The Big Mistake 90% of Golfers Keep making with Driver - EASY TO FIX

  • This is why you might struggle to hit driver straight and long👇
    1. Ball position is in the wrong place
    2. Your forearms are not in line at set up - BIG ONE
    3. Your posture is misaligned at set up
    4. You don't control the club face in the correct way. (This can be a Power Leak too)
    What's great is if you have any one of these faults in your golf swing they are really easy to fix and can make an instant impact on the quality of your ball striking not just with your Driver but with your irons too.
    For example if you want to hit your driver straight just getting the forearms aligned at address will be a real eye opener for you.

    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 CZcams 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!

      @@DanielMaude awwe I was so excited. Yeah they were asking me to send direct message to you for my "free lesson". What a cruel cruel person to play on that. I saw another video today that gave me an epiphany moment that I've never had in golf. I'm so surprised that it wasn't you. because you're pretty much the only person I watch. My son clicked on a video on the way to the range and I think if you did a video showing this exercise you would do it even better. I don't know if I can send you the video through direct message, because I have been playing for 7 years, and this one single video made me play better than I've ever played in my life. I used the technique from that video, and the tiger pause drill, and driver coin drill. And even though I was dying in 100 degree weather I was still hitting better than ever.
      The one last thing im struggling with is how tight to squeeze the club. I'm getting blisters on my fingers and I'm not sure if that's normal, or I'm squeezing too hard. I know I get a lot more distance than all of my mates with my Irons, and I think I attribute it to that but it could be a bad connection. I also notice that my stupid thumb tries together up on top of the club which always makes me hit bad. I'm trying to keep it out of the way. Anyways I was happy thinking I was going to do a lesson with you. Maybe next year when you aren't booked. I'm wondering how we communicate and you watch my swings at the same time. Is it like a face time through the laptop?

Really helping recent one where you said hands put driver up body turns the driver has really helped. A previous one you did with medicine ball throwing out to right was to create arc was such a natural swing thought. Can you do a video where those two come together. Hope you can help. Cheers Gary

My mates have pointed out that I’m aligning my feet and shoulders too far right which I’ve come to realise to be spot on. In other words I’ve been overdoing the draw shape in my head.

    I havnt played in about 5 years or so.i thought my swing was good, but watching some of yr videos made me think otherwise.. the thing I struggle with is how much of a bend to put on my legs. And how far from the ball my feet should be..so I just used to try all methods until I started hitting the ball straight..and then someone came along and said im doing it all wrong..so had to re learn.then someone else come round n said yr doing it wrong..so clubs went in boot and jacked it in..well im back and eager beaver to try again.. so here I am watching you ( the correct way) now I have to learn again 😒 the worst thing for me is people watching me (psychological)...then I get all tense and end up fluffing it. Anyway id love to see you with a cheap set against yr own set to get yr personal opinion... ive paid a little over £400 for my set, darnt go no more incase I cant muster it. But be nice to see a pro hit cheap clubs..people think if they buy better expensive clubs it will make them play better. But thats not the case.. anyway im waffling.. cheers for yr great videos mate.please keep them coming..

    Great video as always Danny 🙂 I think you hit part of my issue with my shoulders. I can hook draw or slice with the next shot. My issue is with how much power I hit the ball with. I can control it pretty well if I dont swing hard but when I do swing harder and think I have it right it goes out of control again. I do believe your correct with my positioning and setup. I am playing at1pm today we shall see. 😄

    I have exactly this problem. Always hit a slice and never a draw. I have had so many lessons from different pros, watched a ton of content too. Yet for me it is totally mental. I start the backswing, the arms take over and I swing over the top. Sometimes I pull a straight shot way to the left but mostly I slice to the right. We have a lot of enclosed tee boxes framed with trees so I cannot start the ball far enough left for my slice so I don’t hit very many fairways in a round.
    I doubt even Danny could fix me because I cannot overcome the need to swing with my arms sadly.

    Danny, excellent video as always. I do have one question for you that no one seems to touch on, which during the setup
what is the proper distance to stand away from the ball? I know when I’m on the course, if I hit a slice or a hook (yes, both happen), I sometimes feel I’m either too close, or I’m reaching for the ball. I believe this can also lend itself to poor ball strikes. Can you mention something about that? It would be good to hear your perspective. I tend to say to myself ‘stay within yourself’ and it reminds me to keep tempo as well as not reaching or crowd the ball. Anyway, thanks again, your lessons really help all of us out here on our own!

    Well I typically don’t enter comments but I must say
.Danny really knows how to put himself in the position of the golfer at piece by piece dissect the problem,cause and solution. I’ve been golfing about 10 years and finally (this year) 
.mostly thru trial and error (often frustrating ) ..figured out my driver. I wish I had this particular video years ago. It covers so much of my golf journey but with clarity and purpose. Will be passing this on to both my sons who continue to struggle with the slice and power leak. Well done. You are a true golf instructor (not just a golf pro).

    Thanks Danny. Great as usual. Quite how I keep 365 swing thoughts in my mind on the tee is my problem. Keeping the shoulders straight is what I'll concentrate on as is seems the more forward the ball the more I turn my shoulders left and slice, especially woods. Please keep the advice coming.

    Exactly my action against slicing. Instead of working the trail shoulder underneath, my swing and feel thought is trail hand under lead hand into the impact zone.

  • @xTheRadioStar
    @xTheRadioStar Pƙed rokem

    I think I also struggle with an overactive trail shoulder. But when you gave the uppercut example it made perfect sense. I just imitated it and felt an 'aha' moment, that this was a component of my swing that I was not executing correctly. I hope I can get 20 more yards too!

  • @Seasunsangria
    @Seasunsangria Pƙed rokem

    In my case, I'm going to think of Danny as a 'Raider of the lost arc!' I used to naturally hit a draw which often turned into a big hook & spent years working on hitting across the ball. Unfortunately, I went completely the opposite way lost & can see from this simple but brilliant demonstration that my forearms are misaligned & my right shoulder is moving away from my body. The image of an uppercut really helps to understand what the correct position should be.
    More than anything, it makes me understand that experimenting with where you hit the ball on the arc is so important in developing your skills.

    I was hitting some draws yesterday. Kept the face square as well. Made me ecstatic since that just really doesn't happen for me. It's helping me keep the ball a good bit lower too. If you saw me hit a 4 iron you may think I was actually just hitting like a long 50degree... It's actually a pretty cool sight to behold. Helps getting over trees(; Though I am trying to get that low shot into my game. If it's windy out I'm in trouble.
