#GolfSwing #HitDriverStraight #DannyMaude
Our trackman at the range says my ball flight starts 10 / 15 degrees left and it stays left. Great flight and ok distance for my age. It’s consistent as well. I’ll watch this great video a few times and and see if I can solve the problem. Thanks again Danny for the brilliant content every week.
Wait is it Saturday?
Your body need enough strength to reach at least 108 mph swing speed. Otherwise you won't hit 290 yards
Love this lesson. Especially the arm movements. Seems like you added the body at 10:21 in the video. You hit it 294!
The drill of pinning the bicep to my side and feeling how the arm moves has been a game changer for me. Not only am i hitting it straighter, but getting better peak height and backspin. Total game changer.
That's me …because I hit a good drive on previous hole I try to give it a bit more ….but instantly regret …huge slice (and always on a hole I don't need it …
Will try this at range as been having major struggles with the driver recently
Danny, I am 94 and will be 95 in 2 months. I still love golf and play as often as I can. Your videos have helped me so that I can still score in the mid to high eighties. On area I still have difficulty id hitting out of fairway bunkers when I want to set the ball well down the fairway. Would you provide a video covering this subject? Thanking you in advance.
Great explanation of what controls path vs face! Thanks
Let's freaking go 😎🏌️
Thanks Danny, that's brilliant! This is the first time someone's explained how the mind-muscle connection is supposed to feel. Love your content!
This video really unlocked a new perspective on how to actually swing a driver, thank you!
Greetings Danny. I wish to thank You again for all Your guidance. I have a long way still to be consistent on every drive, yet Your Instructions are leading me closer to that 225 yard plus drive! Maybe someday, I will come to visit in Canterbury! Thanks again,pat
This helped me so much today thank you
This week's and last week's videos may be the best, most important for my game, you've put out in the several years I have been watching your instruction. This is how to obtain a smooth and balanced swing. Sharing!
Mr. Maude, I have been watching your videos for over a year now and step by step I have been adding your technique to my swing. I have better aim and am beginning to add distance. Last week, I didn't loose one golf ball and only used one mulligan. It was great. I see the club face angle now and have it in perspective of the swing ellipse. I'm hitting the fairway roughly 90% of the drives and making the green about 75% of my approach shots. I have so much more confidence in my shots now… the game is getting more fun. (Honestly, no one wants to play with me anymore because I'm more solid in my shots.) Thank You, Mr. Maude!👍😁
Excellent breakdown of the driver swing mechanics. So good!
Thankyou for another very helpful video.
I am pleased you enjoyed a break with your family.
Enjoy your children as they quickly grow up & you will wonder where the time went.
Great video Danny. Makes a lot of sense and I will definately be practicing your techniques. Keep them coming 👏
Great Class
Awesome video! Can’t wait to try this!
Danny, between you and Easiest Swing you cover the field!! Well done it makes so much sense.
Hi Danny, the holding of the left arm and moving the club has given me the feeling of the arc for the first time, I’m able to feel it and recognise it. Thank you
Hey Danny this video is super helpful! Do you have a video on what your stance should be in relation to the ball for different clubs? I honestly have no clue and just kind of guess based on what feels right lol
That elbow pivot is just what I needed to make my driver shots consistent and nobody has mentioned that. I live in Asia and I cannot believe someone across the globe has just fixed my driver problem. Thank you Danny!
I feel like I’m doing all these things, I’m obviously not because I only hit my drives 250yards. Fairways hit are about 40-60% depending on the day… how do I get that extra 10pm h to get to 280yards… I’m realistic I know I’m not going to get to 300yards..
Is this the same for irons?
Danny I really learn from your YouTube channel. Is there any chance we could see your shots in slow motion with forward view and side view with you explaining the swing while watching it cheers from down under
Isn’t this (first part) what Scheffler does in his pre-shot routine?
Another gem Danny, thank you! "Arms responsible for taking club up, body responsible for taking club around" such a simple and powerful demonstration and has already helped me from last week's lesson. Today's timing of getting back to impact also reminded me of your swinging door analogy from a while back. My huge request: Can you please describe the feel / motion you have for creating that last second wrist hinge you make just before you begin your downswing? That generates an additional power snap that is not as natural for me. Is it just relaxed, tension free wrists or is there something you had to develop and could share with all of us?
That was perfectly done Danny! Most others do not break it down like you did. Showing that easy swing going 270 gives me hope!
Always a good video when danny drops! Keep up the good work and have a wonderful golfing week
P.S. noticed that the video came later than usual
Thank you very much. Best video regarding driver swinging
how the helllllllll do you swing 30-50% driver, and produce 277yds. HOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!
out of pureeeeeee frustration Danny, i have to unfollow. the golf swing just doesn't make any sense.
