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 KZhead 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 it's 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!

This golf lesson provides a couple of wonderful drills to help you hit your driver straight.If you are a beginner golfer and are looking for some golf driver tips that are simple and easy to do then you are going to love this.
I will show you the golf swing slow motion so that you can see what you need to do to improve.
We look at 3 things:
1. How to stop slicing your driver
2. How to swing more in to out or how to swing more inside out
3, How to get the correct impact position with driver
I would never share this or any of your other videos...I want to win against them!!! Ha! Your teachings are simple and to the point. Thanks.
Thanks for the support JP
I like your teaching, easy and to the point 🫢✅
Danny you’re the best on KZhead. Such a smooth, effortless swing and you’re able to teach without over complicated drills or language. Thanks!
Really kind John, thank you
Used this drill yesterday on the course and it worked immediately - straight and long. Ball contact was also excellent. Thank you Danny, as always!
You are very welcome Willie
@@DanielMaude Hello, teacher. Can I share your video on the homepage of my other video platforms?
Hi Danny, your last few lessons have really made a difference for me. Why? Because you’ve taken the basic elements of the swing and described them in a very understandable way that readily translates onto the practice range and course. Moreover, these latest lessons are congruent with all of your previous instructions. So helpful. Thank you and blessings.
Thank you, I really appreciate that
Great drill, great video. Your online coaching and golf swing explanations are some of the best out there. Thank-you Danny!
That’s really kind Mark, thank you for taking the time to feedback
This week’s lesson is an absolute golden example of Danny’s entire style: simple yet powerful. I’m playing my first round in 2 months on Monday so hoping to try this out at the range ahead of the round. Thanks as always, Danny!
Thanks so much for the support Brady
Brilliant lesson Danny. I’ve used this drill in the past for tempo but never really thought about why it worked or how to use it to evaluate proper balance. So obvious once you explained it. Thanks for all you do for the golfing community!
Thank you!
Hi Danny, I love your unpretentious and straightforward teaching style. You make it seem easy to improve the golf swing, and you're the only golf instructor I watch on KZhead. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the support Martty appreciate you taking the time to comment 😁
😅
Loved lesson. Always struggle with driver, and i play alot. Took this to course yesterday had my best round in months. After drive i used it for every shot that day. Lot better contact lost hardly any distance. Will keep playing like this for now. Thanks danny
The #1 golf training tip I have rcvd!!! I took 5 strokes off of my game yesterday. Thanks Danny for all your videos...
Thank you Desnel 😁
I believe that we all feel a strong pull inside of us to become a person of value, someone who makes a difference in people's lives. Danny Maude you have become such a regular part of my life for the past few years that I would TRULY be devastated if you stopped making videos. Thank you for providing quality content to those of us who cannot afford to do lessons with a PGA professional. I just felt compelled to tell you that I think you are an amazing coach and you make the best content on youtube with so much new content. You know what else, I bet that 99% of your followers feel this exact same way! Thank you for being you!!!!
That’s so kind of you to say David. I really love coaching, thanks for taking the time to write, means a lot 🙏
A Saturday without your videos is a given away Saturday. Perfect to realise again!!
Thanks so much for the support
I used this drill before I started my round yesterday. 2 under my handicap. Will use it always now before a round of golf. Will see if I can improve more tomorrow Danny 😊 Thanks for your videos they are fantastic
Tried this feet together drill this morning at range. Was seeing much better consistency with swings with all clubs. Best I have swung driver for ages. Thanks
Well done Graham!
Bloody marvellous!! So simple, yet so effective. This will end up being one of my "go to's" Thanks Danny.
Danny - I watched this video yesterday before my first round of the year in Minnesota. I had been struggling with my driver on consistency and length. This video (along with the previous one on go slow to go fast) helped me shoot my first 73 (+2). Beating my personal best by THREE strokes. I was either in the fairway or just off. All my irons were struck great. I am looking forward to getting out of the 80s and into the 70s more this year thanks to your videos. Please keep them coming!!! Thank you!
Well done Phil happy to help and plenty more videos to come 😁
Hi Danny My post is nothing to do with today’s video but a follow up to one a few weeks ago with your Leo and the towel drill leading to longer drives. Decided to try it out during my usual Wednesday game concentrating on high hands on the backswing and then whipping it down to the ball. I noticed three things: I was hitting it further, consistently outdriving my playing partners and on one occasion by 30 yards. One of my partners, who plays off 4, wondered out loud if I’d been bodybuilding! On one hole my drive measured 255 yards. Now, given the cold air temps and the very soft fairways, that’s not bad for someone nearing 69 and stands at 5’4”. Think what I could do in summer temps with the fairways firm. My target must be 280+? I was hitting the ball STRAIGHT! I believe with my previous ‘safe’ drives, I was getting ahead of the club maybe, leaving the clubhead behind me and therefore the face might be a bit open leading to a fade, a BIG fade or…..the gorse bushes!! I was actually hitting the ball down the left of the fairway this week probably because at address I was closing the clubface slightly to conteract the fade. So, the ball wasn’t going everywhere! The brain takes over and adjusts. I was just letting it go! The ball flight was much higher, with the ball in the air for longer. Again, if I’m not getting ahead of the club I feel I must be hitting up on the ball much more leading to a better ball flight?? I have read posts from your subscribers who have got so excited at doing this or that on the course after following your video tips. I can now understand how they feel! It is SO exhilarating! So, if any of your subscribers managed to read to the end of this post, please just give it a go, you’ll be amazed. Thanks Danny. Grahame
Thanx for that graham I can't get out yet but I am practicing the towel drill in the garden with hands high, I've wanted someone to endorse it around my own age and height thank you so much
Just 'let it go' Arthur! I was playing it too safe in trying to hit the ball up the middle. Now I only concentrate on generating that speed. And it works! Try it and have fun. Grahame @@arthurrytus7318
I gave it a go and I still can't carry the ball over 200.
Can someone guide me on how to find the towel drill video as I have failed so far…
@@AndreeB19 Go back a week or 2 on dannys vids to the one that mentions short hitter I think it's that I mate
Always great advice Danny that help improve my golf game. Many thanks for taking the time.
Try this today on the course, with a 3 quarter swing, it was amazing, I started to hit the driver straight and my irons, for the first time in a long time, I felt in control, thank you so much for this drill, will keep you updated on my progress cheers Danny 😊
Brilliant well done Hamish!
Your teaching is so concise and clear. I have been watching your videos for about a month and my ball staking has greatly improved. I now understand why I hit a certain bad shot. And the fix for it. You are the first instructor ( in person or video) that has helped me to understand the right elbow position. I have added 20 yards to my driver because of your videos. Thanks
That’s wonderful well done
I've struggled to get my game back after a breakdown. Enter Danny, brilliant, easy to follow I'm now saving up for a lesson with the great man👍😊
Danny, this is absolutely my all time favorite drill. I have used this drill for over 40 years and I can tell all of your subscribers that it works. I start off doing half swings to also check my club position. Then increase to a 3/4 swing and then to a full swing. Thanks for posting!!!!
Love it Randy, thanks for sharing
Randy, does this work with irons too? Before I mess up what little ability I have 🤣🤣
30 seconds later, Danny reveals all 👌
Yes it will also work with your irons! This is a great drill for many aspects of your game.
@@randywolf4731 I’m not going to say this has changed my game just yet. But I never take a driver to the range. I’ve just hit several straight drives in excess of 190 yards!! This is a guy who hits a 6 iron off the tee, so I consider this to be a step in the right direction. Just need to build on it now 👍
Combined this logic with Ernest Jones classic 1937 Golf Book "Swing the Clubhead". Went to the range at my club here in Scottsdale AZ and stroked 80 balls for the first time using this drill. Only 2 hard slices, maybe 8 fades and the rest straight or nice draw using irons, fairways and driver. I wish I had seen a video like this many years ago. Can build on this and slowly widen my stance with control and consistency. Smooth takeaway, staying on plane, keeping the feet closer eliminates body movements (any sways) .... makes a big difference.
I tried this routine for the first time today, having not played golf for some months due to illness. It really worked a treat with me consistently hitting driver as far as I normally do but without the glitches of me dipping down into the ball that is consistently my bad shot. I also tried it with the irons and, guess what? It works. More work needed but a wonderful drill. Thank you Danny.
This drill also had the side effect of evening out my tempo. Thank you (and Pete)!
Thanks Danny. Took it to the back yard and then to the course and it worked. This was perhaps the best tip I've ever hard. Thanks so much, you're the best.
Thank you Rob!
Thx for reminding me about feet together practice. So useful. I realise it’s best sticking to you each week rather than checking out lots of other coaches which gets confusing. It’s like having a personal coach every week with back up notes if needed. Thx as always. You’re the tops.
Very kind appreciate the support!
I appreciate the simplicity of your training, and the swing thoughts needed. Cheers, -Jon
Thank you Jon!
Good morning Danny. Thank you for such an easy drill to help with driver and for all your hard work each week, with your videos.
My pleasure David, I really enjoy making
The 45* inclined plane circle that you are demonstrating in this video is something that I have been working on. Although I still lack the distance I am wanting, I do have the consistency in the strike most of the time! Well Done Danny! Always learning and validating from your videos!
Thanks for sharing John
The simplest drill made beautiful ,thank you so much
Thanks so much Andy
Excellent exercise, I tried it and amazing result, from now on I will do this before every shot
I really can’t believe how simple and easy this drill looks. I can’t wait to give it a try.
You can do it!
This is in the top 5 best KZhead golf tips for me, had to leave a comment. I found I would add way too much loft and spin to my driver that I was getting the same 240-50 carry as my 3 wood. I tried to super narrow stance, smooth swing approach and found it goes same distance but has a better lower flight and remarkably consistent in going straighter with a tighter dispersion. While I work on my driver - don't care how it looks on the course, this is 100% going to be how I will be driving it off the tee for the forseeable this coming season., I just can't get over how good this tip is - thank you Danny
Thanks Phil appreciate you taking the time to leave the support 😁
My hat is off to Danny Maude for this tip. Irregardless of the camera angle, I followed the instruction and IMMEDIATELY improved both distance and accuracy! I’m 66 and my average drives were in the 254 range! Just incredible. I take my time to set up as instructed, take my normal swing and away it goes. I’m a 5.7 hcp and love golf! Thank you Pro!
Amazing to hear
I had forgotten how good this drill is. What I would add is for those practising to hit 5 balls normally and stick a marker down at the average of these FIRST. Then work progressively from slow and easy to progressively faster and progressively wider. Watching the ball get closer to the marker with shorter width and slower swings helps to reinforce that bad things in the swing are getting overcome. Nothing like having a target and then kicking its butt whilst learning - then hitting it sweeter and longer and straighter in progressive way. Thanks Danny, brilliant as usual!
Thank you! Appreciate the support and you taking the time to comment 👍
Thanks to the YT algo I've watched your video. That's the best advice ever and the editing is so perfect, I've subscribed gleefully. Thanks !!!
Thanks for the support and feedback Rach 😁
Was playing this morning so had a few warm up swings on the 1st, worked really well striking improved both off the tee and from the fairway. I will keep working on it as its simpler than any other solution to my "kill the legs" thought when I feel myself moving too much....now to rewatch the chipping lesson with Pete
Absolutely, swing in balance 👍
Thank you Danny, This is something I use to get myself to slow down and focus...My coach taught me this over 25 years ago and it is one of the drills that has stuck with me. Nice to see that it has not gotten lost in todays technology movement.....
I really like it
Another great video Danny! This will hopefully assist with my inconsistencies in my game! Keep the videos coming! All really clear and easy to follow.... Good Stuff!
Thank you Adam
I tried this at the range today, it was a revelation!!! Simple! Thanks Danny.
Thank you Paul! Glad it helped 😁
Hey Danny. I watched this video at the weekend , I used this drill before each shot on Monday ie (feet together) and swing in balance. I had almost immediate results, so much so I had a gross 77. which was 9 over par. I play off 13.4. Brilliant thank you once again.
Brilliant Dave well done!
Thanks Danny. I will be trying this out tomorrow on the range. Love your videos.
Super kind Jeff
Love these lessons and they definitely help. Something I get very confused with is the effortless not even trying swings going 250 yards. Been playing golf about 20 years and I'd say I've hit it over 250 less than 100 times and always in summer with wind helping etc. They just look like you're not even trying and yet it's obviously somehow generating speed most of us can't get near. Even with your legs together so presuming no real ground forces at work there. I'd be more than happy with 250 yards drives consistently and in play, I think for most amateur tees / golf courses it's more than enough. Basically I guess I'm jealous of those effortless 250 yard drives where you don't even have to try 😂
I was thinking the same thing. I need the wind and the cart path to get over 250 lol😊
Is it possible that Danny and others have jacked up the launch monitors to produce higher speeds? I have played 56+ years and have run into just a handful of golfers who can carry a driver 300 yds or a seven iron 180-190 yds and invariably these have been big boys with terrific strength. @@tbone2859 I am suspicious.
That is incredible how far you get it with your feet together like that. If I can do that I won't bother widening my stance, fantastic. Thanks as always have a great weekend
It’s such a simple way Julian to start improving the efficiency of your body action.
Long time lurker on your channel. Gonig to try this out today on the course! I hit my best yesterday of 97 but putting was letting me down on the temp greens. I always think far too much about my grip and swing pattern with driver but not really any other club. Recently fractured my left middle finger so can feel awkward with my left hand being the main grip. Please don't ever stop these videos!!
Thank you appreciate the support 😁
Great tips all round watched this and another video on driver had a very productive session on the range.
Great video Danny!! So simple but sooo effective. Thanks again Danny!
Thanks 😁
Thanks again Danny for great instruction, gonna try this for sure & try & get rid of the bad swing I’ve picked up over the winter ❤
Thanks Dell, let me know how you get on 👍
Thank you so much for this Danny, the best drill I’ve ever done, took it in the back garden first without a ball, then the driving range where I had possibly my best ever range session. Acid test on the course today, played my best round for a couple of years. Thanks again mate
Pleasure Dave
Danny you simply an awesome human being and great teacher. Thanks for all the wonderful tips you give us. Keep up the great work.
That’s really kind Josh
Many thanks Danny, wish you healthy and productive as usual.
That’s really kind thank you 🙏
Hi Danny, I sort of lost my swing a bit whilst the courses were closed here recently, this drill has been just amazing to get that feeling and tempo back and has really helped me reduce my pulled shots massively, thank you!
Well done Rodger 😁
Great tip thanks Danny, I’ll be trying it out later. Ball position, Driver forward, iron central, Wedge ?
I watched this video this morning and I am now on the range. I tried this and have hit 6 consecutive drives down the middle at a distance of around 240. Not only does it help your swing plane but because your feet are so close together you really can’t over swing or else you would fall over. Great tip. First thing I thought of was this would be a smart thing to do off the first tee.
Thank you Danny!!! I truly appreciate your ability to make practice meaningful!!!
Really kind Michael
Love this drill. My Dad had me work on balance and tempo over 40 yrs ago with this drill.
This lesson makes much sense to me. I am going to try on the driving range next week.
Have fun
I love how you teach. I feel like this is the only golf lesson I need. I wish you were local to me. I spend thousands every year at my Golftec and they are not bad but they are not you.
You can do it
Great lesson as always, taking this straight to the driving range. Thank you
Have fun Steve
A simplistic drill that I really need to get back too! Love your videos Danny.
Thank you Darren!
Great video as usual Dan, I stuck my Driver away as fed up spraying it everywhere ! Had lesson in the week, I needed to get my arms straighter and softer grip, I had other way ‘round ! My coach said the straighter arms improves arc and gets posture taller. Swing was also too flat so got to get backswing higher and more vertical - check point arms swing under chin and but of club points at ball to target line halfway back. Over range tomorrow, and will implement what Lee, my coach has told me and build in your Driver arc / contact tips. All the best, Ken 😁👍
Sounds like great advice Ken
Thank you so much for that video. I think it's really going to help me
Have made so many swing changes in the past couple months and have went from a slice to a low hook with driver and 3w only. Going to try this on the range tomorrow, hoping it can help me eliminate all the wasted movement and overcompensating that got me to where I am now. Thanks Danny!
Hope the video helps you Samroy!
Brilliant ! I tried this tip and it immediately helped the consistency of my low point Thank you! 🙏🏻
Fantastic! Well done Dave
I recently had my playing partner video my driver swing during our round. I was shocked at how much excess movement there was with my body and subsequently my swing path. I am absolutely going to start incorporating this drill into my practice sessions. Thanks again Danny!
Thank you!
Danny thank you for the great video. The one question I have is the position of the ball in the stance. I hear off the front toe from one pro and another says off the heel. Which promotes hitting on the upswing better?
Been really struggling with my driver lately. Gonna take this drill to the range. Top video as usual 👍🏻
Glad to help, love to hear how you get on Justin
This drill works miracles Danny! I took this to the range last week and hit each club with my feet together until I could do so in balance. Yesterday I had the best strikes ever. It works great!! Thank you!
Brilliant Bradley well done 🙌
Looks good definitely going to try this when I get back from holiday tomorrow, who knows maybe even on a golf course! Thanks 👍
Look forward to hearing how you get on
Another quality post DM 👏 Always good content for us golfers. 🙏
Really kind of you George, thanks for your continued support and feedback. I really appreciate it
Brilliant Danny! Fantastic explanation as always. Thank you (and to Pete).
Glad you enjoyed it
The best channel for golf on youtube. Thanks
Very kind thank you 😁
Love this, bless you Danny. Thanks
Very kind of you
Love the lessons Danny. Keep up the great work.
Really kind thank you
Danny - another great video - I can remember going for a lesson at Thong Lane driving range years back and the coach there had me doing this feet together exercise, so this is a great drill for me and thank you for expanding on this drill. Will definitely put this into play at the range and as a reminder when playing! 👍
Thanks John!
Great segment!!! I saw a huge improvement from the drill suggestion. Thank you!!!
Thank you!
I appreciate most of your tips and drills. This one in particular is my favorite. One thing about this video, and it may be the camera angle, but the ball position between your feet appears to be exactly the same between driver and irons. I would like to see some sort of more definitive lines on the mat to see that ball position on the little toe for driver and middle of feet on irons.
Taking this one to the course tomorrow. Something I struggle with at the tee box. Take care Danny and thanks for this weeks tip
You got this Matt
Omg just tried with a wedge and wow!!! It really works gonna practice it Monday before my round Tuesday the swing plane is just at the perfect arc and circle with this because you don’t need to focus on stance
Absolutely 👍
I haven’t played golf in a long time and this video helped so much coming back to the game thank you so much.
Happy to help Jbw 👍
This is one of the better videos on the hitting (contact)
Sounds so simple, Danny, I'm going to try this, thanks.
Have fun Gary
thank you Danny, even if i knew this drill, you explain the purpose of it very clearly, so it is easier to understand if you are able to reach the goal you propose😀
Thank you Philip!
This makes so much sense - cannot wait to try this in practice
Have fun
Great lesson thanks again Danny
Brilliant Danny I have been needing a drill like this big style, will let you know in a week howi I am doing Cheers 👍😊
morning Danny, have watched this with interest. I am playing this afternoon and will take this to the course today to put it into practice, many thanks .
Thank you Marcus!
@@DanielMaude gave your tip of keeping feet together a try, seemed to work just need to work on a little more power to increase my distance.
Terrific video, Danny. This will be a great exercise for pre round warm up.
Absolutely 👍
Love this drill! It's great for working on contact 👍👍
It really is
Just tried your tip from this video. I was in a rush and barely made my tee time get on the first tee block. Do you tip three swings. Step in a hit a really nice gentle fade up middle of fairway. I repeated this tip before every club swing and it really worked! I normally score around 90 to 95. Argh. Today. Shot a 84! Awesome. Finally a KZhead tip that actually works. Thanks!!!!
Wow that’s amazing Stephen
Great drill Danny and will use this on the course this week as well as being able to practice in the garden too.👍
Love to hear how it goes Jon
This video came across by happenstance, but it's one of the best videos and tips I've seen ever maybe and I'm hoping that it works for me. Can't wait to try it thank you
Happy to help Frank 😁
Played golf yesterday with my feet together for all of my shots. Hit the center of the fairway all day with minimal loss of distance. Hit irons a little thin but shot my best round in ages. Thank you Danny.
Well done! Thanks for taking the time to comment 😁
Thanks, Danny. Good to see you again. Just back from holidays , back to play golf and tennis.
Enjoy Oscar 😁👍
You have done an amazing job of making Pete Cowen’s wisdom understandable for us mere mortals. These videos have already made my swing demonstrably better after only 2 practice sessions. Thanks so much, Danny.
You're very welcome
This has helped me massively typically my driver was hitting around 170 yds and everything felt a bit awkward, then I applied this technique yesterday and was hitting consistantly around 197 with a couple over 200 massive thanks for this upload
Brilliant well done 🙌
Just when I think I've heard it all, along comes Danny with a new perspective. Can't wait to drill on this!
Thanks Mike! Let me know how you get on 😁
Excellent drill Danny! I wasn't able to get to the range before my weekly round but tried this out on the course: a couple of feet-together warmup swings, ball even with the left toe, and balanced swing. I hit the dead center of the clubface almost every time! Quick question: Should the ball position be outside the left toe for the full-width swing? It's a little hard to tell from the video. Thanks for the great content -- keep it coming!
thanks Danny, a great drill to get into the right tempo
You're very welcome!
going to give this a try tomorrow on the course, Have had such inconsistency in my driver just seems such a easy way to get that arch shape back into my swing.
Love to hear how you get on Matt
@@DanielMaude Danny what an improvement to my game today!! All my drives today bar 1 all on fairway & good distances, was averaging 240 yds, kept feet about club 1/2 distance & positioned as you recommended, I will continue to use this & week widen feet overtime! 🙏🙏
