Video Description
If you struggle to hit driver straight or happen to be the shortest hitter in your group it’s not because you are getting older it’s because you have a driver technique that is taking your power away. In this golf lesson Danny Maude shares one thing you can do to gain a few extra yards whether you happen to be 25 or 85.
Most golfers trying to hit driver longer and hit driver further make the same mistake. They try to force more power through effort and muscle. They swing harder, try to hold their lag and grip the club tighter — and the result is a driver swing that feels effortful, inconsistent and weak. But the secret to an effortless driver swing has nothing to do with strength. It’s about learning to feel the momentum of the golf club and letting your body support it naturally — just like swinging a sledgehammer. When you swing something heavy, your body automatically knows what to do. It supports the weight, creates a lever and generates effortless power. Your driver swing should feel exactly the same way.
In this golf driver lesson I show you exactly what I showed my student Toby this week, who gained almost 30 yards with his driver without changing his swing. Not by trying harder. By doing less and trusting the momentum of the club. I also show you how to stop coming over the top, how to direct the force of the club correctly using the tee peg drill and how to create the right feeling at impact that gives you both distance and control. Whether you want to hit driver longer, hit driver further, stop slicing your driver or simply create a more effortless golf swing — this lesson covers all of it.
