Want to hit driver further without making a longer or harder golf swing?
In this Danny Maude golf lesson, you’ll learn how to create more clubhead speed, improve your driver strike and generate effortless power with a surprisingly short golf swing.
This golf swing lesson is especially useful for senior golfers, golfers with limited mobility, anyone struggling with flexibility, or golfers who feel they have to make a huge backswing to hit driver longer.
Danny Maude explains two simple ideas that can completely change how you create speed with the driver: knowing exactly where your body needs to finish, and learning how to “catapult” the golf club through impact at the right moment.
In this golf lesson, you’ll learn:
• How to hit driver further with a short backswing
• How to create more clubhead speed without swinging harder
• The correct driver setup for better launch and distance
• Why your trail shoulder position matters through impact
• How to stop lunging towards the golf ball
• Why some golfers lose speed by over-rotating through impact
• How to use the Longest Putt golf drill with driver
• How to use sound to improve golf swing speed
• Why an underarm throwing action can improve your driver swing
• How to create effortless power even with limited flexibility
If you struggle to hit driver consistently, lack distance off the tee or feel you need a longer backswing to create more power, this simple golf drill can help you experience where speed really comes from.
The goal isn’t to force a bigger swing.
It’s to improve your strike, give your body a clear destination and learn how to accelerate the golf club through impact while staying behind the golf ball.
