Discover why your driver swing is costing you distance — and the two simple golf swing patterns that fix it with almost no practice required. No complicated golf swing thoughts, no hours on the range.
If you've ever watched your playing partner effortlessly hit driver longer than you despite seemingly less effort, this golf swing lesson is going to explain exactly why that happens. It's not strength. It's not fitness. It's pattern — and once you understand how your golf swing should actually work, adding distance off the tee becomes surprisingly straightforward.
In this lesson I work through exactly what I did with my student Monty, who was convinced he was losing distance because of his age. Within 30 minutes of changing his golf swing pattern he had added 15 to 20 yards — with no extra effort at all. If you want to hit driver further and stop losing distance, this is where to start.

Your body already knows how to generate power — it just needs the right pattern to release it.

Here's this weeks practice plan, take it to the range or course: https://www.dannymaude.com/easy-driver-swing-almost-no-practice
Agree he is a good coach. However I always think he could have used half of the time to demo the same stuff
Hi Danny; I must say this is one of the best demonstrations of the driver swing I've seen. I'm usually too flat & rotate rather than push up which gives me a low ball flight. It looks more like a stinger fairway finder than a driver swing. A lot of roll but not enough carry. I'm not swinging as I swing an iron but not really up like a driver should be. This should help a lot. Thanks for this!
Danny … how, is it, week after week, that you know what my swing fault is at present?
This is me every week
Might sound crazy but the only way I can have a good tee shot is have 0 thoughts, range I’ll just think ‘exit left’ and it goes great, in course I have 10 thoughts positions etc, once I set up my aim and let the body takeover it just works
Best coach in golf by a country mile
It's funny, that drill almost perfectly resembles how Scottie's trail foot escapes behind him.
Why is this so different from your recent videos on drop the arms to the right knee and firing the hips?
Danny, excellent video! Thanks for explaining the mechanics of the swing in a way that really makes sense!
What’s up, Danny? Eric from Hawaii. Been watching your videos and I learned a lot. You made me a better golfer. I really appreciate the videos, 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Danny, you are a genius! I was always thinking about rotating. Never about “jumping” to bring the arms down. This is it.
Hi Danny, do you associate any part of your hand/hands as the club face throughout the swing? I do it with putting and chipping but not sure about full swings.
Hey Danny thank you for the amazing video would you ever consider doing a video for people with an excessive in to out path? Been struggling a lot with this recently
Isn’t that early extension?
Brilliant !!! Again !!!
The "swing the bucket" drill you showed last week (using what looked like a bowling ball bag) is perfect for developing this feel, as well.
Not much is ever said about the position of the right arm on impact( for a right hander). I find i get a crisper contact if the right arm is straight when contacting the ball, a feelin g that the elbow is straightened out and i’m hitting down on the ball. Can you discuss this in one of your videos please
Great vidéo ; I found that for opposite role of body and the arms the role of left arm at the end of BS is essential ; idem the right arm at the end of DS ( for right dominant ) Do you agrée ?
Danny the magnificent, Fab post, i am going blast it tomorrow!….hopefully
I dont know anymore…I watch these videos but my golf gets worse
still hitting fat and thin shots I don't think this tip is for me… I need to stay more still….
i used to be "THAT" golfer. Very analytical. Then it dawned on me….the object is to hit the ball, not positions. To that end, if you're practicing a lot with foam balls at home……you've got to get away from it You need the feel of compressing a golf ball to achieve the effortless swing. Set up a rebound board and hit chip shots.
Great video. When you start your downswing are you firing your hands or turning your shoulders. And, which should first, left (front) or right. Thanks.
As ever great video very easy to understand 👍
Didnt catch if you mention in this …and maybe its just me,but, once i started following this (your) method /ideas about “firing the arms …” i struggled…i struggled until i remembered to remain tension free(well try to)… the distance increased by leaps ..at first tension ,trying to guide the clubhead some, would make my aim even worse ..but my distance on solid strikes was miles further,just it could go anywhere lol…so if i remind myself to not think of anything beyond the swing motion and turning down my wrists / forearms it starts coming together ..essentially i got rid of trying to muscle it through which would lock my hands too much (in open position) creating an occasional boomerang slice or 45* angle shot to the left that would end up in a parallel fairway 😂… still incorporating this but feel it necessary to reiterate the need to keep tension to a minimum
You’ve got a great way of teaching. I’ve learned a ton from your videos. Being new without a coach is difficult, but you’ve made it much easier. Thank you for all that you’ve taught me. Hopefully one day I’ll get decent enough to take some lessons from you in person.
Danny! I've been working with your drills to have a repeatable, stable arc and it was working. This video was the missing piece for easy power! 20 yards on average increase after a 30 minute indoor practice session! Holy cow! In the northeast USA we're waiting for the snow to clear! With correct positioning, it works for fairway, hybrid, and irons, too! Can you do an iron video of this same content? The videos always help in perfecting the practice.
