’t born with a golf ball in my my mouth
I literally just got the longest towel I could find and put duck tape on it. Can’t wait to see the results for this!
It your vital and vivid nature Danny, easy as that❤
Well I know what I'm going to try at the range
Wow, Danny, you've got the excitement of a 12 year old back in your game. You can hardly form words. I so want this. I can't wait to try this out when our Canadian weather allows us back out there. What a treat to see you this over the top excited. Thank you.😊
Great video Danny and have watched the long drive video a week ago. Have been working on the Earnest Jones method of swinging the clubhead for the last few months, which is essentialy point 3. Del a Torre then refined it to put the club over your right shoulder, then put the club over your left shoulder and let the ball get in the way. That creates the closest to vertical swing you can put a golf club onto a ball. Exactly what you are talking about Danny, not going around the body. I'm 64, off 19 and 3 weeks ago injured my lower back, not by playing golf. Today, nursed myself around the course using the Jones/Del a Torre method for 34 points with 4 blobs. 5 pars on the front 9. Most drives using this method, with a limited swing where around the 190 – 200 metre mark and on fairway. Trust it folks, it works.
Your best video. You've made a ton. I watch them all. Thanks for the great lesson.
Great video!!
Danny, are you step 4 – start the head of the club slightly off the floor at address? Does this make a difference to better strike ?
Best lesson on this channel for me.
Great video! You were amped up!!!
