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 I’d love to share with you something I’ve
just shared with a recent student of mine Mark struggling with his drive big slice with driver
and really inconsistent with his ball striking with his irons now if every single golfer did what
I’m about to share with you in this golf lesson I guarantee they would improve immensely most
of the time what we’re doing is we’re putting sticking plasters on our golf swing we don’t get
to the core problem and what I did with Mark is I really got to the core of what is a golf swing
how you move the engine which is the body on the way back on the way and on the way through is
absolutely key in helping you hit both your driver and your irons consistently well what was super
funny with Mark is he came with major problems with his driver once we’d fixed his irons he
stopped to driver and in one ball nailed it straight down the middle so exactly what we worked
with his irons worked immediately for his driver i can’t wait to share it with you so before I get
into lesson look if you’re new to the channel one of your first golf videos of mine please
consider subscribing i release videos just like this one every single week to try and help you
improve your game but you never have to remember a thing everything we do here I’ll put into a free
downloadable practice guide in the description box below so this is one of those golf lessons that
I’m really excited to share with you because as I said at the start of the video I think if
you do this you will see massive improvements to your ball striking and your accuracy now great
players what helps them get that consistency is they’re able to move the club and their hands
on a very consistent arc around their body on the way back and on the way down now they’re able
to do that because they move their bodies in such a way that supports their hands arms and the
club now that support looks something like this if I stood up here you’ll notice if I move my
my body correctly my hands arms and club work on a beautiful arc around their body right they
don’t move up and around and all over the place but when people start to angle their body towards
the ground what we should start to see look is the same thing we should see the body supporting the
arms hands and club on an arc around the body so you’ll notice here my lead shoulder goes down my
trail shoulder’s high and everything’s supporting all the way on the way back and on the way through
you’ll notice here look my trail shoulders down my lead shoulders up and I’m supporting that
club swinging on this arc now it sounds simple doesn’t it and it should be but it isn’t because
without knowing you’ve likely got a blockage in your golf swing that’s stopping your body working
and supporting those arms hands and club and this is exactly what Mark had now Mark because of a
blockage would get his club working in the wrong direction here then it would lift up here and then
you can imagine it’s going to be really really inconsistent so where was the blockage and these
are things I want you to look out for let’s start with simply set up when you’re setting up remember
we want to create an arc on this side of the golf ball so the first thing I look at here is this
is my trail side unblocked in such a way that’s going to allow it to naturally turn with Mark
it wasn’t two things his trail arm was like this with like this I’m just going to swing the club
out here or what he did pull it like this right so the right arm needs to be soft soft look I’m
moving inwards now I can turn it around the corner the second thing was his trail foot again simple
things move that trail foot outwards a little bit just flare it a little bit what does this help
you do it helps to unblock the pelvis mark’s pelvis this is huge and I see this all the time
by the way with golfers okay I’m going to show you my backside in a second this pelvis did not move
so what happens is this blockage here happens it stays blocked now the problem is is we’ve got to
get the hands and the club working on an arc well they can’t right so what we do is is we’ll start
to make compensations the arms will pull the club around now we’ve got a really kind of awkward
looking swing the arms move off line and we’re gone right so the blockage was there by unblocking
this all I did with Mark was this i said “Look we’re going to do two things with you Mark we’re
going to unblock that and then all I want to do is get your belt buckle here pointing towards your
trail foot you could also which is sometimes even better get your right pocket here my chop pocket
moving towards look the target so many people are simply keeping it here in the same place that is a
blockage that’s going to stop your hands arms and club working look on a beautiful arc around that
body super super important so once we’ve unblocked this here you’ve now got the ability look for the
hands to work on an arc inwards the club to work on an arc inwards now we’re getting somewhere
right two more pieces really really important so it’s simple right mark needs to make sure
that yes we’re working on an arc but we’re not working on an arc around our body we’re working
around and upwards so the lead shoulder needs to work down as you’re doing it okay okay so when
I’m moving this here look my lead shoulder is working downwards i’m lead shoulders low trail
shoulders high i’m working on an arc so we’ve unblocking now this motion and this is all we
did to start with there’s one more major piece in a second but this is the first exercise so
I got him to set up to the golf ball flare his trail foot out and rehearse a couple of times this
motion lee shoulder down hands in pocket to target lead shoulder down hands in pocket to target those
three things unlocking so that club now look is tracking beautifully around my body from here the
club can work back beautifully on the arc strike the golf ball and we can create this beautiful
flight straight down the fairway so we started with a half swing to start with then we gradually
build it up so let’s have a look at this in action first and then we’ll show you how we build it
up and then transferred it to the driver so set myself up unlock that body here no there we go now
unlocked flare that trail foot out a little bit here feel that pocket working towards the target
hands in shoulder down right let’s have a look at this lovely sound right so once we’ve got him
actually striking the ball and he’s starting to hit that ball much much straighter what we
then did we said “Look we’re going to start you want to hit more distance right you want to hit
it longer.” That’s when the next blockage comes in and this is the one that again I see all the
time with many of my students so watch out for it so he’s done this kind of like half swing to here
right but when he gets beyond this he then starts to rise he starts to go off position again I
see this a lot of the time this is where the head tilt is super super important so when you’re
m making this movement here and we’re working this club around the body your head and way it’s
tilted i often imagine pouring water out my left ear i got this from a a coach a friend of mine
as a coach Andreas Kelly said imagine pouring water out your left ear because what that does
here is that head movement there you try this it allows you to continue working look the hands
on the arc around if my head’s here watch what happens to my arms they go they can’t go much
further so now the problem is I will cheat to complete my swing as soon as you’ve gone offline
we’re in real trouble so find if you have any of these partic particular blockages in your swing
that’s stopping you working this club beautifully on an arc around that body back and through
now there’s one more major piece I’m going to introduce in just a second but let’s just add that
kind of length into the swing here so again same principle unblock the swing my trail pocket here
is working towards the target my hands are working in my shoulders working down and now I’m listening
or I’m pouring water out of my lead ear here just picture this motion in your mind there we go
right there we go look at that all this space look to work back down into that golf ball with
okay so get myself set here look at the target beautiful sound right so final piece as
we are coming through so when Matt was doing this things were already starting
to improve but the habit of this kind of slice that he had still exists a little bit
he still wanted to return to the old pattern and the old pattern was this we we’re in a
great position now right he’s moving back but how do we make sure that you don’t jump out
this way and you start back and you continue this beautiful arc back into the golf ball you haven’t
got a lot of time to think in the down swing so what I gave Mark was a really simple drill that
helped Mark feel this naturally coming down and ultimately look if if you find yourself in a sense
struggling to get the club working beautifully down this then the chances are your pattern will
look something like this the club works out notice what’s happening to my hip and my heel of my trail
foot it tends to want to naturally the pattern is a spin this way right what we want to create look
is a much more down the line pattern watch what happens to my heel compared to what it did before
it moves it’s always look ahead of my toes before it gradually moves up now it’s too much to think
about right so all I wanted to do with Mark is give him a simple simple exercise which we’re
at the driving range i give him a basket of golf balls i got him to set up here and I said
“Look put that on your heel and just say look if you do this the chances are your heel’s going
to smash that basket of balls just simply make a swing trying to avoid that heel.” So suddenly now
you’re working more this way avoid the basket and you’ll naturally start to take the club much more
down the line and through that impact area simple as that he loved it again because he didn’t need
it didn’t require much much uh to think about so let’s have a look at this in action get myself
set and all I’m going to do here is again hands arms or club working in so shoulder down hands
in create that motion make sure I’m tilting my head enough so I can continue working around got
that feeling then don’t overthink it let’s have a go simple as that so make sure do double
check you haven’t got any blockages in your swing that is stopping your body
supporting the hands arms and club as you move back one final piece actually before
we finish with Mark I always made sure that he was picturing a beautiful little draw from
right to left it’s really really important in fact what I’m going to do is I’m going to put a
video just here which is what I want you to watch next because it kind of works beautifully with
this one i 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 button right down
here but until next week have a wonderful golfing

Good Stuff !!
Thanks, Danny, for sharing another great video tip! They have helped me tremendously.
Exactly the video I needed to see today. I have been working on moving my body and had been trying to figure out what was causing my left elbow to collapse. Trying to simply shortthe backswing was not working. The minor foot adjustment and head tilt makes a lot of sense and gives me more room. I will give it a try today along with the foot drill.
ยอดเยี่ยมมากครับ
Def will try the bucket on the heel (as well as other tips) .ive developed a push / ball starting right of target line that ill correct into a bit of a pull . Which i had no clue of what was happening .. this may be a good checklist to help me figure it out 👍🏼✌️🏌️
I didn’t know until another person saw me and said my both of my heels come off the ground on the down swing,
I focused on keeping my feet planted until impact and it feels much more natural for ball striking
The swing you have shown above you have your arms straight, in other episodes you are folding your arms on the back swing. Which one is correct?
Like your videos, my iron swing has improved so much from your videos. I cant seem to duplicate this with my driver though. It feels like the driver rolls and i cant control it. During impact, it feels like the driver face is angled toward the ground. Post impact, driver face already facing down. Any drill suggestion? Thanks
Danny, not only a fantastic teacher, but now a fashion plate. I like the color coordinated shoes.
You always make it look so easy Danny, Great Lesson!!
Thank you for another very valuable lesson.
Sticking plaster, first time ever hearing that one. I guessed it ment bandage and I was right. I'll have to remember that lol. We usually say band aids in the US.
great lesson danny i use your split hand drill for a great back swing it puts you right elbow in a perfect place cheers mate
Thank you bless you for sharing
8:25 in, your head does not tilt when you actually strike the ball as you have been instructing (as though to pour water out of your ear), or any other time you actually hit the ball
Just saying
Some great swing tips to improve your swing width to gain distance. The head movement recommended reminds me of Bernhard Langer’s swing where he doesn’t appear he can see the ball at the top of his swing
Question, with the blockage regarding the head tilt, are you saying to stop looking at the ball and move your sight backwards? Or is it just supposed to be a “feel”?
Playing golf has become the highlight of my retirement it's the perfect blend of relaxation and joy that I always envisioned for these golden years. My wife and I worked hard to reach this point, and now we’re both retired, debt-free, and blessed with a net worth of over $2 million. Through disciplined saving and smart investing in the stock market, we've built a lifestyle that provides steady weekly income. Now, beyond the fairways, we’re traveling, enjoying fun experiences, and cherishing every moment with our grandkids. We feel truly grateful to live wisely, frugally, and fully.
Personally I put an impact bag beside the bucket of balls and drop the club into it several times. This gives me a different feel and the right shoulder never comes out toward the ball.
Danny, I’m in California. A student of the golf swing. I often suggest your channel to people on the range. Live your graphics and simple explanations.
Hi Danny, I’ve got osteoarthritis in both hips lower back and both knees, which gives me limited mobility, would you suggest I just use the half swing to help improve my ball striking consistency
Thanks for the great lesson, Danny. I am not only hitting my irons better now, but finally got that water out of my left ear. 😉
As a golfer with a broken and dislocated hip, I'll definitely try this. Haven't been able to have any real range of motion since
Great lesson! Thank you for helping me figure out my backswing! Appreciate it so much, Danny!
I think this is probably the most diagnostic golf lesson I have ever watched. The theory of removing blockages one by one. The trailing arm position, the hip pocket back, the head tilt…it makes sense
I’m very new to golf, well just started lessons. When you say water pouring out of your lead ear, is both eyes still looking at the ball ?
Thanks
