Video Description
Are you struggling to hit your driver straight — even though every so often you produce one perfect shot down the middle?
In this golf lesson video, Danny Maude shows you the simple relationship that controls whether your golf ball flies straight, slices right or hooks left…and how you can begin changing it before you even start your swing.
Most golfers try to hit driver straight by changing lots of moving parts. But the curve of the golf ball is largely created by the relationship between your clubface and swing path.
Once you understand that relationship, your ball flight becomes far less mysterious.
In this video, you’ll discover:
✅ Why your driver slices even when the clubface appears to be pointing straight
✅ The simple “football kick” image that makes face-to-path easier to understand
✅ How to build a better clubface and swing-path relationship into your setup
✅ A small forearm and elbow adjustment that can help turn a slice into a draw
✅ What to change if you struggle with a hook
✅ Why a good setup can still disappear during the backswing
✅ How to identify the exact moment your clubface begins to open
✅ A simple way to practise the feeling without becoming overly technical
This lesson worked incredibly well for several of my students this week because it gave them something they could understand, feel and take directly onto the golf course.
The goal isn’t to manufacture a perfect golf swing.
It’s to develop a clearer awareness of where the clubface is pointing in relation to the direction the club is travelling.
Once those two begin working together, hitting your driver straighter becomes much easier.

HackMotion
In the second half of the lesson, I use HackMotion to show how golfers can lose control of the clubface during the backswing without even realising it.
HackMotion provides instant feedback to help you identify where the wrist and clubface relationship changes, allowing you to develop a feel you can eventually take onto the golf course.
