Why is it important for 99% of golfers to have a good takeaway? Because it sets up the rest of the swing!
If your takeaway is all over the place, it’s unlikely that the rest of the swing will be under control, leading to terrible ball striking and inconsistent contact.
Learn how to start the golf swing off correctly with this simple drill that will help perfect your takeaway!

Love the video and will try this drill out today, but have a question or two. 1. Will I need a different alignment rod placement and thus a different take away for each club or are the alignment rods spaced such that one set up is good for most or all clubs? 2. I have a bad habit of an over the top swing with a square face to path, thus shots headlining off the fairway left but on a straight path. (Right hand golfer) will this drill help that or am I doing something wrong at the top / start of my down swing? Im hoping that the proper take away will put me in a better position for the down swing. I do try to visualize keeping my back to the target as long as I can in the down swing but wonder if I am letting my arms drop or if I spin around my spine, thus over the top. Do you have a drill / explanation of the down swing move?
Sorry for the long question.
Thank you for providing helping a frustrated golfer.

🎉 I had a lesson with you and this is what you told me to work on. Will add this drill!
My issue is how to get from P2 to the top? I don’t know hours to do that. No one seems to be sure that?
Yes…i have a good p2 position….but that itself doesn't guarantee a good position at top, downswing, sequence n strike ….golf is that complicated….
I am 76 and have been golfing since I was 12. This is the best takeaway lesson and drill I have ever seen. I can’t wait to try it.
Hands moving away from the body during takeaway works pretty good for Couples and Furik…..Just saying…..Humans are not machines; everyone's body moves differently. Impact is the most important part of the golf swing. Every pro has learned to make adjustments coming into impact to be successful, regardless of takeaway.
Nice lesson. My hinge trigger is when the club has moved 45* in the arc. Then I can swing up on plane. It works pretty well for me at least.
Why don't you just move up some and swing instead of taking off the alignment sticks that would probably be easier anytime you want to practice the takeaway again move back into the alignment sticks , great video btw!! Funny 😁
Exactly what I need. Saw a Gary Player tip “take the club straight back” (but never detailed how to get there) and it made a huge difference just focusing on that but this demo explains how to get there.
Very good demonstartion and explanation – Thank U for this video and for reminding us of this so important part of the golfswng
this video helps a lot, thanks <3
looks horrific
99% of YouTube golf instructors say that “99% of golfers do X” in 99% of their videos. There’s like 80 things I’ve seen that 99% of us do. I’m overdosing on swing thoughts
Sorry you talk to much!! Just say what to do.I can teach the swing in one minute!, the rest is practice!
the golf illusion, make it easy
I love this video. I’ve been to so many golf pros, I’ve told them all my takeaway is the issue as I can’t get into that slot. I always said if I could get the club consistently in the slot it would help so much. This is the best video I’ve seen on the takeaway. I’m going to do this drill. Wish I lived closer I’d come for a lesson. New subscriber here
On the downswing should the club come back down thru the alignment sticks or below the one that’s closer to the body ?
Ive been taking it outside but this season ive been more inside and ive hit a lot of fat shots. Now I know why! Great lesson, thanks!
Funny, there are pros who take the club away all three ways, below, above or on the line, yet their down swings pretty much look the same that split second Before impact.
That's all you can swing, don't teach anyone. Let's fix the flat swing top first.
