      By far, this is the BEST video and explanation on mastering the takeaway. It took me from a double-digit golfer to single-digits and becoming one of the longest hitters in my golfing group. I'm truly enjoying my golf game right now and looking forward to continuing to learn from you and Adam's video lessons. Keep up the GREAT work, it truly has transformed my game and I'm sure it has done the same for others as well. Can't say enough about how GREAT the videos you guys put out, easy to understand and even easier to practice. Thank you to you both.

    OK, GOOD STUFF ! 1) Keep your hands centered with the CL of chest, ENTIRE SWING.2) This is a lead side, body powered swing, for me. The trail side is passive. 3) I also set the shaft at the start-up trigger, aligning with the lead arm, pointing to the swing radius pt ( lead arm-pit area ) and maintain this alignment entire swing to control the arc radius, low pt of the swing. The connected lead side ( NO ARM SWINGING) How do you get the body starts & continues the swing to the "end" of the takeway. Now what ??? How do yo get the lead arm/ club unit up to th shoulder line with-out "lifting" the arms off the body. BTW, I wish you & Porzack had come along 10 yrs ago. I'm 73, and I've wasted a lot of time learning bad technique.

    I believe this is the best instruction I have read on line. Simple without over talking. I believe I swing in that manner; however, I sweep the ball and do not feel I am not hitting the back of the ballon the downswing. I occasionally take a small divot but not consistently. Should my angle of attack be more angled down to get to the back of the ball? Hope you can help. I do believe I have found a new on line swing coach. Thank you very much.

    Easy with a wedge,,, but longer irons like a 7 iron is where I struggle. Even though it "should" be the same swing the feel is different somehow.

    • @GolfPitt
      @GolfPitt  День тому +1

      It’s because the club is longer. The ball is further away from you and the line angel is different. I bet the rhythm of the backswing gets a little quicker when you have a longer club en hence the mechanics breakdown.. try really slowing it down in the takeaway

  • @OctaneAndAmmo
    @OctaneAndAmmo 8 днів тому +1

    I have been working on this premise for several years and I think the biggest issue I have is that the right arm stays on top of the left instead of bending up. It causes me to not be as deep on my backswing and be across the line the longer the club.

    • @GolfPitt
      @GolfPitt  День тому +1

      take some back swings with your right hand open, so it can’t impart any influence on the club… this is going to give your lead arm a good workout and should help.
      And if that doesn’t work, just try doing your best jon rahm imitation!! 😂. I say this jokingly but not really. We have many many very good players who use visuals as feels, a “short jon rahm” is one very effective one!

    One thing I've always been stuck on, you get the set position, turn to the top, and then turn back through. But do you release the set position? or do you hold that angle you've created through and release it beyond the ball?

    • @GolfPitt
      @GolfPitt  2 дні тому +1

      that is a great question and will be covered in detail in an upcoming video on the release! At the end of the day we don’t feel like we’re trying to hold the angle through the golf ball. the force of the rotation of the swing would mean that you were fighting the natural energy of the club.
      that said a lot of people who have been casting may need to feel more of their hands and handle accelerating past the golf ball through impact which in the near term may feel like your not releasing the set position at first….
      We want to get all of the energy we can out of that set position we create into and through the ball.

      check your hand path and make sure it’s not moving out while you do this. Also simply put if the club is too far outside at that point you can simply try to feel slightly more inside and it’ll actually be right on plane.

  • @mesillahills
    @mesillahills 7 днів тому +1

    Where you are going all wrong is in execution. In a touring pro "connected" swing the arms and shoulders only go along for the ride. It is the big body trunk muscles which take the club back. The path back is determined by them. This is why both Nicklaus and Palmer insisted that the first four inches of the take-away are the most important part of the backswing. That is because it is the only place in the swing where the big body trunk muscles can initiate the swing. Once past that point the swing is what you are teaching. And that is an unconnected swing that is loaded with a need for timing. That timing NEVER carries to the first tee. Some touring pros say their golf swing is only as good as the first four inches of the take-away. Hal Sutton said that. What I am saying is not particularly easy to do when you have done it wrong all your life. I like to think it is the muscles on my side located just above my belt line. And you can't take it back EVEN A SMIDGE with your arms and shoulders. Wrists ALONE are another issue for some golfers. They can be moved without moving the arms and shoulders. Tom Weisskopf did that. All this is also how you also get "level". You are moving everything around a single axis. The need for timing is dramatically reduced. Swings are getting shorter today. Now you know why.

    uhh ok skip to 6:59 for the actual instruction. so much wasted time barfing about angles and checkpoints. if you're supposed to move your body and chest not your arms and hands, a movement that is completely counter-intuitive and not what 99.9% of golfers would naturally think to do, maybe you want to start with that, right? it's difficult to master the takeaway when you don't know what to do. i still don't know if i believe him.
