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 today I really want to help you with your golf driver swing I’m going to share with you the fastest way I know to improve your driver swing in doing so I’m going to share with you
A golf swing tip that was shared to me by the world’s number one golf coach Pete Cowen it does three things it instantly improves your contact it instantly improves your direction and if you follow the steps I’m about to show you you will start to see an instant increase in your
Distance okay it’s super super cool and a really simple golf tip before I get into the golf video look though if you’re new to this golf channel and it’s one of your first golf lessons of mine please
Consider subscribing I release golf videos just like this one every single week to try and help you improve your golf game plus you never have to remember a thing I’ll always put a free download practice guide in the description box below so before I share with you Pete Cowan’s golf tip
Let me just show you what a simple golf swing or driver swing looks like super simple ultimately it’s this the golf club swings back on roughly a 45 degree Arc it’s like a beautiful Circle swings back here comes back into impact here and then swings through it is simple it’s repeatable
Able okay with you’re being inconsistent with driver and I was to track your Club my bet is we’d see all these various different loops and stuff and the golf club’s going all over the place thus affecting your strike your level of consistency and certainly the amount of distance
That you’re capable of hitting all right so how do we then create a circle that is consistent time and time again well ultimately you all you’ve got to do is this what moves the club
You right the body the way you move this body now most of the time the reason why the club’s moving all over the place is is your body’s moving all over the place and you probably can’t feel it
All the time or you’ve tried many many things but you haven’t be able to solve the problem so Pete gave me this exercise in fact he he reckons this one drill he gives to every single one of
His students because it is the fastest way to get the body working effectively time and time again and it’s ultimately the feet together exercise so you’ve probably seen this drill or similar drill like this before but not in the way I’m about to explain it to you today because if you can
Learn to do this correctly it is incredible at improving the quality of your strike so here’s what we start what’s the purpose of this well when you start with your feet together like and stay there just for a moment okay we’ll show you how you start to get wider uh throughout the
Video but when you start like this what does it do well we want to get that club arriving at the same spot every single time okay now what happens when people’s feet are apart they start to move around excessively without realizing okay that’s affecting bringing the club back at the
Same spot every time but when you try and move around excessively with your feet together you’ll immediately lose your balance which gives you immediate feedback and therefore training right so this is almost like a free training here that you can take to the golf course so I’m swinging
Now backwards and forwards and I know that if I start moving around I’m going to lose the control of the the control of the head so I swing now and I know I’ve got a consistent spot I can strike on
The ground okay the second thing it does is this when I tip forward now remember we don’t play baseball like this okay we play golf so we we’re tilted towards the ground we want a tilted Circle
So now if I as long as I keep my head roughly on an imaginary wall here as I’m swinging this club I am now naturally going to swing this club on a roughly a 45 degree Arc I will immediately feel
Myself coming up cuz I will lose my balance but when you have your feet apart it kind of masks a lot of this okay and you can you can lift up you still feel the balance because you got feet apart
And again you set the inconsistency comes in so having the feet together trains a really really good swing so here’s how what I want you to do to set it up because this is important so before
You go into hitting any golf balls here all I want you to do is put your feet together like this okay now turn your left foot or your lead foot out slightly here this just keep you a bit
More ability in this left side then what I want you to do is this I want you to make some swings small swings to start with okay now every single time I give this to somebody I mean every single
Time they start to lose their balance why because they’re starting to move make the same moves they did with their feet apart this is brilliant right because it’s giving them feedback you see once your body starts to lose balance all I want you to do is keep swinging and swinging and
Learn to swing in balance as you start to learn to swing imbalance suddenly your body will start to kind of pivot more it will start to kind of get all the right tilts in like this why because
It happens naturally but you don’t have to think about it the drill will teach you how to do this naturally because if I start lifting up I will feel the loss of balance so on now sty stay a bit
Closer to the golf ball here there we go swing backwards and forwards and Trust the exercise okay then what I want you to do is this this is important when you get yourself set when when
You set up to the golf ball here I want the ball okay outside almost on my little toe of my lead foot here now why do I do that because when we’re swinging I want you to set up with the club about
Two or three inches behind the golf ball here cuz when you swing beautifully in Balan here we want the club the driver to do what naturally hit up on the golf ball okay so I’m going to hit shut
Now just put my feet together and all I’m focusing on here is just pure and utter balance watch this felt good felt out in the middle of the club and we’ve just hit that 234 yards with what you probably thought is very little effort whatsoever now as I’m doing this and you do
This for the first time you’re going to find yourself losing balance sometimes and that’s absolutely fine but what I’m doing here is as those feet are together balls outside this kind of lead foot here all I’m going to do is keep swinging and I’m not trying to hit any
Distance backwards and forwards and I promise you what’s going to happen to your contact is is as you keep swinging in Balance you’re going to start hitting it out in the middle of the club time and time again and more importantly when you start to lose your balance you’re going to
Immediately feel it okay so often all I’m doing is focusing on keeping my head roughly against that wall trying to return back back in front of me here so I’m getting the pressure of those arms
Not throwing here not over the top just simply turning it back in front of me body uh body here okay let’s have a look at this in action and I’ll build up in a second so feet together toe
Out okay that felt really solid really yeah look we’re up to 251 yards in total 100 miles hour with the clubit speed and I’ve got my feet together okay now what I’m doing here as I do this now
You you’re not going to hit it necessar my club speed is well over 100 miles hour normally right but it’s not about increasing Club speed with this it’s about improving the consistency of your Arc and the consistency of your contact if for the majority of golfers out there this will
Immediately improve your consistency you can go and play like this okay now all I do now is is I’m going to test myself I’m going to keep that ball outside that foot here now all I’m going to do is now see if I can still swinging balance but I’m going
To swing now with a little bit more Pace to this and that pace is going to want to take me out of balance potentially so I’m going to find my habits my habit would often be kind
Of slid there what I’ve done with the club I’ve dropped it behind it’s not on the circle anymore so holding this here I really feel like I’m it just giving me incredible training and we’ll
Show you in a second how we expand this maybe even to the irons as well in a second so let me see I really ramp up this one here feet are together again here toe out let’s give it a
Smash I really hit that one a little bit harder St my feet together we’re up to 2 now 70 yards with the feet together yeah so I could play golf like that comfortably yeah now I want you to do
The same so how do we expand this a little bit well the whole purpose of this exercise isn’t to try and hit those yardages initially is to improve the quality of this circle and your low
Point the point where you come back into the golf ball all you do now bit by bit is is you start to increase the width of your stance so you might want to go okay now got maybe a club and a half
Wids between my heels toes still pointing out and now what I do is same principle here can I still feel the same feelings here so what I’m feeling here is this I don’t I one of my problems sometimes is a little bit of this so I’m really feeling my balance your yours might
Be this a lot of slices kind of SL uh move this way so again it’s training this motion you would have felt this with your feet apart so you take those feelings and ultimately all you do is just
Give it a smash really focusing on your balance and these feet look this is going to massive look at that there 278 yards super comfortably now before we finish look let me show you how this really quickly works with the irons now the slight change I make with ions ultimately is
I get them unlike driver where the ball position is on the outside of this kind of lead foot here I get the ball more Central the other thing I get them to do is to recognize like with a
Driver kind of the club’s coming in almost like a plane where the back wheels are landing so you imagine a driver head you want the back of the driver almost landing and then kind of hitting
The ball on the way up with an iron ultimately we want to strike the ball on the way down now so we you know what I do get with my students here is I get them to imagine the Leading Edge
Of this club of the base here striking down on the ground most of the time when people are not really striking it very well or thinning it and fatting it they’re generally hit in the
Back edge here so all we do is that’s going to be helped already just by having your feet together ball position more Central but then I’ll get them simply to pay attention I want you to the same to
What part of the club is ultimately striking the ground okay this is amazing then I’ll get him to just hit some shots again same thing this is a 79 here feet together toe pointing outwards but
But this time ball in the middle of my stance I get some swings backwards and forwards I feel myself losing balance brilliant I keep swinging until I’m starting to swing in Balance notice by the way I’m not staying dead still try staining balance I am Swinging with freedom in my knees my
Ankles my hips as much as you can based on your flexibility and watch this it works with irons too okay nice and simple and there you go look beautifully straight nice and simple now I love
This not just for a driver not for irons but also do it with your wedges I had the same issue with my wedges a little bit of slide again all I did was put my feet together and immediately
I started to get the feedback necessary to get those beautiful strikes it works with every single Club in your bag it’s as old as Timeless drill but I tell you do it properly make sure they
Change those ball positions I promise you you’re going to start to you can take it straight to the golf course you’re going to start to see some big improvements in the quality of your ball striking
And your accuracy hope you enjoyed the video if you did give it a thumbs up maybe share it with one of your friends and of course look if you’re new to the channel press that subscribe

Looks good definitely going to try this when I get back from holiday tomorrow, who knows maybe even on a golf course! Thanks 👍
Thank you Danny, great drill.
Sounds so simple, Danny, I'm going to try this, thanks.
I think balance is key. I usually hit better drive’s when I finish balanced, however my stupid ego seems to want to hit driver 300mph😂😂😂. Example into the wind, I never hit a good drive because I’m always hitting it too bloody hard. The ball hooks low and hard. Great lesson Danny
Good stuff like always!
Great video DM. Really useful 👍
Brilliant as always Danny! Torpedo drives here I come!
P.s loving the new bearded look! Cheers!
Pretty nice explanation, cool I will try thanks
Great video DM. Really useful 👍
The simplest drill made beautiful ,thank you so much
Hi Danny
My post is nothing to do with today’s video but a follow up to one a few weeks ago with your Leo and the towel drill leading to longer drives. Decided to try it out during my usual Wednesday game concentrating on high hands on the backswing and then whipping it down to the ball. I noticed three things:
I was hitting it further, consistently outdriving my playing partners and on one occasion by 30 yards. One of my partners, who plays off 4, wondered out loud if I’d been bodybuilding! On one hole my drive measured 255 yards. Now, given the cold air temps and the very soft fairways, that’s not bad for someone nearing 69 and stands at 5’4”. Think what I could do in summer temps with the fairways firm. My target must be 280+?
I was hitting the ball STRAIGHT! I believe with my previous ‘safe’ drives, I was getting ahead of the club maybe, leaving the clubhead behind me and therefore the face might be a bit open leading to a fade, a BIG fade or…..the gorse bushes!! I was actually hitting the ball down the left of the fairway this week probably because at address I was closing the clubface slightly to conteract the fade. So, the ball wasn’t going everywhere! The brain takes over and adjusts. I was just letting it go!
The ball flight was much higher, with the ball in the air for longer. Again, if I’m not getting ahead of the club I feel I must be hitting up on the ball much more leading to a better ball flight??
I have read posts from your subscribers who have got so excited at doing this or that on the course after following your video tips. I can now understand how they feel! It is SO exhilarating!
So, if any of your subscribers managed to read to the end of this post, please just give it a go, you’ll be amazed.
Thanks Danny.

I'm hoping this video helps my driving. I've been practicing weekly and I still struggle with carry distance over 150 yards and total yards over 180 yards. It's been frustrating.
Well done Danny 👏 😊
I’m glad that’s only 3-4 inches.
Phew!
Great tip thanks Danny, I’ll be trying it out later. Ball position, Driver forward, iron central, Wedge ?
Brilliant, nothing less
This is the best drill by far. I still won't hit it 200 yards tho 🙂
Great video as usual Dan, I stuck my Driver away as fed up spraying it everywhere ! Had lesson in the week, I needed to get my arms straighter and softer grip, I had other way ‘round ! My coach said the straighter arms improves arc and gets posture taller. Swing was also too flat so got to get backswing higher and more vertical – check point arms swing under chin and but of club points at ball to target line halfway back. Over range tomorrow, and will implement what Lee, my coach has told me and build in your Driver arc / contact tips. All the best, Ken 😁👍
