Congrats on 100k subs. You deserve it, but I'm also a little bummed that I have to share these videos with so many people. Absolutely the best coach that I've found on youtube.
Just wanted to share my story of how I came to your channel. I started golfing last fall, and my cousin is a d1 golfer whom I asked for advice what to focus on and what is important. He told me the basics and referred to your channel, and said your the best yt golf teacher. You helped me out a ton progression wise, nice and simple tips easy to understand. Played my first tournament 2 days ago and shot a 91!
I started golf 8-9 months ago I’m right there with you. I watch mainly porzak and Padraig Harrington. Both are exceptional. I haven’t played a tournament yet, but the last month or two, I’ve been consistently shooting in the high 80s (I do give myself breakfast balls on the first and 10th tee).
Watch this video in conjunction with - Golf grip tips - proper grip and hip anchor point. Dated June 7th 2021. I think doing that will help a lot with tying a few things together. Excellent as always Mr P.
Adam, thank you for the breakdown of your swing fixes. It finally made sense to me after lots of instructions. It has come full circle and am now hitting the ball in the dead center of the club and compressing better than before... also have gone from high 80's to high 70's.
Congrats on 100k! Been following since you were around 20k. Love your content, best golf instructor on the internet hands down! You deserve millions, you've made my game so much better, wish I could get a lesson in person
I’ve watched all of your videos. I believe this one is thee most important one by far. If you can nail the first part of the swing, everything else happens naturally. Cheers
Super coaching in a lovely setting. What's not to like. Glad I've found you. Explains for me the guff around a 2 piece takeaway I never could get my head or body around.
I use this instruction along with the hip set. I don’t have to swing with much effort now to achieve the same distance. My back thanks you. I’m still working on getting rid of a 5 yard draw. The stinger video added a new shot to my game. I love it to stay in the short grass on tight fairways and windy conditions. Some instructors have a lot of knowledge but teaching is about making it simple to digest. You possess those skills.
The set position is when the hands reach pocket high, and the club is fully set between the lead arm and club… that is the same for every club, but because of the width of stance between a wedge and a driver, there is a difference in the amount of time it takes to get there… that being said, a driver feels like a more subtle hinge, where as a wedge feels more immediate
Just watching these videos alone have shaved 10 strokes off my scores in the last 6 months! Very concise and accurate descriptions and I can only dream of having a lesson with you one day!
Thanks for doing so much videos, to repeat and repeat...ther's always something i miss or forget. Doing what you teach makes me more efficient and when i miss i can often see where i was wrong. Th ehip bump for example is not so clear for me, i will surch some of your videos. Wish you 200k and more !
Went out and try this on the range worked out perfect The only problem I had it was trying to do this with my driver and it made me snap hook it so I had to go back to my old setup with the driver.... So what do you do in relation to what you're talking about with the driver?
Adam, I have been messing around with pushing down on the handle in my takeaway. What a great move. I was doing it with my driver and I was hitting ball speeds in the low 180's w/a power fade. Never have I gotten there and I'm 54 years old. It's giving me a few extra yards w/ all my clubs and it is starting to feel normal now. I absolutely love this move as I always sucked the club inside as you show at :26. Thanks again for the great content.
Judging from some of the questions below, it seems like it would be beneficial to do this lesson with a Driver. I can execute this with short clubs but have difficulty with long clubs.
Adam. It would be great if you could do a video on the role of the right wrist in the backswing? I think it would help a lot of us, who regularly follow you.
I always tried many ways to perfect the backswing especially when I consider the downswing is the mere of the B/S. so when on the downswing and you reach the first part of the takeaway your wrists are still hinged and get the club head speed by unhinging quick as late as you can at the ball
Why not just have him turn w a 1 piece takeaway so the wrist hinge naturally occurs once the knees and waist are done turning at apx 45 degrees? Otherwise this manual wrist hinge method will tighten the forearms/wrists making it impossible to completely relax them during downswing. What do u think coach?
for a player with a strong grip the same rules apply. Just make sure that toe is a little bit more up to the sky in the takeaway and the club face feels a little open because a stronger grip tends to shut the face and that is not ideal when it comes to the ability to rotate through impact without having to hold on for dear life to prevent from missing it way left
@@PorzakGolfAdam, at check point 1 is the lead wrist flat or slightly extended? I have a fairly neutral grip however anytime I set the club parallel to target and even with my toe line, club face vertical I have a cupped lead wrist. If I flatten my lead wrist, the club face closes and inevitably hook the ball. I got a bad case of the hooks so I use this drill as a building block to combat my excessive in to out path.
I’d be interested to hear the answer to this too. Think I’m the same. A tiny difference in my wrist can either open the face or close it just as easily. It’s like walking on a tightrope and you can fall excessively either side. Definitely takeaway is the hardest part of the swing for me to achieve correctly.
I have a really strong grip and do this drill/take away and it works. First, I did the hinge seperately and then turn and it was best contact I've ever made. Now I'm blending the hinge and turn and its still working.
No matter what approach to the backswing I take I always hit behind the ball on the down swing? I’ll try every UA-cam approach and I still hit behind the ball.
Rory was just talking about the toe line that you reference all the time. Says he focuses on hitting that spot and everything falls into place from there…….thats how I know you are not a gimmick channel and teach sound principles. When Pros are essentially doing the same thing you teach….
Thanks for your videos! I’m off 4 and chasing scratch. I have been watching your videos for a month now and feel like my ball striking has improved 20% already. For the first time ever I feel like o know what I’m doing!! 👍
The door stops under the feet! You’ve been preaching this for years! And here’s more evidence of it! ua-cam.com/users/shorts7S1NdjgmURM?si=sbEuvChFCWimRnIU Love the channel Adam! All the way from New Orleans. Keep bringing world class content.

I appreciate that! But there is no gate keeping here!

This video helped me a lot. I was kinda stuck with way too many swing thoughts , this video helped me simplify my swing. Playing much better golf now.

I love how simple you make the golf swing.
Is the hinge the same for all clubs?
I was wondering the same!!
There is a driver video I think I’ve seen on this channel where you delay the hinge slightly, but the take away angle is essentially the same.
Wish that video was linked

Brilliant instruction. Your videos have changed my game immeasurably.
I have struggled with this for a long time. Your clear concise video will give me something to work on to help improve my backswing.
Thank You.
Cheers
Love this, struggling w, takeaway and the connected swing concept really resonated with me

Make sure your hands are back to your setup. Hands in club head out. Watch Mike Malaska. I also enjoyed this video. Great instructions
This video really helps me fix my takeaway problem,thanks
Simplest explanation of the takeaway ever.
Great drills. Great content. Happy I've found you.
Congrats on 100k subs… well deserved
Thank you so much 😀🎉
Great info, going to have to check my swing.
Excellent video man. Do you move your arms on the hinge section or do you just hinge your hands and then turn?
Adam, I have been messing around with pushing down on the handle in my takeaway. What a great move. I was doing it with my driver and I was hitting ball speeds in the low 180's w/a power fade.

Best freaking video to understand the move!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love this
This Video was helpful. Thank you
This is my number 1 drill kudos
Great lesson mr p
Judging from some of the questions below, it seems like it would be beneficial to do this lesson with a Driver. I can execute this with short clubs but have difficulty with long clubs.
Check out more videos!!! we have so many covering all these topics with the driver
Congrats on 100k!!! Get this man his plaque!!!
😎🎉
Question : does this hinge / takeaway works with the driver or is it mainly for your irons only?
Thank you in advance
This is good advice. 👍🏽
Same feeling for woods, hybrids?
Hey coach, is this the same takeaway for driver?
Kirt is an amazing student, and fast learner.
Best drill ever!! However I’m seriously struggling with incorporating the takeaway in a proper swing.
What about longer clubs? 45 degree from the ball or from the left heel ( tangil point)? Thnks
Does this drill setup work with all clubs?
Adam. It would be great if you could do a video on the role of the right wrist in the backswing? I think it would help a lot of us, who regularly follow you.
We got you covered! We posted a clip on this on our Instagram page.

omg thanks it í vẻy good!
Does this apply to all clubs in the bag especially driver?
Absolutely
Is that the same with driver ?
Why is checkpoint 1 the perfect spot? How do you get the club back to the ball. No one ever seems to b explain this? When I try I hit behind the ball.
100k!! 🐐♥️
🥳

Otherwise this manual wrist hinge method will tighten the forearms/wrists making it impossible to completely relax them during downswing. What do u think coach?
How about for a player who has a strong grip?
I think many people ditch the strong grip for irons and keep for driver.
for a player with a strong grip the same rules apply. Just make sure that toe is a little bit more up to the sky in the takeaway and the club face feels a little open because a stronger grip tends to shut the face and that is not ideal when it comes to the ability to rotate through impact without having to hold on for dear life to prevent from missing it way left

Inside left hip or thigh?

I'm a 5.7 and chasing it as well. We'll get there one day soon!

Love the channel Adam! All the way from New Orleans. Keep bringing world class content.
Perfecting your takeaway is key - otherwise you might end up taking away the whole golf course with your shots! 😂⛳
Club face is too shut, but yes good point on the take away !!
