EFFORTLESS DRIVER SWING - CATAPULT YOUR DRIVER
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2019
- This video is about how you create an effortless driver swing. This is a swing that helps you to hit the golf ball further without the need of brut force. I cover three aspects you need to hit a driver straight consistently. Firstly learn how to catapult the club head by turning the body in a spiral fashion. Second learn how to square the club face up at impact to ensure a great impact position. Finally put all of it together with one final burst of power.
Ive also got a FREE course on the driver you can pick up here as a special bonus:

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 UA-cam 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 its 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!

Will look forward to trying this out, driver one of my more consistent shots, us a 10 year old 10.5 Tommy Armour driver with a big sweet spot. Need to work on draw. Enjoying your series, watch one on weekly trips to range. Ken, White White Plains, NY
Awesome...again making a repeatable golf swing accessible with simple, well explained concepts.....the lining up of body parts for good rotation, spiral concept, grip end to the body, etc. Great stuff...thank you.
I don't know how the driver could be made simpler. You are a great instructor!
Thanks for another great lesson!👍
Michael Martino my pleasure Michael, thanks for taking the time to comment
Hey Danny, I tried your tip today at the range with great results. Thank you for your teaching.
Hey Danny, Read in one of your comments that you thought this video may be a little too long. Don't ever believe that! You explain everything thoroughly, and take the most important extra time to review what you have just explained. Your brilliant explanation is actually in laymen's terms for us that are somewhat golf-challenged. Please don't fix what ain't broke! Cheers, Danny!
Don't believe that any of your vids are too long. I've been a teacher in the public and private sector. You know how to put together a lesson plan. Great intro, detail, and summary. Keep up the great work!
Bill Switzer that’s really kind and reassuring Bill
D White thanks you, means a lot to have this feedback as I know that my videos tend to be a little longer than most...I just try and make sure you have everything you need to go and improve after each video
Thanks again
I w
Congratulations on the 200k+ Danny! It's well deserved. Your time and effort is very much appreciated. Thanks
Thank you Nick, never thought this would happen
Great tip - "Handle to the body, club head to the ball". What a great drill and swing thought. Simple!
Thanks Danny. I hit a few straight and out of the driving range using the catapult method.
Hope its still going well
Brilliant, concise, another simply hit home instruction, I can feel the yards mounting up! When I’m on my swing is effortless, when not it’s like I’m chopping wood. Swaying and attacking with right shoulder. I might just hang a corkscrew on the bag as a reminder! You remain the best instructor online.
Les Simmo very kind to feedback Les, love the idea of hanging a cork screw on the bag 😂
A great addition to all your previous Driver videos. Thank you for posting them. I re-visit them often. I’ve mentioned before how much they’ve helped me out. Always look forward to you’re posts. So well explained and enjoyable to watch.
Thanks as always Steve, great to have you part of the community
Thank you for your channel wish I had found it earlier the way you explain things really resonates with me! Great job great channel!
Your videos have drastically improved my stance, my distance, and my game in the short 1 1/2 weeks that’s I’ve watched and practiced. Today went to the driving range and worked on your video “iron swing and driver swing” my driver hits were straighter and further than they were last week, my iron swings were ball first then turf and they were further as well..thank you Danny for the simple, helpful videos you have released. Friday I’ll be working on chipping and pitching..
Danny, great drill mate. Took it to the range today and boy what a difference. You are an Outstanding instructor. Thanks again.
Thats very kind Chris, really appreciate the support and feedback
Danny, I’m so glad I found you on here . What I wouldn’t do spend on day on the course with your help !!! 👍👍
I hope in the meantime Eric, this really helps
Great lesson, as always. I saw your other catapult video, and it really as help me be more consistent off the tee.
Danny so many videos on the internet. Your instructions are much more in-depth and easier to apply to the process of that thing called the swing!! Thanks for making it easier
Thank you Vincent, appreciate you taking the time to feedback
What great drills and a way to get the feeling of the swing. Great job as always Danny
Thanks Brian, hope you managed to get out and play this weekend
Fantastic video. Your explanations are great and you repeat the major points and summarize them like a great teacher would.
Hi Danny I’m getting Addicted to your videos !!! Amazing and really helpful please keep them going 😊
What a great video. Every amateur golfer, especially beginners, should watch this. The split hands looks like a great drill, can't wait to try it. I'll be recommending this video to my golfing friends.
Hi Danny, Driving is worst part of my game but not today after watching this video. This video gave me a good understanding of how the club head speed is generated. I used to rush the down swing and resulted the poor direction. I practiced the swing using the catapult technique in front of the window and felt really comfortable with the swing and then went out to play 9 holes. Amazingly the first drive went about 270 yards almost 30 yards longer than use to be, also the ball landed in the centre of the fairway. 6 out of 7 drivings were long and straight. It is a great video and you are a great teacher. Thanks a lot and will follow your channel.
Brilliant advice once again dude, I can't wait to try out my driver with this, as it has opened my eyes and mind to what stupid things I was doing in the swing, tested it out with my 60 degree at the oval near me this arvo and night and day difference it feels
Thats great Benjamin, it should really help your consistency
Hi Danny,
As usual, again another great video with a few but very CLEAR and SIMPLE tips on how to hit the driver!!!
GREAT...keep going!!!
For me, the best golf channel on YT!!!
Oreste Chiavi very kind Oreste, I was a little nervous when editing that this was a little longer than planned
I just love your lessons Danny! Can’t wait to give the catapult lessons a try! You have helped my game so much. Most improved area chipping. Than you so much!!!
That’s great Ellen, so good to hear
The most important element of the catapult swing for me was relaxing the wrists in the downswing. As you suggest Danny it gives a feeling of letting go. Counter intuitively by giving up a sense of control as you swing down gives you more control in direction. Not using my wrists to try to steer the ball has really straightened my driving.Thanks for the tip Danny.
Hats off to you Danny. The way you explain the drills and technique is so good! Big fan of the videos!
Thank you Chris, love to hear how you get on
Hey Danny! Over the years, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video. I’ve also conveyed this method to some of my better students. While teaching, the hardest concept to explain is the feeling of “spiraling” or “stair casing” the body during the backswing. It’s more of a feeling than a visual part of the swing. Alas, I’ve found an explanation that works to give the student the correct “coil” feel during the backswing.
At address, imagine there’s a lit cigarette under your trail shoe. BEFORE your backswing, you must extinguish that cigarette by twisting (or trying to rotate) your trail foot clockwise. Feel the spikes of your trail shoe in the ground as they hold your trail foot stationary. This action pre-loads the right leg and forces the body to correctly coil during the backswing. It also eliminates body sway, shortens the backswing, and eliminates “re-gripping” the club at the top.
Perhaps this mental image would be useful while passing along your brilliant catapult method to your students!
Love the channel!
Thanks for taking the time, Danny!
Literally the best videos and guidance out there today. Amazing and immediate results. Thanks mate!!
Happy to help! 😁
Just found this channel. Having looked at many golf channels I can honestly say Danny is by far the best teacher I have found. Have just tried some of these tips and WOW. It works. Thanks Danny for helping people enjoy golf. Keep up the great work you do.
brando pb very kind brando, thanks for taking the time to comment
This is so good. Very valuable insight and explained beautifully. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work!
Danny, Again I have learned so much from your videos. Hitting 80 percent of the fairways with the driver thanks to you.
Hi Danny - you would not know how much this exercise has transformed my game. I now feel so confident off the tee these days, this will help me get down to the single handicap I’ve wanted for so long. Cheers John
You are very welcome John, wonderful to hear your confidence is on the way up
Some instructors have the ability to explain very simply how to do something,Danny is one of the best at it.
Thanks again
Really kind James, thanks for taking the time to comment
There are many very good golf tip videos on youtube, but among them yours still stand out. The concepts are so damn brilliant and your ability to convey them both in terms of "feel" but also "technically" is just incredible. My game has improved so much already by just working with your videos.
Thanks Captain appreciate the support and happy the videos are helping you improve your game 👍
I love your videos. You're one of the best. I particularly like how you add little drill tools like the split hands drill in this video. It's one thing to understand the science of the swing but another to actually do things that make you feel it.
Thanks George, its always tricky to feel what we need to do in the swing, hope the drills are helping
Danny your videos are the best!!!
I have immediately improved my game in all aspects. Thank you :)
As always simply the best tuition Danny. Always very happy to receiving your tuition tips
Regards Gerry
Thank you Gerry, appreciate the comment
Great videos! I've learn more in about 5 of your videos than in literally 100s of hours of lessons. Thank you!
Great to hear! Thanks so much for taking the time to feedback
Great tip Danny enjoyed it got a lot of work to do thanks for all you do
I just got into golf, struggling with consistency and power, and your catapult explanation has changed everything for me. I finally get it. All the research and tutorials and tips all make total sense now. Thank you!
That’s great happy to help Litos 👍
I’ve watched this video and “stop topping your woods” video today and yesterday. No searching, they were just 2 random videos on my home page and these are the 2 things I’m extremely horrible at and planned on working on. Incredibly thankful they did. You nailed every single thing I do on the course, wrong lol. Stoked to get out there and start rippin shots
Thats brilliant Denny well done
Your tips have really improved my game. Keep up the good work. Thank You!!!
Wonderful to hear Benjamin, thanks for sharing
Another great golf tip Danny , i see this all the time on the golf course .
Thank you Johnny, hope you managed to get out and play this weekend
so danny, you are the best of all golf instructors,
many thanks
I really enjoy your videos. You put things in terms I can understand. Thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to feedback Jesus
Off a 4 handicapper your tuition is always simple and clear, and it works, thanks Danny
brilliant David, your feedback means a lot thank you
Your takeaway from the ball and not moving the body off of the ball is very helpful and gives me a great perspective on the backswing and not pulling off the ball, just actually turning the body creates a more repetitious and balanced swing.
Thats great Joel, let me know how it goes
Danny I am a regular subscriber and have improved my golf tremendously following time fruitfully invested in your tutorials. My friend, none of them are verbose and as proof let me assure you that I frequently backtrack to get more of certain aspects of the lesson. You certainly have a knack of imparting information and even down -under in Melbourne, Australia it resonates ......loudly and very clearly. Thanks Danny and don't ever apologise.
Thanks Richard appreciate the support 😁👍
Hello Mr. Danny, thanks for the wonderful video and great tips. Loving the sound of pure strikes. Your swing looks great. It also looks like your golf swing is easier on the body ie; knees, hips, back and shoulders. It just makes sense that us older guys would benefit from getting rid of as much sway as possible in our swing. Man I wish I had this information when I was younger. Listening to your lessons, there seems to be a big difference between "smart torque" and "hard torque". Hard torque is what i've been using all my golfing career and it has reeked some havoc on my joints over the years. If I had used "smart torque" which is the swing you promote or have, my joints would be in better shape. It might be time for yet another swing change. hahahaha....thanks again and many thanks for the videos, they are awesome...
great to hear from you Les, never too late to keep improving 😁
Awesome Danny. I'm working on this stuff right now and it helps to visualize it this way.
Thank you Oliver, visuals are such a great way of making the body do things without having to think of a load of things
The split grip drill is great. Earlier this year I came to the conclusion it was possibly the best practice swing for me before I hit a shot on the course but sadly I don't remember often enough to use it when I am playing. Must get it drilled into my brain!
Great vid, the theory alone gets into your head and you get a good idea what you should feel going thru the motion. Thanks Danny
My pleasure Dave, thanks for the feedback
Quality Danny ... keep up the great work !!!
With my golfing physio clients I get them to realise the potential of their Ribcage as the leading rotating part of their body and their swing ...
I am NO golfing pro so I relate my physio knowledge to the basics of their swing ...
I get them to imagine the ribcage is like the classic SLINKY toy ... every level of the ribcage (one rib across to the opposite one at the same level) is effectively a ring ... the ribcage is therefore a series of stacked rings ... or as I prefer ... A SPINAL SPRING !!!
I ask them to lift and stretch up their SPINAL SPRING before compressing it back down again ...
To achieve this ... most folk have to work on releasing everything around the SPINAL SPRING that causes it to stick and close down ...
Usually those overactive shoulder girdles and sticky shoulder blades is a great place to start...
Love your analogies 👌🏻 ... will continue to point clients your way ...
Thank you 👏🏻
Challenge Physio love the analogy of the slinky, it’s a great image thanks for sharing
Forget everything else you’ve been shown about fixing your slice. This video......this one video, will change your game forever. Guaranteed
Thanks for the support
Thank you 😁
I would like to thank you for you helping on my driver. Just in the short time watching your video and one day on the driving range I'm now hitting my driver some what straight now it time for me to put some distance on it. Thanks for your help
Thanks for letting me know
Hi Danny
Just tried that with the driver and my irons and after a few practice swings and a few blocks to the right I've started playing a draw.
Great video keep it up.
regards
jay sangha
Amazing Jay well done and thanks for sharing your progress
Superb video! Will watch it again and again until I achieve perfection
Best teacher on UA-cam, without question.
Toby Barker very kind Toby, there are some great coaches on UA-cam
You are one of the best teachers out there.
Spot on. I need to do this! I think I am doing this but not quite as well with the down swing. This will be the final polishing if you will on my driver swing for me. Already getting it to end of the range net 200 yds carry 150 to 175 yds but I know I can hit the net at 200 yds. Will give it a try.
Great detail again. Thanks Danny
your lessons makes sense. thank you.
I'm parked outside the Comanche Trail Golf Club in one of the finest little cities in all of Texas ... Amarillo (which means yellow in Spanish for those of us who didn't know, me included 😀) anxiously waiting for the gates to open so I can give the ol' catapult swing lesson a go...In my head, it seems like it makes the most sense for old geezer like me...Cork screw, light hands, club, navel, sternum, release etc...Ive been playing, no, I've been trying golf for a year now and the guys I've been watching on the Tube are awesome, but their philosophies or whatever one would call it, seem to be more fit for younger folks... New to the game 40+ year olds can't be expected to mimic a Dustic Johnson swing...There's just so much going on there that 80% of us will never be able to mirror, so those vids are not necessarily meant for 80+% of us... This is great stuff Danny, cheers 🍻...The hinge video and the catapult vids have me excited about today's range time. Thank you again. 🍻⛳
My pleasure Mike, I think there is so much information for the young athletic golfer but very little for the real golfer...hope this helps you
Your videos are slowly but surely getting my body to feel what its supposed to feel like to swing the club and I’m slowly seeing results!
Thats great to hear Jaime, thanks so much for taking the time to comment
if it works for #KidRock, I'm 100% sold
watched your video for the first time ,great information regarding how to create speed with drive looking forward to watch more videos
Thats great Giuliana, welcome to the community.
Driver has always been the worse club in my bag. This video has completely change that. Now i cant wait to hit driver. Unbelievable , your lessons are priceless. Thank-you
Thanks Vincent, that's great to hear
I'm a beginner but you helped me already a lot ! Thank you I'll follow your advises
Elizabeth Nemeth my pleasure, thanks for taking the time to feedback
Hi Elizabeth. 72 yo woman golfer here. Been watching Danny for 3 years. And a lot of others too! Have come back to DM and ignoring all the others. All the best with your golf and developing an excellent, natural” swing! Cheers, Annee 🇦🇺
Excellent driver advice - very impressive stuff - thanks a lot..!!!
Jacob Haraldsson my pleasure Jacob, thanks for taking the time to comment 👍
First time viewer and this was amazing information. Look forward to viewing through your post!
Welcome to our community Xavier, look forward to helping you with your golf
Love this one Danny and all your passion! Thank you!
My pleasure Ellen 🙏
Top notch tuition.
I so need this " free" speed. Only occasionally do I feel the whip through and the proper sound.
Hands to the body and clubhead to the ball... Gold.
One step at a time Mike, keep the balance points lined up first, make the spiral and this will really help you catapult the club head
Once again great stuff Danny! Thank you 🙏
Chad macjack thank you Chad, hope you are having a great weekend
Head to the ball, handle to the body. Brilliant! This has changed my game immensley! I was not gettng the handle and club back to the same position with correct shaft angle. Ball was going everywhere as I tried to manipulate the swing rather than catapult. I cannot thank you enough.
Happy to help Michael!
Excellent video Danny, so well explained
Gordon Steen thanks Gordon, really appreciate the feedback
Thanks Danny, really helped me out...Cheers.
Roy Robert my pleasure Roy, thanks for taking the time to comment
Yeeeeehaaaa. Just added 50 straight yards. Cheers man. Don’t force it just swing.😉👍
Boom, good work 👍
Great video, looking forward to trying the moves out and playing better shots.
Danny, l got on it on my last round free of any mishits for the first time!!! Before l tended to sway from side-to -side, making me topping the ball with my driver, woods, and long irons 3-4 times a round let alone catapult my game which was embarrassing and disgusting in front of my playing buddies. Now l have learned to be more still and doing so no more mishits thanks to you! No other coaches could dig as dig as you can on this!
Thats awesome to hear, thanks for sharing
That lesson was brilliant!! Awesome! You’re so so good! 😍
Really happy to help Janice
Great video as usual Danny, I am working on these moves at the moment so really relevant to me. I love the cork screw analogy, works so well., yours is the best online tuition by far. Nothing more to say really
As always Paul, really appreciate the feedback....hope you golf is going well
@@DanielMaude Danny, getting there slowly but surely :)
This was a fantastic example on how to use your driver properly, Thanks Danny, these video's are always really appreciated. You do make this stuff simple to learn. I would dearly love and ok, really need a 1 - 1 lesson with you at some point in person. I have a feeling it would be worth every penny and more haha !!
Thanks Timothy 😁
These instructional videos are excellent, straightforward, examples of swinging along with relevant verbiage. I have watched most of them by Mr Maude, since I have started to practice golf again after not swinging a club nor playing for about 45 years! Very helpful. I have done the same for tennis practice where I hit balls launched by a tennis-ball-launching machine. In that and this case I video-record my swings in both sports, so that I can compare to swings executed by professional players.
Hope the are helping Wendell
@@DanielMaude I will go out to the driving range shortly. I video-recorded myself a day or so ago and was positively surprised at my swing, which is good in the recording at least, although I hit the ball poorly on average. I will post any materially positive progress on my personal website, as I do for my tennis strokes, e.g. serve, forehand, top-spin one-handed backhand, backhand slice, etc. Where are your videos recorded? Yes, I suspect that I will start to hit the ball well within a few more practice sessions based on your "lessons".
Great lesson. Thanks again for simple explanation, you solved one of my big problem.
That’s great 👍 thanks for your comment
The best teacher on the web! 👍
Very kind, I know there are some brilliant coaches here on UA-cam
Danny,
You’re the best. Thank you.
Pleasure Mark, all the best
Wow DM! This is eye opening. Thouroughly enjoyed. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Mike, love to hear how you get on
@@DanielMaude I'll post some feed back on how me (62) and my grandson (19) progress
Excellent Danny, thank you!
Danny this by far the video of the lot,simple step by step advice that even an idiot will understand.
God bless you mate I'm your number one fan
Antonakis Demetriou very kind Antonakis, look forward to hearing how it helps your driver swing
I have been using the catapult method with all of my clubs throughout the bag and I have had a HUGE jump in swing speed which naturally translates into more ball speed + distance. This method definitely has merit. Using leverage, load at the top, and maintaining the 3 balance points Danny method is crucial. It is not easy to master and takes practice to work through some of the load and timing elements.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share your progress Jason
great stuff Dany. Mike Malaska say the same concerning hands in club out. Very good instruction. Thanks a lot
Thanks for taking the time to feedback, much appreciated
Yo Danny. I watched this lesson last night and swung a wedge a few times in my basement, I tried it on the 1st tee w/o any range time and drilled it right down the middle and followed it with a 160 yd 5i within 10' of the flag. I finished the front nine with a 38 and a total of 81 (2 strokes off my age) for my best score since my heart attack on Mar 1. I haven't been able to hit the ball this consistently long and straight for a couple of years. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with a Plantar Fascia issue and may have to call it quits for this season. Thanks for another great video and I can't wait to work on this on the range
Thats amazing news Wayne, look after your feet and get ready for next season 👍
î
This is exactly, what I needed thanks,,,what do you have on course management?thanks dannyboy,,split grip,great
Always the best teacher .
Appreciate the support
These videos are top drawer from this guy Topman !!
Thanks William 😁
Great video...playing tomorrow, going to practice tonight.
Brilliant, look forward to hearing how you get on
simple and easy to understand. thank you sir
My pleasure, thanks for taking the time to comment
Just want to say you are genius😁 after 8500 + I can feel the point of catapult OMG you true genius ☺️
erling rugsten that’s brilliant, well done and thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Danny! I love your videos! This has helped me immensely on the range. From slicing BIG time to know hitting straighter and further than ever. I went from a player that developed a pretty good short game to compensate for my drives that were all over the course except straight to now driving straight and I some how managed to be not so good on my short game. Now I need to put both of them together damnit. Damn this sport is frustrating. 😂 I guess if it were that easy I would have my tour card. So back to the practicing I go. Thanks so much Danny! IMO the best instructor on youtube by far. Cheers to you sir
excuse me, NOW not Know… talk to text makes me look dumb at times 😂
Another top quality video.
Much appreciated Jim, thanks so much for sharing
Please explain keeping right shoulder under left shoulder throughout swing. Excellent drills and suggestions how to change bad habits.
