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 its 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 take a look at this drive at the 18th at Canterbury Golf Club what do you think Super narrow isn’t it you need to know how to hit driver straight so many golfers here are slicing the ball hooking the golf ball they don’t know how to hit driver straight they don’t know how to hit driver consistently in this video I’m going to show you how you can learn how to hit driver straight I’m actually going to give you five simple golf tips you will not need them all maybe one or two or combination of one or two will have you hitting the ball so much better absolutely promise you so before I get into your golf lesson if you’re new to the channel your first lessons of mine please consider subscribing I release videos like this 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 downloadable practice guide in the description box below so Golf tip number one and before we work on your direction I want to make sure that you can strike driver properly I say this because Greg a recent student of mine couldn’t stop slicing driver but the problem was he also had poor contact sometimes he would hit it low on the ground some golf shots would Sky up in the air and then occasionally he would hit that beautiful drive straight down the middle but it was really inconsistent what we did to change this was first of all improve his driver setup it’s very simple now with driver you want to hit the golf ball on the way up the easiest way to achieve this is to do two things let’s get your ball position in the right place to do this put your feet together so the ball’s right in the middle of your stance take a little step towards the Target and a big one away from the target this sets the ball position just inside the lead heel Greg wasn’t doing this in fact the reason why his strike was so bad and I see this with so many golfers is that his Club was coming down quite steeply into the golf ball like this now look at this if he strikes the ball there’s no Loft on the club the ball goes low if he strikes it and the ball comes off the top of the club he strikes it and the ball goes super super high every so often he saves it and he hits it okay all I did to completely eradicate that was change his setup I want you to do the same to check yours take a club put it right down the middle of your sternum here now Greg was set up like this with the shaft completely with driver almost pointing at the middle of your stance where you probably have an iron but I want you to point this club towards the golf ball what this does is it angles your shoulders a little bit more this way and provides a better way to strike the ball at the bottom of the arc or even slightly up on that golf ball this is hugely beneficial the other thing you can do which could be even simpler when you’re playing is I’ve got one of the true track balls from Callaway here and when I look above that ball I can see the two dots on the ball but when I go like this I can now see the track or the Little Dot on the underside of the golf ball this proves now that I’ve got some form of tilt in my shoulders and I’m now positioned to strike the ball on the way up with my driver swing so set up correctly first it will make hitting driver straight so much easier so now we’ve helped Greg with his strike we still needed to help him hit driver straighter Greg was still slicing the golf ball because he didn’t understand what causes the ball to curve I asked Greg Greg you’re still slicing it just out of interest what part of the golf ball here from the back this side here or this side here are you hitting do you think when you slice it oh definitely I’m hitting too much here face is open and I’m hitting it there that’s why it’s curving over there and I said no actually every time you are slicing a golf ball you are hitting the outside of the golf ball and her says really yeah your ball sets off to the left and curves to the right he says well what causes the curve he says well if your Club face is square to the path you will hit driver straight left but if I open the club face you will start to slice the driver look this spin this spin is what curves the ball over to the right hand side this is why you’re slicing it and it say wow really so I said yeah so what we want to do is is you’ve now got yourself set up in position I want you to start to make some swings now where you’re actually striking it look on this side of the golf ball so suddenly now what do you think he did he started to make better movements rather than trying to stop his slice swinging this way to try and stop it going over there he started now to make much much better swings because he start to visualize a completely different movement if this was you know football or soccer you call it in the in the US if I want a ball to curve this way I’m hitting look this side of the golf ball with my foot angled to create spin yeah this is ultimately how you get rid of any form of slice that’s all we did that simple golf tip and new understanding completely changed the whole approach to his game so that is golf tip number two you get yourself set here take your posture start to visualize that club attacking on a swing Circle that hits the inside of that golf ball and you’re going won’t just start hitting driver straighter you may even start to hit a draw with driver just like that beauty let’s move on to simple golf tip number three so golf tip three You Now understand that curvature on a golf ball is created by two things the path the club is traveling so the path strikes the ball on the outside here with an open face you produce slice spin that curves it over to the right hand side and if you path the club too far to the right with a close face you create hook spin that spins the ball to the left it is as simple as that now Tom a recent student of mine he came with a slice now we got him set up as we’ve talked about earlier got him set up correctly then I he just wanted something simple to take to the golf course so I said to him look get a mark and put it on an inside quadrant the great thing about hitting a driver is you get to place the ball on the tee this allows you to put a mark on the inside quadrant of this golf ball here this is the part you want to strike because you’re striking the outside quadrant when you slice a golf ball I want to really exaggerate the feeling the chances of you hitting there are really slim but this is your focus point it did two things it got him clearly into a better setup the other thing you got him doing here look is this most people who slice like I say are coming this way suddenly now he started to create a swing Circle that came look down the correct line to strike this inside quadrant here versus look this would strike the outside quadrant so just putting a Mark gave him a real simple Focus point but we couldn’t stop there because remember this is Step number four if you’ve got an inside path but the face is aiming over there as you do it where’s the ball going to go probably into those trees right so I needed him to kind of fix the second thing which is Club face now all I did with him is look look at your Club face now as you swinging the club away right what you’re doing is you’re throwing the club away as you throw it away like this you’ve lost complete control over it that face is opening up like this so when you come back down the face is wide open you might hit this quadrant but it’s going to go over to the right so I did just one thing with him once he’s got that kind of visual all I did was say look you see all the best players doing this concentrate on looking after that club face in the first part of your swing keep it nice and calm because if you keep the whole thing calm when you get to the top you’re in a better place to come straight back down the line but if you throw it away the face is lost so focus on the inside quadrant then as you look down the Fairway take a movement do a few swings just like the best players do controlling that face look here backwards and forwards take do a few little rehearsals and when you’re ready just pull the trigger that’s an absolutely beautiful high draw why because I’m focusing on the inside quadrant I’ve looked after my club face and that is going to help me create that draw now clearly Tom didn’t do this in one ball like I’ve just done there he started off in step by step he had to get the feeling and the visual of striking this inside quadrant he then needed to kind of take his time even when I said take it calmly on the way back he still swung it back too fast taking it calm he felt really slow motion on the way back here but that is what really helped him control the club face let’s just focus on one final thing for the last student of mine so before we move on to step number five which I think is probably the most important because it helps you with your ions too remember you don’t need all of these you know just a combination even the understanding could really help you start to hit those Fairways more consistently with your driver okay but this final bit is super super important see your ability to control this club face and the orientation is huge so many people who are slicing or hooking the golf ball do not have any idea where that face is that club is traveling 100 miles an hour here’s the thing though I know where that faces I can feel it I’ve developed that skill I want you to do the same and the simplest way to do this is this all I want you to do is this I want you to close your eyes for a second put your hand out here now I know that my palm is facing this way yeah with my eyes closed I know my palm is facing this way why because I can feel this but here’s the other thing and you I want you to do this test now grab an iron or a driver look at this I’m going to keep my eyes closed I’m going to spin this club around like this so I don’t know where it is but I’m going to find where square is right there makes sense look at that completely Square why is that useful because knowing and being able to feel where square is I’m able to control that club all the way back and all the way through it’s it’s a skill that most of the people I coach initially do not have and they can create beautiful swings but they do not ride that club back to square you can do this in the comfort of your own home spin a few clubs around keep your eyes closed and start to play around what you’ll feel is the weight of the club it will slightly different but that level of feel and awareness you then start applying you can start to bring that awareness into that swing I now can feel when I open my face at speed I can feel when the club’s starting to close down it’s what gives me the skill to hit the ball straight I want you to develop that skill it will take time so be patient but it is absolutely huge okay so spend time now working on one or a combination of one or two of these things and I promise you you will learn how to hit straight driver just like Tom and Greg did I hope you enjoy the video if you did give it a thumbs up maybe share it if one of your friends and if you feel like you enjoy this video and you maybe want to look at something on your irons check this one out right here free practice uh guide in the description box below but until next week have a wonderful golfing week

  1. Once again these are tips I've heard before but I love that expression keeping the clubface calm. Thanks again Danny.

  2. Thanks Danny, I have found your videos really helpful and you explain things very clearly, unlike most American coaching Pros. You have made a great difference to my game.

  3. Cheers Danny. Excellent video as usual. Face control is my worst enemy, I hit some nice balls with good distance and great flight. Never see them again but they fly beautifully – left. Then I back off and it all goes pear shaped from there. 😂🙈.

  4. I've had lessons, but I just don't get the detail of why things occur (from those) the way I do from these bite size learning nuggets. I have a question though Danny regarding where on the ball contact is made, does the same thing occur/apply with irons? I'm a prolific slicer and while it is improving its still a thing for me. The only club I don't slice regularly (apart from wedge and putter) is my 4 hybrid (and that's thanks to your other lessons!), but I struggle to get it right with irons and the driver slice is insane! (though I will take what I've learnt here).

  5. Seriously, you're the best youtube coach! All your tips have helped me so much lower my scores. I've been a player my whole life, but your videos have really helped me take the next step towards actual great play i can be proud of. Keep up the good work 👏

  6. Blocked a few right Dan,then slowed backswing and hit 5 good draws in a row..its coming together..thanks for simple to understand very workable. Tips 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛳👍

  7. Great lesson Danny ⭐️⭐️⛳️⛳️🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️🙏🙏👊🏼👊🏼

  8. Great video Danny. It's not just us amateurs can benefit from this : watching the Masters a few weeks ago, seeing Jon Rahm slice a few and the microphones picking up him complaining to his caddy on the tee after slicing another one – "why the ** is everything going right"?? 🤔

  9. Another brilliant lesson Danny. Do you ever make it over to this side of the pond (USA)? You are very popular here. Would love to host you at our club.

  10. Hi Danny, just got my new irons and woods, so fully committed now to getting back on the fairways again. It'll take a bit more practice on the range before I'm ready to tackle being on a course again but things are going well after such a long break. Thank you, your teaching style is what has inspired me to get of my arse and give it a GO again!! All best, Steve

  11. Thanks coach! i said earlier that your "effortless swing" video made my swing feel very natural, but i hadnt tested it on the range/course yet, only in my garden..Well, yesterday on first tee i smoked the straightest drive ive ever done, followed up by a straight long 6 iron..i fumble the puts tho haha, but after that i made 3 pars in a row, and and after 5 holes i was 4-1 up against my friend, who ALLWAYS beat me😁 In the end i played worse and got tierd and he beat me tho, but thats not the point, bc last couple times we played, all he been seeing from me are snaphooks and clubs flying lol… this is just the beginning! Rome (my golf) wsnt build in 1 day😎✌ Have a great day!

  12. I’m in Los Angeles
    Paying close attention Danny …… this better work tomorrow !!!!!!😂

  13. Danny it may be the camera angle but are you standing completely square to the ball at address with the feet or are you slightly closed? Fantastic video as ever 👍

  14. This is great Danny I hit a lot of low left shots with my driver can you explain where your hands should be at contact! I feel like mine are too much in front of the ball 🤷🏻‍♂️ thanks Danny

  15. Me n driver to a tee 😂😂
    Im a big slicer when i get out (i need to get out more) to the point where i don't like hitting the driver anymore! Next time im out, im playing this beforehand….

  16. Another piece to the puzzle. And another big thankyou Danny. As you know, I've been following as a fan for quite a while and you have helped my game immensely. I can neither thank you enough or recommend you to others enough. Pure legend Danny. Cheers.

  17. Really good video as always. Ive been working on trying to draw the driver. I use to slice but the last few years ive been very straight. I've been twisting my right hand in a right to left direction on the downswing. Am I going about this wrong?

  18. All makes marvellous sense. You are so good knowing your audience and teaching in language we can all understand. Wish a lot of speakers would do the same!!

  19. Another cracking lesson. Focussing on small targets on the ball and in the distance just works with the driver. Thanks Danny.

  20. Excellent video , I always find them helpful but you do tend to concentrate on folk who slice their drives. It would have been beneficial if you had included a demonstration of a hooked drive as they say" picture speaks a thousand words" Look forward to next week.

  21. I've said it before Danny so easy to understand, when I slip back into the bad habits, which we all do, just check the video to refresh,thanks keep it going
