steve great drill and thought…but would this fall under the umbrella of a one piece takeaway?

this video is spot on.

can i send you my video of playing golf, and you tell me what i’m doing wrong? xD

i’m turning 16 and my game is ****!
last year i got down to hcp 27 and now its getting worse….bad shit

that’s a nasty *** looking driving range

great info on the take away, great lesson. also, what a beautiful swing you’ve got..
thx

great tips mate.

Great tutorial!

P.S Take the ’s’ out of esspecially, it’s especially. ;D

Thanks…..It all makes sense….now to implement it on my spastic swing!

Thanks Steve - what a wonderful and simple explanation of the takeaway! I love it. Cheers Jan - downunder.

Pretty nice swing, thanks for the instruction!!

Steve, in your opinion, at what point should the right elbow start to break on the backswing? I reckon at about eight o clock position. Any earlier and the club will go on an inside path causing all sorts of problems. Also having watched your clip on the grip I have switched from an interlocking to an overlapping grip. My right hand tended to be dominant causing me to hit at the ball and have no release. Its a difficult change after 7 years of interlock but I can see good results already. Thanks

Great looking swing!

best on site very good

Thanks “RingerDaMan” for posting this video,
very simple instructions for something that
can help my swing. u da man.

RdSoxFan618;On the driver, the ball should be aligned with you left heal. As you go to the irons you should be inside the left heal.(2)Your left arm are should naturally bend;right arm relitively straight!(3)The plane of the swing should be just above the shoulder blades..not below or even..somewhere toward the upper part of the shoulders. Remember..keep your head and feet still..in other words-don’t do the up and down and up again motion!! Keep the club head low and square-first few inches!!

This is basically what I have been trying to convey. Don’t get flippy with the hands.Try to take it away in ONE piece and square(to the ball) for the first several inches(about a foot to 16 inches or so. This allows you to get square at the top!!

steve you are da man.been tryin to play golf for about 5 years had a couple of leasons in the beginning,occasionally broke 100.last year nearly put my clubs on ebay but thought better of it, so i had a lesson a month over the winter, guess what i have been hitting the ball much better but my scores havent improved.last week i discovered this lesson practiced at the range a couple of times and been for a round tonight, steve i went around in 88 thanks steve you really are da man.

Hi Steve, great video. I went to the range and tried this out yesterday, and I was very much hitting it straighter. I just have a few questions:

1) I was hitting VERY low trajectory shots. Should I move my stance back (move the ball up?)

2) What happens after the takeaway? I took it as you bend your left arm in? (I’m a lefty, right arm for you I believe)

3) What is the correct plane? You could be bringing the club up at too high or you could be bringing the club up too low.

Thanks

It is imperative that on your driver your swing plane is low and flat on the takeaway. The wrists will naturally hinge on the backswing and this promotes the sweeping motion on the downswing. This lesson does a great job in teaching the first motion to ensure a successful swing. The steeper the swing with the driver on the takeaway the greater chance the golfer will slice the shot. 30 minutes on the range after watching this video my slice is gone and I am hitting the ball 240 again. Thanks!!!

I have had a number of lessons to cure my inside/over the top swing but nothing has got my backswing into the correct path until I found your video! Less is more! you are a very natural, informative teacher, thanks

for me this guy is a teacher by nature. i´m a beginner at golf and try to add his tips to establish my swing. actualy yesterday on the range i found out me tending to bent the left arm on backswing. so i tried to hold it more stiff but this caused a lot of tension. the fullswing method feels like to fix this. only i help a bit with my left knee turning towards the ball for a better turn. is this okay? or is this might caused by a wrong setup?

I really enjoyed these videos. It’s so different from all the glitzy guys with their know-it-all attitude and showbiz gloss that you see jockeying for attention on Golflink.
This is a young, talented, articulate guy imbued with the spirit of golf showing us how to improve our play and talking to us from some dry, dusty course in the desert.
Keep the pearls of wisdom coming Steve until you get snapped up by the golf Establishment and thanks for sharing.

that was an awesome lesson. Wish all golfers could see this.
Thank you!

You have a gift. I would like to see you put some more videos up. Keep up the great work.

Great information! Definitely helps with the full swing. Question: What about short game take away where you have to set wrists quickly? Example: Sand shots, flop shots, and less than full swings shots where less than a full swing is needed? Any help is appreciated.
