Gold as always. Can you comment on that 45 degree wrist hinge when it comes to the driver? Is the feel still to have the hands in club out with the driver as well?
Question for you-- from the mechanical pov, could you share why most tutorials focus on the lead arm more than the trail arm? I believe trail arm can control the club and desired patterns more ease into a better sequence & tempo? TIA,
As a 10.5 handicap trying to get to single digits these videos are pure gold. I walked 9 today and worked on this at the range before the round. Then I focused on it during my practice swings. Got up to the ball and just made great contact the whole round. Not too bad, I hit 5 out of 7 fairways and 4 greens in reg. Two of the missed greens were just short by 2-5 yards so more of a wrong club choice, not swing related. I had 4 pars and 5 bogeys. First three bogeys were because my putts burned the right edge. Going back to watch the video on every putt is a straight putt.
Adam, when you mentioned your dad about practicing your take away reminds me of what my high school baseball coach would always say, “practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.” The point being is, don’t practice bad habits.
Realistic rehearsal with the club on the ground! This will be THE thing for me the next time at the range. Just like you pointed out, my rehearsal backswing (with club head hovering a foot in the air) looks good, but the real backswing always looks terrible, and I have been struggling with this. I will definitely practice this way now. Thank you for this, Adam.
Yup! A very common mistake that a lot of golfers do in the rehearsal. A good way to practice this is to 1) hover the club a foot from the ground and go to your set position. 2) set club on the ground and go back to the same set position from when you were hovering the club
This video definitely resonates with me. I've actually tried to hinge it slowly at the beginning of the takeaway and then blending my turn into it and it's definitely a much better position! I have always just immediately started my backswing with a huge turn and that def had me sucked in.
I have never been a training aid type guy but I did purchase one that was highly recommended to me to help me with this exact thing, and it works wonders. At least it did for me. It gets you to the position you talk about here in the video and I love it. Your tips work great in conjunction with the device to help ensure that you are using it properly. Not sure if it's ok to give it a plug on your video but the initials are PS. Most will know what I'm referring to. Great video as always!
This is a great video. I would love to see a video about the role of the left hand in a right handed swing, because I feel like the left hand should be dominant for consistency. There's a great video of John Daly talking about pitching and the takeaway where he basically says he practices left handed and feel like the right hand is along for the ride when gripping the club. Would you consider exploring that in a video?
Love the bump at setup. Works through the all the clubs in the bag❤. In your opinion, why is this not discussed/recommended in “general” golf instruction?
Brilliant contents mate am struggling with over the top a lot losing lots of distance small par 4s are turning to long for me losing heart at the moment any easy tips for this please
I noticed that the weight is out on his left toe post impact and up into the finish and his foot spins out. I do that too. What is the key to getting the weight and pressure on the left heel instead of the toe?
Golf is a game of fundamentals not power. A 73 year old man just wore me out. Straight and steady was his game plan and his technique made it possible.
I just played with a man everyone else called mr chippy. First time meeting him. He’s about 60 I’d say. His backswing went about hip height, maybe slightly higher. Yet he was playing these 250 yard drives with a draw in the middle of the fairway every time. The same with his irons, he’d drive it dead straight. Then pull a mid iron, do the same short backswing and get it on the green every time. I have no clue how he got so much power from his backswing, it was crazy to watch. And I saw why they called him mr chippy. He chipped in about 3 times in 18 rounds it was crazy to watch lol. Meanwhile I topped half my tea shots and chunked all my approach shots

The Best in the Business. Another gem
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I’ve never loved a stranger so much, thank you Adam!! 😂❤
For anyone who has been following you , this is a gem. Another piece of the puzzle 👌. Saved forever

Awesome video Adam ! You make it so easy to understand the fundamentals that you teach! Thank you
Has to be some of the very best golf instruction. Very much appreciated!

Great idea,finger leading swing.Much needed in my case thanks.

Good explanation of the direction of the trail hand hinge with the finger pointing. Can you do something similar for lead hand?😊

This dude really is the absolute best golf coach on youtube.

Been Struggling with inside takeaways the past few months and these videos are gold! Thanks Adam! Also Big Kev has the best job imo
You got this! And yes, Big Kev pretty much gets free lessons haha
should we bring him on the channel?
@@PorzakGolf haha I think we have to! I bet he is dying to show off his swing!
@@PorzakGolfyes!
You guys know what you're about. I already see improvement in my form and ball-striking from your early extension video.

Same feeling for hybrids and woods?
Is there a reason to not flair the front foot? Working on set up and this drill which I love the visual aid in my peripheral.
I noticed that the weight is out on his left toe post impact and up into the finish and his foot spins out. I do that too. What is the key to getting the weight and pressure on the left heel instead of the toe?
Really helpful and understandable - thanks!
You're very welcome!
Big ask but any chance of a uk tour
Inside takeaway plagued me for years, a very hard habit to break, excellent instruction
Thank you!
How does one go about getting a lesson?

Can’t wait to hear from ya!
@@PorzakGolf sounds good thank you.
I’ve been so focused on keeping a wide takeaway it got a little bit outside 🤦♂️

💯💯💯
But power is what dictates your potential. In order to play the game at the highest levels you have to have distance.
Power is nothing if you dont hit it pure.@llsrrll6930

How about videos for an outside takeaway or laid off at the top. Instead of doing inside takeaway and accross on repeat.
Gday Adam & Mike
Small correction in yet another outstanding lesson.
Check point 1 is always look good 🤣🏌️♂️
