- How to hit your driver straight - How do you get a CONSISTENT golf swing?
In this weeks golf instruction Im going to show you how in less than 15 minutes we were able to help a recent student James stop slicing the golf ball and hit his driver dead straight...
James still sliced the odd one throughout the session but with the 3 simple golf tips I gave him he knew what he was doing wrong and was able to instantly stop his slice and return to hitting the driver straight and far.
I know you could do this too.

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!

3, How to get the correct impact position with driver
Hope you enjoy - กีฬา
"I wasn't a magician!!" LOLOL He is a brilliant teacher. His ability to break a complex topic into simple steps. Thank you, Mr. Maude.
Really kind thank you
Danny, I’ve seen hundreds of videos on the driver. This video is absolutely the best explanation of the driver swing I will ever see. In fact, I’m deleting every driver video I’ve saved and replacing them with this one. Cheers to you, Danny. Well done.
I love that you base your videos about someone you were teaching and a success story.
Yes, that's where all my material comes from 😁
Ive been playing golf for about 10 days. 7 days of driving range and 1 18-hole round of golf and broke 100 my first try. And its because of Dannys videos. Thank you so much
For me (who has struggled with swing path and ball control consistency) this shoulder, arm and hand explanation has just made my day. Of all the ways the grip and swing path has been explained over the years by others this has to be the last one ever discussed. Danny, you have taken the "Pressure" off of me and now I know where, why and how to use it. If ever in SW Florida I would love to play a round with you at my Club. Drinks and Dinner are on me. Cheers!!!
Hi Danny. I stopped playing golf for 10 years - family took over - but came back a few months ago. Generally avoided my driver in favour of my trusted 5 wood which is 95% safe 200+ yards. Recently been trying my driver with awful right push but straight (30 yards right) and right slices (40 yards curved right). I put your grip and face squaring suggestions to use in the driving range last night with some excellent results. Still had one or two moderate slices (30 yards right of target), but out of 20 drives 16/17 were either dead straight or only ~10 yards off track right. Lots more practice required because the grip felt uncomfortable, but I actually felt great about working more on this.
The greatest golf coach on TH-cam 🏌🏼♂️
Thanks for all the support David 😁👍
All praise completely earned 👍🏻
Hopefully I could grab some lessons with you when things are a little easier?
Best advice on hitting the driver straight.. anywhere on youtube. I have been bowing the left wrist right away during transition. It also helps to tuck in right elbow automatically.
Thank you John, happy to help
Danny's videos are the best on the youtube. Many thanks.
Really kind, appreciate the support and feedback
Hi Danny .... Greg from South Africa I must say this video changed my game completely I went from slicing the ball to a beautiful fade..and hitting the ball much further..thank you so much.
Thats brilliant to hear Greg, thanks so much for taking the time to share
Best explanation of the faulty biomechanics of the right UPPER arm Danny
Thank you Philip happy to help
Thanks Danny! By far the best golf instruction channel on TH-cam.
Wow, thanks Adam. I know there are some great coaches here on TH-cam
The best teacher on the Web, you are able to explain things in the most simple way. Your channel has taken 5 shots off my handicap over the last 12 months
Look forward to each video Danny,
That’s amazing to hear David, thanks so much for sharing
thnx Danny this video regarding the grip and how the trail hand works is the only video on youtube that made it understandable and with practise it made a difference right away! thank you so much !
You are very welcome Edward
So I played last Saturday and it wasn't great but I kept practicing your drill and this past Friday I played with my friend and his wife and I couldn't believe the difference. His wife said my swing looked so smooth and effortless. I later showed her your video where to talked about helping your wife with the 3 keys and she loved it. I suggested she subscribe and I think she will. I am starting a week of holidays and have at least 5 rounds planned. Thanks again Danny and keep up the good work.
Really well explained without getting too technical but tackling all the problems for the average person to understand. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Joao
On behalf of all of us hackers, thanks Danny. I'm a 12.8 handicap and haven't broken 80 mainly because my tee shots are so erratic - great some days, awful on others. You have given me hope. Simple, clear imagery that resonates with me (and many others I expect).
That’s great Steven, I really hope it helps your golf game 👊🏻
Watched your video. Went to the range and hit a large bucket of balls. Almost no slicing after changing my grip. Can't ask for better results than that. I just subscribed and will practice step two next. Thank you.
Hi Danny
Your video on the one pice takeaway was fantastic. Your concept of Co ordinated takeaway was so well explained, it painted a picture in my mind so vivid I got home took out my SW and started to practice it in my living room. Moving the arms and body together felt so alien at first. Which was all the proof I needed I havnt been doing it probably ever.
But that first move is all I have tried so far. But every tiny follow through produces a crisp clean connection with the ball.
Most productive 15 minutes of my golfing life
Big big thank you Danny
Thats amazing Jonathan, thanks for sharing
Nice! The free PDF practice guide is an awesome addition.
Hope it helps Tony
Over 30,000 views Danny....says it all really. You are clearly the online pro that helps all us recreational golfers play better, by making it simple, clearer to understand and most importantly giving us the right thoughts and images to take to the course! I'm only in Surrey, I must get to Canterbury for a lesson with you one day!!!
Thank you Owen, would be more than happy to have you come over. I coach quite a few students from Surrey
@@DanielMaude one day for sure!! Would love your critique on my swing. Do you do playing lessons?
Adding the “why” really helps. Thanks again Danny.
My pleasure Ray, all the best
Thanks Danny I’ll try this drill it’s creating enough room for my hands to go through my pro has told me I’m on my left foot toes not my heel and I’m blocking my hands coming through thanks I’ll let you know how it goes .Barry
You the man Danny. Thank you.
sam sam all the best Sam
Found you You Tube site several months ago and I love it. Seems like every week you are talking directly to me and to my swing problems. I love you, man! The practice plan that i always print, is also a great idea. Thanks again.
Thats great to hear Ron, thanks for letting me know
Your videos are only getting better and better, although they were already excellent! Thanks Danny!
Wow, thanks! Really appreciate it
Hey Danny, thanks for this lesson. I started struggling again with my driver mostly with skying the ball. With keeping my right shoulder back I was getting more club face on the ball and hit some beautiful drives with greater distance with seemingly less effort. Throwing my right shoulder forward was my biggest problem and this video really helped. Thanks again!
Loved this video. I put these tips into practice and had some really good results and started hitting some straight off the tee. I honestly can say even just the tip of rotating my leading hand away from the target has helped me.
Cheers Danny.
Truly an excellent presentation of some very basic mechanics. For beginners, priceless information. For more experienced golfers some good images of how to get the swing and club back on the proper path when going through a "tough patch".
Glad it was helpful George, thanks for commenting
Danny, your videos are fantastic. Last week's video helped me massively! Cleaner contact, beautiful ball flight and approx 15-20 yards extra with a tidy little draw. I was losing hope with my game but thanks to you I'm so much more invested, playing better and more importantly, I'm happy playing golf again. Keep up the good!! I owe you a good few pints pal
Simply the best (as the lady sang) Danny, this and your other driver videos have fixed my horrendous slice, I am loving my golf again!!! Many thanks!!
Thats brilliant, so pleased for you
Absolutely brilliant. Your videos are always about where I am struggling with my game. Was working on sqauring the club face with my hands and your video this morning put the thought into practise. Hit all my drives on the fairway today and boy does that make you feel good. Stay safe
Such an amazing feeling isn't it 😁👍
Love this video, with the full explanation as well it makes it a lot clearer. Just what I needed as been suffering with driver after lockdown. Good drills to work on before next game.👍
Really pleased to hear Paul, thanks for sharing
Great Video Danny, I'm gonna practice this on the Range today, also your 'How To Hit Your' Iron Videos they have had an instant impact on my Swing and I'm hitting the ball straighter, further with every shot, I feel more flowy with my Swing every time I'm down the Range, Thank you Danny
Your timing couldn't be better Danny as I have recently been having a nightmare with slicing my Driver. Just printed off the Practice Plan as will be going to the range tomorrow. Can't wait. Thanks so much!
Brilliant, hope it helps
Danny, spectacular!!! Thank you so much!
I apologize for re-posting a comment but this advice has been a complete and total game changer for me! My slice has completely disappeared, gone. Distance ratcheting up with each game played as my confidence in the swing is increasing. This advice on rolling your wrists a bit instead of shoulders is also working magic with my irons too. Played my best game ever yesterday! If I didn't live 5,000 miles away, (not kidding its about right, I googled it), I'd book a lesson today!
So good to hear Paul, so pleased your game is improving. Thanks for taking the time to write
Keeping it simple as always. For most golfers of my age putting “straight” on the ball is a big advantage so these tips are going to help no end now I can understand what I’m doing wrong. 👍
Happy to help Fred
Danny, I love the addition of the Trackman, now I can see the flight of the ball. Thanks
Thank you Jim, its a great bit of kit
Ù_ xxx a
I just started golfing so I've been watching all of your videos almost religiously the past month or so, love how you added the Trackman and your tips are always visual and easy to follow. Can't thank you enough Danny, I'll take some one-on-one training if you're ever in St.Louis :D
You are very welcome, glad to hear the golf lessons are helping
@@DanielMaude I can only like your videos so many times, quit being so cool
Can't wait to try this at the range! Thanks for the positive instruction.
You are very welcome Jack
Danny, literally played my 10th round of golf today in my entire life, just started playing May 12th of this year. My scores are 96,96,94,89,87,86,85,85,84,83,and today already achieved my goal of 80. Told guys at the course when I first started 80 is my goal. I thought this would take years to achieve. I feel as if I might be able to make playing into something. I’m sure I’ll hit a plateau around 75 but 16 strokes in 10 rounds that’s unbelievable. Basically only lessons I have is watching you and 2 other channels on TH-cam.
Thats amazing, well done
Wow!! Your first ever round of golf without any coaching was under 100!!??? And now you’ve broken 80 in a dozen rounds? At this rate you’re gonna be a tour player in two years!! Lol that’s gotta be better than 99% of people who have ever played golf. Either you’re a natural in the truest sense of the word or you and your buddies are ultra generous in your scoring.
Haven't watched your vids in a while, but went golfing yesterday and am back to watching them, ha..
Thanks for putting this quality info online for free, we all appreciate it!
I also think it's awesome that you reply to a lot of your fan's comments - thank you and go England!
Welcome back Hans, hope you are having a good start to the weekend
Thank you so much! I have watched hundreds of videos trying to correct my slice and tried many things. I have started from the basics including correct grip videos. No one before you has ever told me to turn my hands/grip to correct my slice. on my own I have tried to turn my right hand but never the left. I will be trying this today! it seems to make a lot of sense! I will let you know! Thank you again!
Okay, so my miss is always left, especially with the driver. I played today for the first time since watching your video and employed your recommendations. 100% of fairways hit and basically long, straight drives. Danny, your instructions are the best because they really work! Thank you.
Spot on Danny! Thanks for keeping it simple.
My pleasure Bradley
Great stuff Danny, you are No 1 when it comes to teaching, love the videos, thanks Danny.
Michael Dickinson very kind Michael, thank you. Hope the golf lessons are helping
@@DanielMaude Played one of the best Par 3 courses in Ireland on Fathers Day got 4 birdies 10 Pars finished 3 over my best score ever . Really enjoy your lessons Danny, they suit all levels of golf, not just the beginners , cheers Danny.
love watching your video's they are of great help,thanks danny
Inconsistent is my problem Danny need this 3 step plan 👍
Hope it helps your golf swing Mick
Had a few lessons in my time, and listening to you talk about pressure on the ball, was the final piece of the jigsaw for me. Had lessons from three different people over the years all of the three very good coaches, but now remembering back to what they told me to do and now adding the info from this video it now all makes sense and all the info has clicked into place. I just now need to put it into practice.
Dave Spratt that’s brilliant Dave!
Your videos have helped me so much the way you explain things just make it simple I'm now hitting my driver straighter than ever thanks Danny👍
Amazing to hear Justin 😁
Another top Video Danny boy. Practice plan is brilliant.
Great tips Danny ! My teacher told me exactly this and now I am not slicing anymore ! You have just validate it ;-) Keep up on your great videos ! Cheers from France
Excellent! Thanks for sharing
Great lesson Danny.
Thank you Allan 😁
again you give us another great video this will go a long way in getting me to stop putting on a slice to my drives thank you Danny
Went to the range yesterday, looks like I will be going back tomorrow. Thanks for the awesome vids
Good luck! Glad you enjoyed it
I started changing my grip in my first game after the video came out and its worked wonders for me, yesterday in a betterball comp my claim to fame was on the 11th which off the whites is 521 yds par 5. The drive off gets to a small dog leg in the fairway and over a ditch, i got to 20yds from the ditch then with a 5 wood over and up the fairway then with a 3 wood using your step right video onto the edge of the green and down in 6 , not bad for a27 hcp.
Once again thanks Danny for your video lessons
Thanks as always Danny. The course is looking lovely, the sun is out, the birds are singing. Hallelujah golf is back !!
Golf is absolutely back, so nice
A brilliant explanation, so easy to see where I have been going wrong. Thanks Danny
That’s great Fred, all the best
Clear and easy to follow instruction as always! Thanks a ton, Danny!
My pleasure! 😁
Great advice, the grip suggestion has helped so much. Thank you Danny!
My pleasure Richard, happy to help
Thank you sir,helped me a bunch
You answered my question from about 3 weeks ago! Nice one Danny! Another amazing video!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great lesson Danny on where to look for more consistent hitting of the driver. As one who has moved from a serious slicer to more of a strong fader (still not fully controlling the shot shape), these pointers are great for getting solid swing thoughts by working in steps. One thing many do not realize is it is a step by step process. Thanks again for solid teaching on how to get better - also love that caveat of "Yes, your old habits will try to take back over" Too many want to think it's one and done. In golf, its one and one more and one more and one more, as it is a lifelong process of continuous improvement. As any gain, whether small or large, is huge.
Hey Danny. I'm fairly new to your channel and I've finally gotten around to applying your tips to my game. I'm 6'5 and weigh over 250 lbs so therefore friends that I play with always expect me to have that crazy long drive and all I would have for them is a huge banana slice that would often times end up either in the woods or way off the fairway. We played as a foursome yesterday and I applied your 3 steps and really zoned in on my grip. OMG, were they ever surprised, as was I !! I think I hit three 'mild' slices during the entire round! The fact that my ball traveled a mostly straight line enabled me to out-drive them all by 20 to 30 yards every single time! I am literally over the moon! I am now about to look at your video on the proper transfer of weight and I can't wait to apply that also. I cannot thank you enough for this lesson and I can guarantee you that I will be a regular from hereon in! Cheers from Canada!! Stay safe!
Thats brilliant, well done 😁 Thanks for sharing your results
I always find your videos really helpful Danny' I've shared a few with friends the feedback is your clips are informative and easy to understand keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing Derrick, really appreciate it
Love my Saturday morning lesson Danny 👌
And love filming it Malcom, thanks as always for the support
Danny...when my swing gets off, I always come back to your channel for help. I appreciate your teaching style and making swing mechanics easy to understand. I suspect most who love this game can relate to what you are teaching. You have a gift and I'm thankful that you are willing to share. Cheers
Really kind thank you
Great video Danny. Watched the video twice. Headed off on a round. A slice with the driver I have had for years disappeared instantly just off correcting my grip. 👍
Amazing, well done Clayton. Thanks for taking the time to share
Thank you so much, I have been leaving the club face open and never knew why and more importantly how to fix it. Just been to range and turning ball from right to left using the feeling of turning the club face closed through impact. Look forward to your videos every week, thanks again.
You're very welcome!
Really good explanation Danny! I used to be a slicer and yet I was conciously doing the 3 steps you describe. I discovered that my fault was at the top of the backswing where I wasn't aware that I was cupping my wrists and opening up the clubface! So although I then conciously tried to swing in to out and apply pressure to the ball and turn the wrists I was still slicing because it wasn't enough to compensate for the wrist cupping in the short time it takes for the downswing. Once I stopped that my drives where straight and longer!
This was an excellent explanation, thank you. I aways struggle with the open face, your demonstration on the wrist mechanics is brilliant. Off to the practice area I go 👌
You're very welcome!
Purple driver shaft!! You got my attention mate!! Great piece of instruction too 😀🏌️♂️🙏
It’s a pretty cool shaft isn’t it
@@DanielMaude What shaft is it?
Love your videos. Simple, easy to follow advice. I have historically been a slicer but have SLOWLY improved and now I waver between slicing, hooking...and sometimes hitting straight. I'm going to check my grip as you recommend and I like the imagery you talked about in this video of putting "pressure" on the ball with the tennis racquet prop. I am guessing that my occasional vicious hooks are simply a result of over compensating for my nagging tendency to hit a slice and closing the club face too much through impact.
Thanks Danny, lately I've been slicing all my clubs or hitting them dead right More than likely it's my grip.... Need more knuckles! Your grip explanation and visuall is so simple! 💡 Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for all your wonderful tutorials!
My pleasure ~Doreen, thanks for taking the time to comment
Excellent thank you Danny much appreciated
You are very welcome John
Many thanks Danny - another great lesson, a very timely one for me as on my last couple of rounds (just on two or three holes), I've developed an ugly hook seemingly from nowhere! The problem being I didn't really know the cause nor have a reference point to correct it - which I do have now. Like all your subscribers I'm so impressed & grateful that every week you're able to deliver us such meaningful and original lessons.
It’s my pleasure David, have a great weekend
Great drills again Danny, going to work on this today then put it into practice when I play tomorrow, great video as always 👍
Cool, good luck 😁
Absolutely tremendous instruction Danny, very well explained, great stuff 👌👍
Thank you Charlie, really appreciate it
Great instructions, I am going to apply it not only to my driver but iron shot. Thank you!
That’s great 😁
Great refresher for me Danny, as me and the big stick have started to fall out again, and I don't want to shy away from pulling it out! Big hook creeping back in so these 3 simple check points made a lot of sense - Thank You!!!!
Really hope so Owen, have a great weekend
Quality training video. Very clear understandable instructions. Thanks. Will be on the range today practicing. 👊👍
Great to hear! keep me posted
Just been to the range, came back and downloaded this lesson plan straight away. Fingers crossed these tips do the trick! Cheers Danny
Let me know Matt 😁
@@DanielMaude worked wonders pal. Thank you very much. Getting little draws when I strike it well. You're a⭐
Thanks again Danny
My pleasure, hope it helps
You Make it simple and make sense .... Thanks Danny
You are very welcome Cahyo
Thanks Danny, I had been working on this, your input was very helpful as always, thanks again!
You are Very welcome!
Thx for the tip. Helped my drive an iron's.
Great Lessons!
Thank you Ranjan appreciate the feedback
A very timely video tutorial for me. I've very recently slowed my swing down and made some adjustments such as these but had been working on creating lag which for the most part has been working, this little video is hopefully the cherry on the cake for me. As always Danny, simple and effective drills making it easy to understand and replicate, thanks once again.
You're very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to comment
Good morning. Another Saturday and another great lesson. I look forward to my Saturday’s with Danny. Off to the range and course to see if I can find improvement. Thank you.
Hope tit went well 😁
you are a tremendous teacher
Thats really kind Eugene. Thank you
Hi Danny. Great video. Took these tips out onto the course today and striking the ball so much better and also straighter and longer. Many thanks 👍🏌
Thats brilliant Rob, well done
Danny thanks so much. I play off 7 but for some reason I was slicing so much I got to a point I almost give up. My grip is all it was. Thanks my man. Luv the vids!!
Brilliant, thanks for sharing
This is soo good Danny! I have been playing for 28 years I never knew why the hand had to be in a strong position until you broke down the hands hanging down and matching that up! Makes complete sense but no one ever broke it down to that level. Now I understand! Thanks
Thats great Bill, let me know how you get on
Thanks great Vid , helped me tremendously so simple
Superb instruction again Danny, very helpful
Glad you enjoyed it Carl, thanks for commenting
Been golfing with over year with slice. Bowed left wrist like Danny said and completely removed slice. Great video
Great to hear Wilson 👍
Excellent as always Danny, will try this next time on the range
Hope you enjoy
Looks like a great product. Would like to try it and share with my golf buddies
Another fantastic tutorial Danny. Thank you.
You are very welcome Mark. Glad you liked it!
After some practice in my net, took to course today. Brilliant, easily hitting in 15% further today. Not just driver, but all the clubs. Can also feel I can control the shape more easily, especially with a neutral swing 👍👍
Fantastic! Good work
Thanks Danny helped enormously I understand what you mean in your explanations
Great to hear!
