You Can't Hit Driver Straight Using This Popular Ball Position

To hit driver straight avoid this common ball position mistake. So many golfers with a perfectly good golf swing can't hit driver straight because they simply have the ball position in the wrong place.

In this golf lesson Danny Maude shows you how to hit driver straight every time by first making sure you have the perfect set-up for a driver swing.

Without this you could have the perfect golf swing but still hit driver poor.

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.

Be prepared though. If it's 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!

Watching Danny is like listening to a good preacher - you generally know the stuff they might say but it’s still so good to hear it every time!

[Floki]

Great video Danny! I been working on exactly this lately with every club. By focusing on keeping my mass fixed thru the entire swing, i can now control the lowpoint of the swing and predict where the club hits the ground, and it has made me more consistent than ever, but most important, it has made golf FUN again😇

[geofffrancis]

Thanks Danny for all your tips. I have just won our club championship at the ripe old age of 77 playing off 9.4. Never would of done it without your help🤙🏆

Consistent setup instruction is great Danny. My exact struggle and you have given key feels to get it right. I love the club at the center of the chest with just a slight tilt to get the club back to the ball at setup. I get to the tee box for a drive and start the setup and my mind takes over and I blank out, what the heck did I do the last time that I struck it so well. It's as though I am lost for a bit and then just swing and pray it is good enough to get a good iron shot in next. I hate that with driver it feels like the first time every time. I have been working on things so that is part of it, but this is great detail to repeat every time without a million shot killer thoughts rolling in the brain bucket... Thank you Danny. Will update with results...

[davidk]

Danny- you have the genius ability to explain complex things in a simple to understand way. Thank you!

[stevenchamberlain]

I never really thought about how important this was and that it could make such a difference. Thanks again Danny for another great video.

[rodgerwardle]

Danny, just want to say thanks for this video. Watched it this morning, rocked up to the first tea (no warm up) and pumped one 290 yards down the middle! Even got a fist pump for the starter on the 1st tee. 0:01 One of my best driving days ever today, such a simple set up fix!

[toddkorolphoto]

So I was struggling with this very thing, I've even gone for a couple of lessons on trying to straighten out my driver, but this is the first video I've seen that explains exactly why your set up has to be this way, and what happens when it's not. I did exactly what you said here, and I've been at the range twice today, starting off very slow to get the feel for this, and gradually speeding up. My drives are now going perfectly straight, it's amazing, I will keep working at this but this was so great for me. Thank you! Now I need to work on getting more distance doing this. Cheers Mate!

[scottk]

Absolutely loved the comparison examples with the ball too far forwards or backwards. I'm a slicer, so I'm going to take all the tips to the range and do my best

[richardt]

Simple AND brilliant, Danny. I believe that you have revealed the missing piece as to why changing the ball position makes such drastic changes to the direction and distance of the ball strike. The center or bottom of the swing is at the Armpit and NOT the inside of the Left Foot ! Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! I'm looking forward to a great day on the course today.

[johnlong]

Your best video yet. Thank you. I have no problem with hitting the driver straight, but I could never describe this as simple as you have.

[alangoudie]

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER EXCELLENT, EASY TO UNDERSTAND VIDEO.
Danny has the knack of explaining golf faults so we can improve.
I will now make a few notes & then PRACTICE & CHECK WHAT I AM DOING.
With Danny's recommendations my handicap is coming down despite being 81 years old.
If I can improve YOUNGER, FITTER & MORE ABLE GOLFERS SHOULD ALSO GET BETTER.

[Jayhawk_Nation]

I drove a par 4 today made an Eagle. It felt amazing. I'm a 4 handicap and feel I could be scratch next season if I keep working on my game.

[liquidsmokemustang]

Danny, this is such an eye opener. Now I know what I’ve been doing wrong all these years. I’m a slicer and always thought I needed to tee the ball farther forward to get the face more closed (never mind I was rotating too much in the down swing). I realized my rotation was wrong because I could feel it but, couldn’t correct it. Love your videos brother.

[DebbieKelly]

I’ve been watching your videos for a while. All of them are great, but for some reason this one clicked for me. My drives and fairway shots have been long and straight and I feel more confident now when I tee up the ball. It’s like a miracle happened. Lol. Thank you so much.

[benngersoll]

Best instructor on YouTube. By far! Thanks Danny.

[gertjanderooij]

Danny, this is such a great vid for all hdcppers. I’m single hdcp and lately struggled with hooks and pushes. Amazing how ball position failure tends to keep kreeping into your game. You’re explanation here should be a must practice on range regularly. Thx a lot!!

[kenhenley]

I was always taught to tilt the shoulders as you say at about the 3:30 mark but didn't realize I was over doing it. I couldn't understand why I was hitting slices? After watching some swings of myself I had recorded I saw this video and realized I was tilting but simultaneously leaning away from the ball believing I was tilting correctly (once again, what one thinks they are doing is often contradicted by video evidence). Almost on the first swing after "toning down" my shoulder tilt I was back to hitting the ball straight. I suspect this is a common problem where most instructors teach the shoulder tilt but isn't done correctly and results in one moving away too much versus just tilting. Wish I had watched this video about a month ago!!!

[Pwrb]

Thanks for the arm shoulder and ball position simplification. Trying to find that extra 20 yds I've misplaced - down from 285-290. Of course @ 62 Yrs of age is the mind writing checks my body doesnt want to cash. Keep the great tips and instruction coming, so very helpful.

[michaelshepherd]

Just found your videos and I wish I had found them 20 years ago! Simple illustration/results based instruction. Do this action = result of action. Brilliantly simple. Thank you!
