Great video Danny, accuracy off the tee is so critical and more golfers need to spend the time getting this right. Great advice for all handicap levels. Got to make more videos like this, cheers!
The Mr Miyagi of golf makes you sweep the floor instead of painting a fence. Great videos! I love how you keep it simple, offer drills, and always summarize the learnings.
For the broom drill alone, this video is pure gold. It won't be long before I'm heading over to Canterbury and paying you for some lessons. Just incredible Danny, I can't believe my game has been transformed just by watching your videos for a few weeks. Incredible I can't thank you enough.
'Fix the face' is definitely more than a crazy detail for my golf-game. Had severe problems after changing to a single plane swing...adjusting the new distances in my stance and set-up. Your tips helped here hugely. Not only they reminded me on how smart my body is, figuring out ways to solve (tee) problems, I also found, that making a 'gate' with two extra tees right and left helps me to finally square the club face more often. This deteriorated once I went on the course, why I established a new habit to my pre-shot routine: I simply visualized that gate of extra tees and wow: this worked as well for me as the drill at the range:) Thanks for making this video and all your hints, drills and helpful explanations.
@@DanielMaude You say to "square up the club face" but I am missing just how to do that. Could you clarify the process of squaring up the club face? Is it grip? Keeping the lead shoulder closed? I'm a bit lost and a big slicer.
Danny. Took your training to the driving range today and had outstanding results. Thank you so much. Can’t believe no one has picked up on my upper body over rotation before. The broom was the secret!
As always, Danny, brilliant instructions! Most of the time I "pull" the ball left (RH Golfer) which means I have a relatively square club face, but with an out-to-in swing. For a quick check, I tried the broom drill. My neighbor asked me what the heck I was doing? Told him I wanted the neatest lawn in town. Good stuff! (lol!)
Driver video is great, as a left hand golfer, do the opposite. I changed foot positions . Wow long and straight!! Now have to watch on 3 wood , they we’re long and straight, I changed something. Keep up the great video’s . I have been telling my friends!
Tried the pulling the club through and timing and stroke immediately improved! I play of 6 but it always feels I am barely in control, this feels very natural....I am a new fan!
Thank you Danny! I’ve watched you for about 4 months and dropped 5 strokes on my handicap It also helps me to better understand my golfpro instructions, and ask the right questions
I have been fighting slice for many years, many golf teachers and lessons, but, this explanation about swing path finally worked out very well for me. Thank you Danny for your great help.
I knew about the foot powder trick, and using tee guides. I know how important it is to square the club face at impact, no matter what the swing path. But the backhand ball throw is a new drill to try, and when you pulled out the broom, I was swept away. Can't wait to get outside tomorrow to try these out. Thanks, Danny.
Danny - I’ve been learning so much from your videos and your instructional methods have enabled the student to understand the theory and to put it into practice with your drills; when I saw you take out that old broom, I almost lost it! Fantastic, as was the backhand ball throw - amazing how you make us feel the sensation we need to target... Thank you!
Hello Danny...I'm learning soooo much from your videos. After spraying the driver I see that many of my strikes are up at the top of the club. I sure would love your input.P.S. I am a left handed golfer. Thanks!
Danny! This video came to me right on time. My slice was getting out of control recently, but using more of my lower body/hips and hinging my wrist like you showed has all but corrected my slice now. Can't wait to play this weekend. Thanks!!!
Danny, I was at the range yesterday and had slice fever so today I decided to check out TH-cam to see if anyone had some good suggestions. Low and behold I found your channel and I swear you diagnosed my slicing problem and solved it. Thanks and I’ll be forever checking for other great tips. You’re the Man,
Every weekend I look forward to learning from your video. In this lesson, I personally like the broomstick drill. Your drills are truly helpful 💕 Thank you again
Hi Danny. Got to say thank you for this video. Was struggling with my driving and your tips helped me out no end today. Every drive was straight down the middle. Shot 4 over par with 43 points off 11 handicap. Thank you
Okay so ive been golfing for a few months now and i finally got it figured out yesterday... i was hittin like 2-4 / 18 fairways trying to play my slice but watching videos and realizing im susposed to be swinging in to out really helped me and i hit almost everydrive straight yesterday! Also slowed swing down to about 80 percent power and was still consistent around 230-250 yards
Ive also broken 3 drivers which where my grandfathers a ping g15, a red nike vrs, and a king cobra... any recomendations on a strong fairly inexpenisve driver?
Great video. Thanks. I’ve been slicing for a long time and I’m left handed. A lot of golfers tell me I’m using all upper body. But I have lower back issues and limited hip movement. So I couldn’t figure out how to correct my swing. So I’m going to def try your exercises.
I also have back problems and started using a single plane swing -called natural golf- which was pushed by MoeMorman and now by Todd Graves. It is suppose to be easier on the back and you can hitstraighter shots using it. In addition, I switched to a ping G30 driver and hitting 80-90 percent of thefairways and not pushing or slicing shots with the driver. As for instructors, Danny Maude is the best. I have saved many of his tips on how to use the driver, your irons, (he helped me with my irons so I no longer pull my irons by not swinging over the top) and how to move your feet and hips, how to chip and pitch, etc.
Thanks for the video. I couldn't figure out what I was doing differently lately that had hooking and slicing while trying to figure it out. Really helped me.
I've just grabbed the brush and tried it. I'm gobsmacked 😀. It's totally highlighted my incorrect shoulder position. Can't wait to get out on the range 👍
@@DanielMaude hmm, I hit 90 balls and they went everywhere. Some even stayed on the tee 😱. Next time on the range, I'll bring my driver. That brush doesn't strike the ball cleanly 🤣.
your tips are always so useful and so naturally explained. You really changed the way I swing with every club. Thanks for keeping so easy when you teach! 🙏🏻
I found just a slight close of the face straightened me right out so I started aiming slightly right. Weird because as a slicer I had always aimed slightly left. This is a great video to help many and a reminder that I need to close my face just a little. I do love hitting straight.
Hi Danny. Great video. So much to chew on and take to practice. Have so much control of my irons, but driver still has a big right miss. Will work on it with the throw and broom drills especially. Top work from a BCUC lad!
Such a clear explanation to all of the problems that we can cause. Giving me a much better understanding. Thank you. Definitely will do it in stages. Jill
Never thought I'd enjoy using a broom so much! Both that drill & throwing the ball backwards really helps to retrain the brain with regard to the correct swing path.
Great video, was very helpful helping me find the fairway and hit my driver straight... great tip to help activate lower body vs upper body rotation. well done DM
Thank You So much Danny Maude. You are "Dan The Man". Your videos are a Blessing to my golf game. Thanks to you my scores are getting lower. Thanks again God Bless.
Wow! Can’t wait to try this. I’ve been so frustrated with my out to in swing and have been struggling to get the club out. This looks like it could really help. Thanks Danny!
@@DanielMaude I watched the Senior's tourney from Royal St. Ann's! Humidity was pretty high. We have hot humid weather as well. Played in the club championship yesterday, and felt like I was in a sauna!! I shot an 80!! Really rough day!! BUT....MY DLICE IS REDUCED!! THANK YOU, BROTHER!!! 😎😎👍👍
Another excellent video with many easy to follow ideas.Obviously some considerable time will be needed to improve.I like the way Danny makes it clear & easy to follow.Many thanks.I will try & get some dry shampoo as suggested by Ian Kirby.
@@DanielMaude Thank you, Danny. I went to the driving range and hit around 150 balls and there were some fantastic shots I have never played before. There were some push shots too. So I took the driver a little bit straighter on my backswing to correct it ??? However, in overall over 92% of my shots were great.
I have the straight dead left pull down pat. It flies like a bullet and long. I know my shoulders are over active, but the big muscles of the shoulders are where my power originates. I have been tweaking my grip a little to introduce the power fade. Now I have a hard left pull that fades back. Sometimes a simple tweak instead of a complete rebuild is ok too. I just have to be careful not to overcook it. Also with my irons, i changed the lie angle to 2 degree upright which helped quite a bit. Repeatable and consistent is important too.
Thanks Danny, after years of becoming an expert from out from under trees, I now hit 65 per cent of my drives on the fairway. still practising for more consistency but the drills really help especially the broom.
Thanks Danny. Reinforcing some messages I have already and giving a different view is helpful. Already swear by the spray for impact assessment. Also using trackman to review how I’m progressing as I love the feedback of the numbers.
Good morning, Danny. To [Hit the Ball on Line] (a) to the Pin, (b) to the Fairway or (c) to where you want it to go... I (a) Line my [Left Hip] to the Target, [ITB to Hip], & (b) use my [Lower Body Rotation] for the [Swing & Club Head Contact]. To the Point. With [Ease of Motion] it works everytime. Why? My [Coordination & Timing] is focused on the task at hand. Great [Concentration & Attention Span]. Have a great day, my friend. PS: With my [Left Hip for Aim], my [Right Hip] is completely Balanced during the entire Golf Shot. (I'm not concerned about it. It will get the job done.) A Fun Note: Most Obvious: I don't [dog] the ball. I let my [Breath] enjoy the [Rhythm of the Swing]. Great lesson, Danny.
OMG - I got an advertisement of Hank Haney at the start of this video. Sorry Hank, but Danny is so much better for lerning and UNDERSTANDING the golf swing - to kepp it super simple!Just keep going Danny and I skipped Hank... LOL
A lot of detail but explained so well. I've always struggled to hit the big stick but your videos are slowly helping me find more fairways. Guess I'm spending tomorrow afternoon at the range
Hi Gordon, Im also a member of the slicer club ! There are 2 things in particular Ive picked up from Danny's videos that have helped me hit the ball straighter, a) keep lower body stable, focus on rotating the hips during backswing and follow through (I move/bend my legs far too much), b) lower the arc of your backswing (and follow through) - the angle of my backswing was too high leading to the classic out-to-in swing and resultant slice. Im not trying to be prescriptive, just sharing my experience, hope its of use. Cheers, Jeff
Cheers Danny, I am doing ok with all irons being a beginner (3 rdyear) who started with age 48. But with my driver it is erratic. Sometimes I slice, sometimes I hook, i have sky shots (3,2,1 liftoff😅). I have used ball mark tape ;(one day heel, then toe). I am incredibly creative with that club and I have learned a lot about the trees left and right of the fairway. Being an engineer i understand and even believe what you say, Great video as allways, however that club is somehow cursed for me....🤪 I might setup a gate with two teepacks and swing right through the middle. 🤔 Or even better I use some explosive that will detonate if I hit heel or toe. That should teach me........booooooooooooom 🤣 I am still having a lot of fun though... Cheers Christian
Really great video Danny...cant fix it all at once, need to pinpoint the different areas that need work and how to find out the issues, good stuff man, thanks!
I've played for a few years here and there with my dad. Honestly got decent with my irons but had such a severe slice with my driver that i'd typically just hit an iron off the tee to keep from losing all my balls. I watched this video, took it straight to the course today and was driving them 290 yards dead straight. I beat my dad by 2 strokes today which never happened before lol. THANK YOU!
great thanks! Personally my major finds were tee higher and further forward, make sure the club face is square and keep more over the ball with arms closer to body. Easy!!
Great info Danny. Love your videos. For the 2nd step, you said to straighten the club face but didn’t say how. Do we simply open or close the face more at address?
Danny Great video but I keep going back to the start of this video because it's really funny.HEY DANNY MAUDE HERE LOL Your intro to this video sounds like Murray Walker then you very quickly go back to normal lol I love it and I keep going back for more. Great golf lesson thrown in also.
I've just got back to playing golf after 4 years from having a bad accident. All these lessons, and tips are great, to say I can play 18 holes now with no aches, and pains is a great feeling! Keep the good work up mate
Been going to the range to improve weekly, sometimes twice and golfing on weekends as well. I shoot in the range of 45-55. i have watched every one of your driver videos and tried it all so far but no luck. left handed and slice hard left. going to get the foot spray finally and start from step one and see if i can make any improvement. If i were not dropping for 3 off the tee i truly think i would be mid to low 40's. will update.
Spencer Smouse one thing I would start with if you slice is trying to hook the ball, or alternatively imagine putting lots of top spin on the shot like a tennis shot
@@DanielMaude went to the range yesterday. didnt make it past step one after 75 drives but the foot spray is a must have. was hitting off the bottom inside heel. now im center left and hitting it nicely with less slice. still cant hook or hit on the toe even after trying but so far your tips are helping! thanks a ton for these videos again.
Always try to work out my slices with your tips. Always seem to just bottle it just always think in my mind that it's going to happen. Irons, hybrids are straight but drivers teeing off always goes to the right. Only stays on the green if its a big open course. Think it's in my head. Years ago when I was a boy I could hit it straight and have distance on it
Danny, You are by far the best “teacher” on TH-cam. From relaxing the grip in order to create more lag to standing a bit closer to the ball and letting gravity create a consistent chip or pitch I am finally back to a single digit. However, I tend to draw almost all my drives and hit fairly accurately except for the occasional wide right with an open face, or dreaded duck hook. But my irons miss is always to the left but straight as an arrow. So for me, would you suggest less turn with my irons via the broom drill or more turn with a different face angle? Again I cannot tell you how much you have helped me the past two years. Thanks again.
Thanks for the vid, I find them a good in-between lessons guide. I can hit the ball really well with my Pro and at the range in lessons, however I really struggle to transfer it to the tee during play and most often top my Drive, no matter how well I was going during the lesson.
I found this video to be very informative and practical to work with. I like the powder spray, have never seen that before. That explains a lot to me. It seems that there are as many ways to drive a golf ball as there are golf instructors and famous professionals to teach you their personal techniques. But the best method for anything is the KISS method: Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Hi Danny Great video! The lesson you gave me on trying to stop the over the top movement is working incredibly well, I already use dry shampoo on the club face and my driver is coming straight out the middle and dead straight it's awesome! My irons are getting much better to but not as good, I think this broom drill could make all the difference. I'll have too book another lesson with you soon to see if I'm doing it correctly and to fine tune it! Many thanks Kev
Great video Danny, accuracy off the tee is so critical and more golfers need to spend the time getting this right. Great advice for all handicap levels. Got to make more videos like this, cheers!

A Fun Note: Most Obvious: I don't [dog] the ball. I let my [Breath] enjoy the [Rhythm of the Swing].
Great lesson, Danny.
This one helped so much. Immediately hitting straighter!
OMG - I got an advertisement of Hank Haney at the start of this video. Sorry Hank, but Danny is so much better for lerning and UNDERSTANDING the golf swing - to kepp it super simple!Just keep going Danny and I skipped Hank... LOL
Thanks for the support 🤜🏻🤛🏼
The Broom is such a great idea. I am a slicer and hope to fix it now Thanks.
Just what I needed! Again a perfect timing video
The Life Under Par thanks again,
A lot of detail but explained so well. I've always struggled to hit the big stick but your videos are slowly helping me find more fairways. Guess I'm spending tomorrow afternoon at the range
James Harrison brilliant, that’s what I like to hear...look forward to hearing how it goes
Danny Thanks for this helpful advice. Can you say more about how you actually square the club face? I am a slicer.
Thanks
Gordon
change your grip (stronger (rotate hands clockwise if right handed) if you're open and slicing)
Gordon Alexander yes, check out my video on how to hit a draw
Hi Gordon, Im also a member of the slicer club ! There are 2 things in particular Ive picked up from Danny's videos that have helped me hit the ball straighter, a) keep lower body stable, focus on rotating the hips during backswing and follow through (I move/bend my legs far too much), b) lower the arc of your backswing (and follow through) - the angle of my backswing was too high leading to the classic out-to-in swing and resultant slice. Im not trying to be prescriptive, just sharing my experience, hope its of use. Cheers, Jeff
lovely, thanks for sharing your progress Jeff
Jeff Rimmer p
Excellent insight, Danny. Thanks for the tips.
WoWKoest my pleasure, hope you have a great weekend
Cheers Danny,
I am doing ok with all irons being a beginner (3 rdyear) who started with age 48.
But with my driver it is erratic.
Sometimes I slice, sometimes I hook, i have sky shots (3,2,1 liftoff😅). I have used ball mark tape ;(one day heel, then toe).
I am incredibly creative with that club and I have learned a lot about the trees left and right of the fairway.
Being an engineer i understand and even believe what you say,
Great video as allways, however that club is somehow cursed for me....🤪
I might setup a gate with two teepacks and swing right through the middle.
🤔 Or even better I use some explosive that will detonate if I hit heel or toe.
That should teach me........booooooooooooom
🤣
I am still having a lot of fun though...
Cheers
Christian
Having fun has to be the main aim with any game...results will follow
Really great video Danny...cant fix it all at once, need to pinpoint the different areas that need work and how to find out the issues, good stuff man, thanks!
Thanks Daniel, yes this video needs to be taken in bite sizes only
Best drills ever... very kind of you! Best Regards!
My pleasure, this video makes want to get back out and play golf
I can relate to you. Just squared up the face this week. Big difference. I was closed at impact. I untucked my right arm.
Norm Thompson brilliant, hope it went well
Another great vlog Danny mate. Brilliant. ❤️ 👍😂
William Parke thanks again William, hope you are having a great weekend
I've played for a few years here and there with my dad. Honestly got decent with my irons but had such a severe slice with my driver that i'd typically just hit an iron off the tee to keep from losing all my balls. I watched this video, took it straight to the course today and was driving them 290 yards dead straight. I beat my dad by 2 strokes today which never happened before lol. THANK YOU!
That’s seriously cool 🤜🏻🤛🏼
Excellent video! Many thanks Danny!
Kan Parekh my pleasure Kan, thanks for the feedback
great thanks! Personally my major finds were tee higher and further forward, make sure the club face is square and keep more over the ball with arms closer to body. Easy!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Great stuff Simply explained. Thank you 😊
My pleasure Bill, thanks for sharing
Great info Danny. Love your videos. For the 2nd step, you said to straighten the club face but didn’t say how. Do we simply open or close the face more at address?
Good point, just get the feel of it closing and opening, feel it without a ball first then gradually add the ball
Danny Great video but I keep going back to the start of this video because it's really funny.HEY DANNY MAUDE HERE LOL Your intro to this video sounds like Murray Walker then you very quickly go back to normal lol I love it and I keep going back for more. Great golf lesson thrown in also.
Michael Dickinson funny, I do don’t I 😂😂
I've just got back to playing golf after 4 years from having a bad accident. All these lessons, and tips are great, to say I can play 18 holes now with no aches, and pains is a great feeling! Keep the good work up mate
Must be amazing, thanks for sharing
Cheers Danny another great instructional video .look forward to Saturday morning
Wattie F Thanks Wattie, have a great weekend
I quit my golf lessons because I’ve learned more from your videos on here. Plus my golf instructor was too hands on if you catch my drift.
I'm James well I hope these videos continue to help
Danny Maude I’m sure they will. Thanks for all the advice and tips.
Been going to the range to improve weekly, sometimes twice and golfing on weekends as well. I shoot in the range of 45-55. i have watched every one of your driver videos and tried it all so far but no luck. left handed and slice hard left. going to get the foot spray finally and start from step one and see if i can make any improvement. If i were not dropping for 3 off the tee i truly think i would be mid to low 40's. will update.
Spencer Smouse one thing I would start with if you slice is trying to hook the ball, or alternatively imagine putting lots of top spin on the shot like a tennis shot
@@DanielMaude went to the range yesterday. didnt make it past step one after 75 drives but the foot spray is a must have. was hitting off the bottom inside heel. now im center left and hitting it nicely with less slice. still cant hook or hit on the toe even after trying but so far your tips are helping! thanks a ton for these videos again.
Great video, that will help me when my draw sometimes turns into a hook. Something for me to work on.
Thanks so much for your tips, improved significantly my game
my pleasure Reginald, thank you for the feedback, really appreciate it
Great explanation! It all comes down to the coordination of one's boy or total body harmony during the up and down swing.
Edward G it does indeed Edward, thanks for sharing
Love the throw ball drill and broom to cure slice!!
Eddie Du thanks Eddie, love to hear how you get on
Always try to work out my slices with your tips. Always seem to just bottle it just always think in my mind that it's going to happen. Irons, hybrids are straight but drivers teeing off always goes to the right. Only stays on the green if its a big open course. Think it's in my head. Years ago when I was a boy I could hit it straight and have distance on it
Stick in there Liam, you will get it
Danny,
You are by far the best “teacher” on TH-cam. From relaxing the grip in order to create more lag to standing a bit closer to the ball and letting gravity create a consistent chip or pitch I am finally back to a single digit. However, I tend to draw almost all my drives and hit fairly accurately except for the occasional wide right with an open face, or dreaded duck hook. But my irons miss is always to the left but straight as an arrow. So for me, would you suggest less turn with my irons via the broom drill or more turn with a different face angle? Again I cannot tell you how much you have helped me the past two years. Thanks again.
Joseph Marolla is recommend the broom drill, thanks so much for the comment and keeping me updated on your progress
Thanks for the vid, I find them a good in-between lessons guide. I can hit the ball really well with my Pro and at the range in lessons, however I really struggle to transfer it to the tee during play and most often top my Drive, no matter how well I was going during the lesson.
My pleasure Steve, hope it helps your ball striking
Excellent Danny. Really simple
Glad you like it!
I love your lessons...I'm fairly consistent...but lost some swing speed...and therefore, distance. age and flexibility wreck havoc on distance!
If you are able to keep up with daily stretching and strength training it can really help
I found this video to be very informative and practical to work with. I like the powder spray, have never seen that before. That explains a lot to me. It seems that there are as many ways to drive a golf ball as there are golf instructors and famous professionals to teach you their personal techniques. But the best method for anything is the KISS method: Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Joe Palooka love it Joe...KISS
Greasiest tips ever Danny enjoyed it very much will be practicing these thanks so much for what you do
Terry Holloway my pleasure Terry, only focus on one of the points in the video. Take sometime with it before you move on 👍
Hi Danny
Great video!
The lesson you gave me on trying to stop the over the top movement is working incredibly well, I already use dry shampoo on the club face and my driver is coming straight out the middle and dead straight it's awesome!
My irons are getting much better to but not as good, I think this broom drill could make all the difference.
I'll have too book another lesson with you soon to see if I'm doing it correctly and to fine tune it!
Many thanks
Kev
Kevin Crittall thanks Kev, keep me posted...I love the broom drill

Excellent information. Thank you
