Today you will learn one of the most simple, powerful and game changing things you can do to improve your golf. What’s awesome about this golf advice is it will just take 6 minutes of your time!
I wish I knew this when I first started playing golf as a beginner golfer.
Years ago I was told that to be any good at golf I had to practice for 8 – 10 hours every day. However new research into skill acquisition and the golf swing has proven that quality practice is far better than quantity.
In fact many of the best golfers on the PGA Tour and European Tour are no longer just beating hundreds of golf balls every day. Instead they are performing very simple golf drills for just a few minutes each day to help develop muscle memory.
Now you might not want to do something every day but if you can find a few minutes here and there check out these 3 simple golf tips you can do indoors, in your garden, in fact any place at any time.
I guarantee you will begin to see and feel improvement in your golf swing and your overall golf game.

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!

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
Hope you enjoy
Hey everybody, Danny Maude here. Practice makes
permanent. The problem is if you are permanently practicing the wrong things, you could be grooving
many faults into your golf game. For instance, if you happen to slice the golf ball or struggle
with contact, what I want you to do is these three simple golf drills. They’ll only take you
six minutes a day, absolute maximum. But what they will do is they will teach you the feeling first
of all of how the body is supposed to naturally move into the back swing. Most people have already
ruined their golf swing by the time they’ve got to the top of the swing. Golf tip number one is
going to teach you the feel of this. It’s super super important. Golf swing tip number two will
then teach you how to feel what’s required to transition back down towards the impact area. And
number golf tip three, teach you how to blend all this together in a flowing and an effortless golf
swing. Can’t wait to share it with you. Before I do though, look, if you’re new to the channel,
so you’re 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 game. Plus, you never
have to remember a thing. Everything we do here, I’ll put into a free downloaded practice guide in
the description box below. Great. So, what I want to do now is give you these three golf drills.
They’re just if you can spend six minutes a day working on them. They’re going to really help you
truly experience how to move in the back swing, how to transition in the down swing, and
then more importantly, how to blend those two things together so you start to create this
lovely effortless motion. So, golf drill number one I just give to a recent student of mine,
Paul. Now, I want you to take a look at these two swings. I’ll show you an exaggerated way.
uh first and you tell me what you can see. So this is swing number one. I see this a lot with
many amateur golfers who struggle. They’re trying really hard to get extra distance but nothing’s
happening. So this is kind of swing number one. So that’s swing number one. Look at
that. You got 75 miles an hour worth of club speed. Carry distance 130 yards.
Notice the length of that swing and the flow of that swing. This is golf swing number two. Just take a look at the speed on this one here.
So, we’ve gone from 75 mph to 83.9 miles an hour with 157 yard catch. So, another was it almost 30
yards of extra. Did those swings look different? I’m sure they did. Did one swing look so much
faster and so much harder than the other? Probably not. So, what’s happening? And this is what I see
with a lot of players who are struggling to get consistent contact and get the distance that I
know they deserve. So here’s what’s happening in those two swings. And this is exactly what Paul
was doing and I see with a lot of my students. What’s doing if you can pause the video so you
can experience this. It’ll be really useful. So what’s happening a lot is is when people turn,
they turn everything in the back swing. So look how my knees turn, my hips turn, everything turns
in the back swing on the way back. And then on the way through, look, the knees, hips, and everything
turn on the way through. And you might be looking at that and going, “Of course, yeah, surely that’s
what happens, right?” But it’s not. And when you do this, this actually feels quite relaxing
and comfortable when you turn to your right and turn to your left, but there it’s not a golf
swing. And there’s no power there. There really isn’t. In fact, imagine throwing a ball like this.
You wouldn’t do it. You could try and then flick your arm out and try and most Oh, why aren’t
I hit it very far? The best players, this is where drill number one comes in. They learn that
as we turn to our right away from the golf ball, we are resisting with this leg. And the best way I
can describe this is this. Most players look look like this. They’re turning everything in the back
swing. Look how look my whole leg is turning this way in the back swing. No resistance. Now what I
gave with Paul and it really was an instant game changer. In the first instance, he had to think
about it. This is normal by the way. So bear with me in this video, right? Follow it through from
start to finish. You’ll learn and really feel the benefit. You can pause the video and do this with
me. Be amazing. Notice what I’m doing here. I’m not allowing this foot to just kind of pivot into
my back. What I’m doing is this. I’m taping my zipper and I’m turning that zipper into my trail
leg here. I’m not turning this away. I’m turning it into it. Now, what I’ve got, look, is a loaded
trail leg. This is unbelievable amount of power stored in this leg that I can use to push back
towards the target. Right? Super super important. The same is true. Look in the lead leg. I am not
I am not doing this pivoting this way as I swing back now I am resisting in that leg as I pivot
back here now I’m resisting in this leg here this is getting me look to hold this ground is getting
me to really move in the correct way in the back swing this way whereas with Paul because he turned
this is what I see a lot he lifted away lifted away from this angle look at this lift lifted off
the shot. No power whatsoever. We want to move away from the ground. So, learning to sense these
kind of this feeling is really really important. So, drill number one. All I want you to do is you
can do it with a club without club. Do it indoors. Spend a couple of minutes to start with just take
your zipper, move it. Look, if I put a ball here, move it towards your trail leg. Don’t do this.
Don’t just collapse this leg and every turn everything. There’s nothing there. Move it
towards this leg. It’s like you’re crushing something here. Same thing. Feel that motion
first. Same thing in your left leg. This time, don’t move this and crush this here. Resist that
motion. Resist the urge as you turn back to kind of move this with it. Learn this sensation.
What you will start to find both knees are pointing forward. They’re not turning around.
what you’ll start to find is a very very loaded position and a great place to start to find uh to
to build power and effortless into your swing. So, let’s now work on drill number two, the
second two minutes of your practice. So, all great players do these two things. They move
forward in their transition before they ever make a turn back towards a target. That’s the first
thing they do. And the other thing you do, if you look at my trail heel here, this heel always
moves first before it works back out and around. I don’t see that with most players. What we see with
most players who lack consistency of contact and and power is this. First of all, they turn before
any movement. And the other thing they do here is, watch my trailer heel. Because they go right
and left, they simply spin out here like this. They flick the hands. There’s no real power.
We’ve gone. Right. So, we want to naturally eliminate. We want to naturally eliminate those
two things with dru number two, which is this. So, we’ve now loaded this trail zip, this zipper into
your trail leg, and you’ve resisted here. What we now need to do is simply reverse that. So, what
we’re going to do now is I want to move the zipper now into your lead leg. You see a difference
here? But the reverse happens, right? So, feel this. I’m going to show I’m using this as
a visual. This is a great tool. I’ll put a link in the description for this actually. I just get
these on Amazon just as a feeling, but I’m going to use it more as a visual. As I’m loaded here, it
feels more comfortable simply just to do this and turn everything through. And that’s where most
people would be. But as I’ve loaded it here, what I’m going to train now is this sensation.
Move my zipper from my trail leg, push it, look, into my lead leg. Now notice here this foot
hasn’t twisted has it? It’s stayed there. It’s not turning inwards. This is a sensation that you
need. Right? Notice this leg. This leg also this leg isn’t just buckling here and turning this way
which most people do. It’s resisting. It’s almost kind of as I’m turning here. This leg’s almost
doing this very naturally. Right? I’m feeling this motion. This is helping me use the ground
and generate this power through the impact area versus right left. There’s nothing there. Makes
sense. So, you need to develop these sensations. I’m going to show you it from this angle here. So,
I’m turning into this leg here. I’ve resisted in both left and right. A good maybe visual here is
to almost imagine knees always pointing forward here. They’re almost turning to the right and
turning to the left. Too quickly here. Look, I’m they’re keeping them almost pointing towards
you. And then look at me in transition here. They still look towards you, right? This is where we
want to be. Then they fire through impact. Okay, look at from this angle. Turn the zipper into my
trail leg. And then from here, look, I’m pushing. I’m pushing back to the target here into my lead
leg. Pushing the zipper into this leg. Feel that motion. Take time to do it. You will feel tension
in your thighs as you do this. Now, with Paul, as we got him to hit some shots with this, we kept
it really simple. I get, you know, he can’t focus on both legs. So, he we focus predominantly on
his trail leg. I got him here simply to do this because he was somebody who would pivot right
here and pivot through. All I got him to do is load this trail leg and in transition, don’t
let this right leg get in the way. I said to him, imagine that staying back like this, almost
staying fairly straight. So, he’s pushing away as he’s keeping it straight. This zipper, look,
is moving towards my left leg here perfectly. What that does is it gives him all this space
look to turn into, right? That then helped him create this beautiful straight shot compared to
this where he came over the top and would chop and slice it. Right? So, learning the sensation
one push back into this leg here. There’s the two exercises I want you to work on. One, two. One,
two. That is two drills. I want you to practice over and over again for two minutes each time.
So, drill number three is about kind of blending it all together. It’s a slightly more advanced
drill. I didn’t give this to Paul because he there was enough to get on with drills number one and
two, but it’s certainly something that he needs to practice at home, and I suggest you the same. So,
what we’ve got is is if you slice the golf ball, we know that your tendency is going to want to
be to spin this way. If you hook the golf ball, just like I do sometimes, your tendency is
going to want to be to slide underneath, right, and get it this way. So, how do we keep training
transition and blending these things in? Well, you’ve now loaded that back swing here. Turn into
this leg here and there. Now, on the way down, all we want to do is simply this. As we’re
transitioning, we want to go back and we want to get the sensation here that when we get here
into this place, the knees, the hips, and the posture is almost back to where it was, right? And
move backwards into almost my setup position here, right? With my body from here, this is a great
place because normally from someone like myself, I would be there. And for somebody who slices,
they would be here, right? So training the sensation of there back to where almost my reset
where I would start addressing my body. I’m now in a position now to fire up through the shot and
drive the shot. Now when you do these things again they can seem complicated can’t they? But doing
the exercises the feelings that you get from them those are what give you the aars. If you think
you can just watch a video and then you go out and play you’re not going to be able to do this.
The exercises are designed to provide you with the feelings that you go, “Ah, I get it.” Right? So,
let’s have a look at this action. So, let’s say someone like myself who’s hooking the golf ball
at times, I know I would get here. So, I got the feeling, oh my god, yeah, I’m going downwards into
forward bend. I don’t normally do that. I normally stay too high. That gets me flipping, right?
That makes so much sense. Then I can fire it. Right? So, once you’ve done a few of them, you
can start to then start to trust it over time. And then what happens is that you can start to
add and you can make it much much more flowing time and time again. But the flow comes from
the development and the confidence in what you first of all understanding what you need to
do then learning to kind of practice at home in slow motion feel what you need to do then you
get the aas then you can start adding into the golf swing. If you don’t have good foundations,
everything you do and everything you try to do above is just pure compensations. And if you ever
saw my video with Pete, that’s kind of what he was telling me to do. He was like, “Danny, you’ve got
lots of conversations going on here.” If you love this video and you think it’s going to help,
give it a thumbs up, share it with somebody who you think it could help. And if you want
to see my personal lesson with uh Pete where I was struggling a little bit, check this video
out right here. It’s been uh voted one of the best on the on the internet at the moment. Uh
but until next week, have a wonderful golfing

Hi Danny, would love to have you on the podcast at some point 🙌
As Harrington says, squeeze the nuts lads ☘️. Sorry Danny you were keeping the nuts out of it. This gets the legs involved in a way we can understand and we can groove with these drills. 5 🌟 as ever.
For seniors like me we need to try and practice harder. If Danny says 2 minutes, we need to practice 20 minutes till we can do it without even thinking about it. Thank you, Danny 🙏
Great Video! Definitely need to try this. Thanks.
How does this approach square with a teacher who recommends firing the hips as soon as possible on the downswing? Herein lies the dilemma that causes much frustration in those trying to improve. Who do you believe and how do square the circle? This seems particularly the case when one plays reasonably well ( hdp 9 )
Great video though!
Gold….and I have one of those spinners 👍😁
Smashing visualisation Danny. This will help immensely. Just a quick note as well, your previous two videos have helped both with my strike through the ball and your chipping video translated well to my chipper. Many thanks as ever.
According to my playing partners I do everything correct in the practice swing but as soon as I put a ball in front of me I come over the top 😢
At 42, I'm officially retired. With $95k biweekly income and the unwavering support of my family, I'm living the life I once prayed for, thanks to Ms Elizabeth Ann Zorn for her help and support, forever grateful
I think point 2 is really important and often missed. I do drill 2 but start with the thought of rolling the instep and finishing on the toe. Theres a great athletic motion golf video that shows the movement of the hip centre of a pro golfers and how it never moves right or in front of its starting position https://youtube.com/shorts/SzZcUgjy4gQ?si=LlgmyMHSNWIUNo_n
Hey Danny another great video with good tips I was trying this today and it felt so smooth and my contact was great as well really looking forward to using this tomorrow when I play cheers Archer
Another great lesson,thanks Danny👏
Danny three balls
I have a tendency to stay on trail side and coaches insist stay on lead side all the way. Find it hard to make turn through. As long as stay centered, shift the weight right?
I Danny a lot of seniors have to turn there hips in the backswing to get a backswing 👍😩
The 'Push & Pull snapping the shaft' 😉
Hi Danny. Watching on a train, so not a good idea to try it out right now! However, in my occasional really good strokes I think that I more or less do this – but I thought it was coincidental. Now you have given me a rationale and a structure to hone these feelings. Can't wait to get home to start!! Thank you.
Let's freaking go 😎🏌️
I’d like to see a video from you about turning your hands over in your swing, I’ve been dragging the club through my swing, essentially doing a full swing chipping motion and not allowing my hands to turn over in the swing. I recently realized what I was doing wrong and it changed everything for me.
Danny – can you speak to how this affects angle of attack? My angle of attack sometimes is half a degree to 2.5 degrees up. Can I use your less to change that so I am hitting down on the ball more?
Hi Danny, thanks for another wonderful video, however I was wondering if it was possible to introduce some slow-motion action video when you’re actually putting all the elements of the swing together. This should help us tie all those things together whilst maintaining the fluidity of the video.
Thanks again
Thanks, great stuff. Out in Pakistan for another two weeks, bought the hack motion and been using it with the no ball drills in the room . Now ill have this to do, probably turning pro when I finally get home 😂
How I would love to get all those years back from when a was taught the golf swing was two turns and a swoosh 😢
Morning Dan – despite my best efforts realised was moving slightly off ball in backswing.
Working in more body coil and keeping head centred – remember you did a drill with water coming out of Ear 😁 Also I liked a thought by American Instructor ( Eric Cogorno) about head staying in a circle – not stuck in concrete but with tilt.
So, I’m over the range this week with your tips ( thank you) and eliminating that slight sway off the ball I.e more coil 👍 All the best
