Simple Grip Change to Stop Your Slice - & Hit Driver Straight

- Can a simple grip change stop your slice and help you to hit your driver straight?
You and I both know that a grip change won't have every golfer hitting their driver dead straight but your grip controls the club face and therefore the impact position and small changes can have amazing results.
If you ask yourself questions like how do I stop slicing a golf ball? How do you get a CONSISTENT golf swing? How to hit driver straight?
Then a great place to start is the golf grip. It may not be the complete answer but could provide a wonderful foundation to build a more consistent golf swing.

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 TH-cam 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!

You know what Danny? You are in my opinion the most focused professional on TH-cam. Every video you produce is easy to follow and makes absolute sense when you reach the end of the video. Thank you for your excellent tutorials.
Awesome! Thank you! Really appreciate you taking the time to feedback
That is a factual assessment
This guy is the MAN!
Any + every time I cant find my swing + all over the place, ready to throw my bag in lake- I go straight to his YT channel!
He literally has a video for every swing issue I've had + fixed every single one!
It's almost like I called him up, told him the nightmare results I'm getting + then he does a quick 10 min video addressing the exact issue Im having!!
Quite possibly would have thrown in the towel at this pt., if not for his videos! No BS!
really kind of you to take the time to write Adam, thanks for sharing your results
LISTEN. TO. THIS. MAN.!!
Watched this on Tuesday night. Didn't have a chance to get to a range, but committed to giving it a try right on the course on Friday. I don't think I've hit an arrow-straight drive in 20+ years and I hit 6 or 7 yesterday! Amazing!
Hi Danny - It's so impressive that each week you manage to give us such original and meaningful lessons, explained in such a way that we can try to build the techniques into our own game. It's appreciated very much.
Took this idea to the range on Saturday. Played in a gale both on Sunday and Monday and there was no questions I was a lot straighter. Today I played again and did not miss one fairway. For a 21 handicapper, I was impressed with myself but even more impressed with the lesson that showed me what I was doing wrong. Cheers Danny.
Thats wonderful Scott, well done
Following on from my earlier comment, changing nothing but my grip, my handicap has been cut to 18 following two competitions. Thanks again Danny.
Before I gave up golf because of my big slice I decided to take some lessons.Tried a few different instructors and they all made it so confusing and complicated and I didn't get rid of the slice.
I have tried your very simple explanation and it worked !!!!! In some cases I really think some golf instructors make it complicated so you keep coming back!
This has been an absolute game changer for me. Since taking up golf earlier this year I have been struggling with a terrible slice. I took this one idea to the range today and the results were staggering! I've turned my slice into a draw and added 60 yards! Thanks Danny
Danny, sincere thanks for the ongoing collation of golf videos and tuition. Have got down to five and started fading/slicing the driver and a quick ten min review of the above video has stopped the fade/slice. Even nine months old, this video shows the basics golf grip that is forever handy to review once in a while. Your message is simple, consistent, and easy to follow each and every time, and love the two-minute review at the end of each video. Regards Antony
Danny, I’ve been bingeing your videos for the last few weeks since getting back into golf after 15 years away and thoroughly loved them. The driver is my least confident club and the one I’m working on the most right now. I’m adamant it’s my grip that’s wrong and I think the little mention you made here about making the correction with the _wrist_ not the _arm_, could be exactly where I’ve been going wrong. Looking forward to trying this out on the range!
Have fun Joe
Danny,
I’ve been waiting for this lesson for a while .
Great lesson. This is the foundation of the the golf swing. Good foundation is the key to a good swing. I’ve been Working on the grip recently, and I was certainly on the right track , but this lesson is “the icing on the cake” so to speak. Shows the finer points I needed . May see you up the range again !
Best wishes
Roger
Cool, good luck Roger
JAY OAKS MUSIC really kind thank you
This was the first change my instructor made in my first lesson several years ago and it's my first pre-swing "check", especially with my driver. I love how your instruction compliments my local instruction in every way.
Thank you so much for your videos and drills, Danny. I've been working on them for a couple of months now and my ball striking is so much better. Played my best round ever yesterday, just 16 over with 3 birdies. Heaven!
Yesterday I practiced this grip on the driving range and afterwards while playing 18 holes. I am known as the big slicer, but now almost all the drives were straight. Thanks again Danny! Especially the right elbow thing did the trick I think.
Thats amazing to hear Wim, thank you
Its truly unbelievable, the game changing tips + solutions we're able to incorporate from Danny's swing-correct vids!
Smh- it amazes me every single time, the drastically different results I get from his grip/swing-change methods + exercises!
This is the best instruction for attaining the correct grip I have ever come across especially the tip on placing trail hand 👍
Very kind, thank you Andy. Hope it helps
Thank you Danny you are a great instructor- Teacher
Very instructive. First time I downloaded the pdf of the lesson. I think this is a wonderful addendum to the video. Thanks again Danny!
That’s great, I hope you find them useful. I know it’s not always easy to remember everything from a video
I’m a new golfer and I appreciate the ‘science’ of the game. These subtleties make perfect sense. Will def b trying this ltr at the range. Thx.
Thats great
I was skeptical when I watched this video thinking that it would help with my slice. I tried the next day when I played and it made a huge difference. I still sliced the odd drive but most of them went straighter. I'm a believer now and Danny made it so simple. That's a sign of a good instructor. Thanks Danny!
My pleasure Tom, thanks for giving it a try and then taking the time to come and feedback
Danny:
Just heads and shoulders above the other grip explanations I've seen.
Comprehensive yet easy to understand...and just when I was looking for some grip guidance.
Thanks so much.
We are leading our league this year for 4 out of the first 5 weeks and, at least in my case, that's got a lot to do with you.
Cheers,
Todd
Really kind of you to say Todd, great news about your league position
Lynn’s
This is one of the best swing setup revelations I've ever gotten from a video. I have CONSTANTLY fiddled with my hand positions on the club, and have NEVER realized that in putting my trail hand in the correct position, I have ALSO flared out my elbow, causing either a chicken wing/over the top to control the face, OR a balloon slice when I keep my elbow in to put pressure on the ball on impact. THANK you!
Michael Stefan it’s my pleasure, happy to help
Great video ! Will practice this today at the range, at course on Sunday. I followed your tips for the fairway wood last week and it helped me to be far more consistent with that club in the three rounds I played this week. Hopefully driving will have same results. I’ve never had any instruction, and hit not too bad, but your tips and exercises are helping me a lot.
Morning Dan - Great video as usual. Never in a month of Sunday’s would I have considered the top right arm. Thanks!
Yes, I've been seeing it a lot recently so I thought it would be worth sharing
Thanks for this Danny. Tried to implement changes to my lead hand at the range over the last 2 weeks - BOOM !!!! Oh my god... slice has totally been eradicated and I’m now far more accurate, centre of fairways with more consistency and LONG. Think I even surprised my playing partners this weekend... thanks again 👍🏻
Awesome to hear Craig 👊
the BEST advice on youtube hands down. Simple, easy to understand. Keep it up Danny!!
Thanks Danny...your points on the grip has made a significant improvement for me, especially with my driver shots. I'm hitting all of my clubs better and more confidently. Stay safe and stay healthy...thanks!
You are the first person that really made me pay attention to being instructed how to grip.
All the other instructors just show you how to place the hands the usual way with the V,s
pointing between head and right shoulder but the details you gave here regarding the left and right
hands no one ever mentioned before.So this is another thing I'll have to try Danny,you certainly have a
way of making boring instructions sound very interesting.What can I say Danny U R a Genius
Always appreciate your comments Antonakis, trying to make the grip sound interesting was a tricky one 😁
Trying to fix my slice, I've only bin strengthening my grip with my top hand, changing my bottom hand helped a ton! Thank you!
You are so welcome Dustin
I wasn't planning on watching this video because I figured my slice had nothing to do with my grip. I'm so glad I decided to watch and learn how my right hand was in the wrong position. All it took to fix my slice was rotating my right forearm as Danny teaches. After watching and playing a few rounds - I'm planning on watching every video! My slice is gone and my game is so much better hitting from MY OWN fairway (haha). If you haven't subscribed yet, please do. It's had a tremendous impact on my game. Thanks Danny!
Danny, I've removed every other TH-cam tips and drills channel from my watch list. Every video of yours has helped my game. Time to declutter my swing tjoights and only listen to yours. The way you deliver the information is the best on TH-cam. I wish I could come down to Canterbury and get physical lessons from you.
A genuine, heartfelt thank you
It's my pleasure Mick, if you ever find yourself in Canterbury and would like a lesson just drop me a message at support@dannymaude.com
Cheers Danny, back in the garden with this one....
My pleasure Darren
my native language is not english，I may can’t say how I appreciate accurately but I wish try to thank you mate，this video was really helped me，I’ve been learning to play golf all by myself and the slice bothered me all the time till I watched this video, I solved the problem,thank you sososososo much mate👍
This an absolute masterclass describing the important mechanics of the grip for both the right and left hands... I will keep this video on loop especially when I believe my grip is stating to slip. Very well done, Danny. Really appreciate your perspective and teachings!
This is the best lesson on getting a good grip. Not only has it straightened my ball flight it has allowed me to actually hit a draw and a fade on command because I am starting from a square face. You are a great teacher!!
I’m playing a round tomorrow and I’ll give this a shot. Seems to highlight a mistake I’m making. Thank you!
My pleasure, its often the simple things that make the most difference
Never heard or seen this before, waggled and find clubface open and never knew why!
Bob J hope this helps to square up your clubface at impact
@@DanielMaude cheers will work on it, had lost my golf faith, so will try. Need help with big yips on every putt, even long ones, started this week.
Wow, that’s all I can say. I had to stop compensating for my push after the first 3 holes because the ball kept going straight. Worst drive I had was a baby fade, every other drive was a draw. Thanks Danny!!!
Danny - I needed this grip change as it turns out both of my hands were out of position. After the change though I only saw a subtle improvement. BUT I rewatched the takeaway drill video and the new grip in combination with the proper takeaway have combined to make a very big difference. And neither requires a lot of thought so they should be improvements that I can sustain. Great, fundamental, and clear instructions - thank you!
Danny,
I was getting ready to quit the game that I loved so much. I was becoming very frustrated. I was playing poorly. But I was fortunate to run into one of your TH-cam videos about a month ago and within two weeks I began to make positive strides to improve my game. You are an outstanding instructor.
Perhaps the best I’ve seen on the Internet in years.
Thank you,
Peter
This is the best explanation of why the grip is so important. A day before I saw this latest video, which caught my interest, I did adjust my grip on both hands by personal experimentation to get results in closing the face. I ended up doing what you said without knowing why? My shots are now always going straight or with a slight draw as a result. Kudos for bringing reason to golf instructions. I have had my neutral grip for over 40 years and never considered changing it. In my attempts to close the face by pronating the lead hand I had occasional success but struggled to do it consistently. Now it is easy. Thanks for the great update.
Watching for a second time now. Played yesterday afternoon and had 7 pars in 9 holes. After a lifetime of slicing (I am 70) I finally understand what squares the face and the importance of the grip. I have tried everything else; stance change, flatter swing, rolling my arms, etc. to little long-lasting effect. I was once a 6 handicap, now 11 and even at my age aspire to get back to the lower number. Well done, Mr. Maude.
steve Barnard thanks Steve, keep going, let’s get you back down to 7
This makes complete sense to me. I think a lightbulb just came on in my head.
Hope it helps Simon, good luck
Danny, you've done it again Sir! Cheers for the simplicity in your explaination. Implementing this immediately!!!
YOU ARE AMAZING DANNY!!
I have always sliced the balls on tee offs with the driver or woods (and sometimes with irons). After watching your video I went to the driving range today and then played a round of golf and thanks to you I can now hit the ball straight!! It’s such a great feeling to finally be able to hit a straight ball after all these years! Thank you sooo much!!! 😁
This made so much sense, you described exactly what I do with my right arm. Cars in the garage or I would be heading to the range now. Will beat my playing partner half a dozen times, then point him to this post 😂
Brilliant 😂
I was always taught that for a right handed golfer what you are calling the top hand is actually the bottom hand and vice versa? Had me mixed up for a second Lol,I quess it dont matter,just so you understand the concept :) Just started back playing after a 12 year layoff and just need a reminder of sorts.Im 58 years old and my problem is being able to turn on the ball like I used to.But the added 40 lbs I gained dont help.
Stick in there Troy, you will get it back
Top hand is the one nearest the top of the shaft. Bottom hand is the one closest to the club head.
Good info on the grip positions. Been working on this lately and have seen a great increase in accuracy across the board - driver, fairways, hybrids and irons. Your little tip at the end about starting the face closed and then letting your hand "strengthen" the grip is spot on. Many thanks again for these easy, simple tips.....Better ball striking leads to better distance with shots that land in the short grass!
Absolutely Willie, thanks for taking the time to comment
After a frustrating 9 coming back from injury I watched this video. Appears I lost this basic foundation to playing golf. Thank you. I have recommended you to several friends including several new golfers who are beginning golf in their 50’s. Your style of teaching reaches golfers of all levels! Thank you!
My pleasure, thank you Rich
You are a golfing evangelist. I’m off to the range.
Happy to help Dougie
My six favorite words on TH-cam:
"Lets have a look at this"
L H 😁
After lock down lay off had a big slice. Worked out it was my grip from other videos but ended up fiddling about with grip on the tee. Will try the last bit of advise tomorrow. Great video
Absolutely brilliant! You have the best ways of explaining things and breaking them down for everyone to understand and apply. Cheers Danny!
This has worked wonders!!! I went out to the course and shot a 38 on 9, and an 82 on 18, which is my best ever!! It felt great to have confidence in my stroke and smoke the ball off the tee. I also went out a second time and shot an 86! Those are my two best 18-hole scores ever! Thanks a bunch!
Amazing score Zack, well done 👍
Long time subscriber Danny. I have been having issues this year with my grip w/driver and I seem to have a problem adjusting my grip during my swing with my 4-5-6 hrs. I have been a wreck until your video today. I can't believe how much this has helped today hitting balls to a net in the family room. Driving range here I come Sunday.... My fav, is your video on Bunker play. After watching that video over and over and practicing, I no longer have concerns with Bunker play.
Watched this vid in the morning, and figured that my grip need this tweaking. Just got back from the range...WOW... what huge diff in strike consistency and the direction and length of hits. The right elbow close to body and then turn the right hand worked marvels!! BIG Thanks!!! Great tip, gotta watch more of your vids😁⛳🏌️
Results from the last range session: Great improvement!!! Watching your slice videos... they are absolutely precious!!!! Good job!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I did this a few weeks ago and it greatly improved my drives. Amazing how thee little tweaks work.
Nice work Tala, it really is amazing how small changes can make a big impact
You, Danny, are my saviour - I have the good fortune to live in a country that boasts the highest 9 hole golf course in Europe. The 8th hole is uphill as are most of the others, and there is a narrow neck around the 180 metre mark with water on the right and a wilderness on the left. I occasionally hit a straight one but usually head for the water. Fortunately I bought a 4.5 metre Callaway ball retriever but even more fortunate for me was looking at your video yesterday. So I tried your grip and, by golly it worked a treat. I love your videos.
Jimmy Turner that’s amazing Jimmy great to hear 😁👍
I struggle hitting my long clubs, this video highlights both of my issues! Can’t wait to improve. Seriously great video👍
Glad you enjoyed Adam, thanks for taking the time to feedback
I push, slice, and hook. Could happen at anytime while playing. No rhyme or reason. 20 min in my yard with these tips and you have changed my entire world. All of the sudden the ball is flying in a straight line towards my target and consistently! One thing you said almost in passing in this video that was equally important to me as the grip adjustment was the thought of driving through the shot with my right elbow. I have always thought I was missing a key fundamental of the swing, and now I think you have provided it to me. I can't thank you enough for this!
Brand new to the game and have been working a lot on just basic ball striking. I’m tall (6’7”) and have a problem with topping the ball. Nearly every swing. I initially thought that it was due to my height but this video pointed out a lot of the very errors that I was making in my swing.
I watched this last night and made the changes to my grip at the range this morning along with a tip from another video. The combination made a huge difference - night and day. Much more consistent in striking the ball.
I know the game has a ton of nuance but this single change has made all the difference for me. My frustration level was through the roof but making that small grip change has given me confidence and I look forward to practicing more and getting better. Thank you!
Superb Danny. I’ve had a lot of lessons but none have covered the why’s and wherefores like yours do.
Thank you Ray, I really try to keep it as simple and as actionable as I can
I just found your videos. This specific video has helped me out a ton. Not only did I immediately start hitting straighter...I gained 20 yards of carry. I really like the way you explain the lessons in your videos...very simple and straight forward tips. Thank you!!!
Thank you, Danny! 🙏 I’ve been hitting my ball to the right by the same degree every shot with my irons and this is the video I needed! I would have never thought that the shoulder rotation was the problem!!!!
Brilliant video on applying correct grip for both hands and putting pressure on the ball.
Using Danny's info' the results were first class ! Driving the ball far more solidly. Danny is my favourite instructor.
Thank you for your kind words Ivan
I just made this change at the range. Instant improvement. I've moved from bad shots being a big big slice, to hitting consistent fades, which I can live with. Still work to do on other aspects of my swing, but thanks Danny. Feeling positive about this. 👍👍👍
Thats great John, Stick with and thanks so much for taking the time to share your results
Transformed my game first day out and trying this more than any other single change. And it wasn't just a one day wonder as I have been able to incorporate the "new" grip since. Brilliant. It was the elbow bit you demonstrated that made the difference.
thats brilliant to hear. Thanks for sharing...Uncle Ronnie 😁
This has been an excellent lesson for me! The right elbow position is new as I have always turned my whole arm. Thanks for all you do!
Can‘t thank you enough for all these amazing lessons. My game has been improved a lot i would say mostly because of you. Please please keep up the good work. Really appreciate it. You are the best instructor. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really kind of you, thank you
Hi Danny, I've had a horrid slice (on the next fairway) with almost every drive before today. Having watched this video and downloaded the PDF to look at whilst at the range I have just hit 50 range balls, almost every one went dead straight (bar 2 or 3 when I got tired). I had tried seemingly every video guide on TH-cam, this is the one that really worked. Thank you so much!
My pleasure Leet, really happy to help
That is without doubt the best grip lesson I've ever seen, especially the right hand. I'm naturally left handed so to be able to get the right hand working properly is a big help. Thanks again !!
By far the best explaination of arm/grip positions I've seen - I'm just like student#1 (and I've been looking !). Your tips are consistently the most relevant and best explained golf advice around. Thanks again Danny, I'm off to practice 👍
You are one of the finest instructors of the game Danny.
I think you have just described exactly what I do with my slice, thank you.
Just by going out in the garden and doing what you said in this video I'm 100% this is the cause.
Really happy to help Marc, all the best Danny
You’ve helped me so much already. Only been on the course twice but felt so much more confident the second time around using your tips
That’s great Drew, welcome to the game
Thanks so much Danny, Your grip change was a complete game changer for me. Hit 90% of my drives long and straight in the club comp yesterday (not one slice). So much more confidence to place the ball on tight fairways.
Brilliant detailed explanation, thank you. I have always just used the "shake hands method" to take my right hand grip.
Your ardent follower from India. Seen most of your videos many time over and over. Certainly helped me in every aspect of the game. Keep helping golfers with your nice, simple and easy to follow tips/ instructions. Thanks 🙏 Danny
Thanks Sanjiv appreciate your kind words 😁
Without any practice adjusted my grip as you advised in my round on wednesday. Great improvement with no fades or slices. All I need now is more distance. Many Thanks.
Thats the next video 😁
Exactly what my pro told me at my lesson on Monday about the left hand . Look forwards to your videos on Saturdays Danny best coach on TH-cam 👏👏
Once again Danny you have assisted my golf game tremendously.
Not too long ago I found this other video and this guy was talking about having your back centre belt buckle facing your Target and yada, yada, yada. I tried it because I was trying to obtain more distance. It didn't work for me, but since discovering your video about how to address the ball by lining up with her head behind your hands and your hands behind the ball and now this, with the grip! My drives are straight every time (I line up the correct way). I must thank you once again for making it so straightforward and easy to comprehend.
Unquestionably the best and most valuable grip instruction both online and in books! Have never seen this explanation of the problem I didn’t even know I had! So valuable when your instructions are based around problems you see with your clients. Like me, I’m sure many of your followers identify. Also, any update on a subscription service?
Hi Danny I am a regular viewer of your videos and a slicer! From my perspective this is your BEST video of all of them. The change in my grip has changed how much club I get on the ball now. My drives are straighter and longer. Brilliant tip thank you so much. All the best Trevor
That’s brilliant Trevor, thanks for sharing
Danny, I'm a right-handed golfer absolutely plagued with pushing the ball to the right. That is until I studied THIS video. Who would have thought such a subtle change in grip could make that much difference - it's unbelievable. I am now consistently hitting them straight. A Massive thanks to you!
Great checkpoint I have just checked my grip and looks perfect apart from I have rotated my arm !!! This makes so much sense and hopefully will prove useful in this afternoons game. Need every help I can get as playing my son who got his new driver after a fitting yesterday and he is already miles pass me with his old driver,
See if you can now sneak a few extra yards with this 😁💪
Magic again, little changes do produce a great feeling and postive control. As you said, easy..... thx Danny
Great video. I've been using the 30 degree club face closed set up for the lead hand for years. Really works for me. First time I've seen this shown and explained so clearly.
As always clear and easy to follow advice. Thanks
thanks for sharing Brian
This was the best thing I have tried with results in years! Thank you, Danny!
Pleasure Joshua
Viewed and then downloaded your lesson and went straight to the driving range. I had been experimenting with a different grip and setup and after today’s practice I have completely adopted your suggestions. I have always been a good driver but my irons were the biggest problem. What a difference. Great contact and sometimes a little draw. But the biggest improvement was the hybrid and 3 wood. Nice draws and distance.
Hopefully I can keep it going for my match play on Monday.
Thanks Danny.
Brilliant explanation as usual Danny, My tee shots are the bane of my life just now and the more I try and correct my slice the worse it gets. I think this vides shows me where I've been going wrong. I will try this and it will be added to my now very large collection of your video's. Thanks again!
I really hope it helps Grant, it's certainly a great place to start
I have to say that this guy is FANTASTIC!! I took his advice to the course and have not missed a fairway since. I was consistantly slicing and having to punch out from under the fairway tree-lines. Not only am I hitting the ball straight but I have gained a lot of distance, (probably due to a much more confident swing). Thank you so much for the lessons!!!!!
You are very welcome Dan, thanks so much for taking the time to comment
Danny, I have been twisting my hand round a bit more in the grip and its like magic, not quite confident about adjusting my right arm just yet but will get there, Thank you
Sounds like a great first step John
I have to say Danny that after watching this video I went to the driving range, turned my club 39 degrees to the left then took my stance with that grip (as u said) and I have NEVER hit the ball so well - it was almost scary!! I can’t wait to go to the course! I haven’t told anyone else and don’t plan to until I’ve played quite a few rounds! When I got home my wife suggested we play golf this afternoon. Can’t wait!! I’ll let u know how I go!!
Thnx
Graeme
Lovey to hear Graeme, look forward to hearing how it goes
Thank you Danny I've been following you for a week and a half. Your iron tips have really paid of for me. I've dropped 7 strokes and broke a 100 for the first time. Know I just got to figure this driver out. So thank you for you instructions.
Just tried this out as I am one to overturn my right hand on my grip. Outstanding improvement, I could feel the ball being compressed with my shots. I struck the ball very well today on most shots. Great Video, Thank you.
Amazing to hear, well done
Wow! This is exactly what I've been doing for so long. Super frustrating not knowing where the ball is going to go (usually a huge slice). This tip is going to be a game changer. Thanks Danny! 👍
Danny, I've been struggling for ages with the driver and looked at your driver videos with moderate success.
So I thought, "maybe it's my grip" and revisited this video.
Last time I didn't get it to work, too uncomfortable.
But it turns out, I wasn't doing it correct.
Tried again today, WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!
41 points after hitting some great drives and actually hitting the ball straight in general again with no weak fade!
Can't wait to try it on my next round.
THANK YOU DANNY, keep the great videos coming..
Michael Ayers my pleasure a Michael, and well done for persevering. Some tips/drills can take a little time to get but you kept going...great work 👊🏻
Great videos! What was the thing you said to download?
Danny really...that's pure gold. No one explain that can of things with these important details
My pleasure Jose
Wow. I didnt even find your videos - some old timer joined me mid round - i was slicing it badly. Normally i interally tell random folks offering unsolicited advice where to go, but i thought 'what the heck'. What this guy told me, was to rotate my lead hand over, and grip it stronger. It took a few holes, but by the end it was a little bit better. Then, over the next few rounds, it started to click, and i went from one round of +16, to two in a row of +6 and +7, two of my three best ever rounds - because i suddenly gained 20-30y off the tee, and wasnt playing 1-2 recovery shots on most holes. He then told me, it was a guy called "Danny Maude" on youtube - and yep - it was basically the above video. So danny, your work is having a beneficial impact on players, even second-hand! Brought me here, now subbed, and interested to watch more of your stuff. Was also encouraged by seeing a german comment that "Ive tried Piers and Andy, Ive tried Rick, but YOURS...' - because that disengagement from coaching videos and tips was what i felt too! No longer!
I've worked so hard on my address positron and watched so many grip videos and your the only one to address the rotation of the elbow/forearm in relation to the grip. It's been so frustrating to look down at what appears to be a perfect grip and watch the ball go WAAAY right. This is a real game change for me....THX!!!!!
Another great tip and easy to understand. Tried it out at the range this morning and saw results. I did go to a more baseball type grip instead of the interlocking grip I was using which helped me to get my hands more comfortably aligned on the club. No slice!
Thats brilliant Rick well done
I've been struggling with a slice the last several weeks and trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong on the driving range, and this is a godsend. 'm playing a round later today and will definitely try this. Thanks Danny! Best, Ari
Awesome, let me know how it goes
@@DanielMaude Well, something of a mixed bag. I got a nice fade once or twice, a decent draw once, but also some massive slices. I think I'll have to spend time on the range rather than test it over 18 holes. I think it's a question of reverting to old habits, especially during the second nine. But I will persist! Thanks so much for your help! Best, Ari
Thanks for highlighting something so basic and simple, yet crucial. I've always been told my grip was OK, so didn't think I needed to look at this video. How wrong! After viewing, I checked my grip and realised how inconsistent it was. Sometimes OK, but often, because I'm always concentrating on the position of the club in the hand, I didn't realise the importance of the arm position and its effect on the club head. When working through the drill it seems so obvious. Great tip.
So pleased it could help John, thanks for taking the time to comment
I had so much trouble slicing and hooking a few years ago . I found my grip was a major cause . I now grip like you suggest . Look forward to Saturdays when you post your videos . Always very informative . Still do the palms down warm ups . My Wife always laughs when she catches me . Its all good
When I was shown how to grip a club for the first time "properly", it felt as if I was trying to tie knots with the back of my hands but the more I did it the easier it became, however over time I found my grip started to revert back to when I first started playing so checking your grip occasionally is a good idea, and as usual Danny your little tips are spot on and explained simply and clearly, I'll be rechecking mine tomorrow. Thank you.
