- The takeaway is the start to the backswing. Here are 2 great takeaway drills you can be doing so can develop a perfect backswing position at the top.
The takeaway is the start to the backswing. It should maek sense that if you start back right you will be in a more perfect backswing position at the top. This is because starting back wrong gets you out of position. If you are out of position you will have to have flaws or compensations to get to the top. The more flaws or compensations you have, the more you have to practice to time them.
Most people don't have a lot of time to practice their golf swing. So if you can do these takeaway drills it will help you build a perfect top of the backswing position reducing the flaws making it easier to get to impact with both irons and driver.
Give these 2 takeaway drills a try the next time you are at the range and see how it helps you get into the perfect top of the backswing position.

Tip Link: • 2 TAKEAWAY DRILLS TO B... - Спорт
I’ve strayed Paul! Not intentionally but with my lack of attention span and the algorithm of UA-cam shorts I’ve watched every hip bump, knee twist, foot shimmy belly button waggle tip you could think of. My game went to hell in a hand-basket. No lag, leading with my arms, slicing and hitting so fat that I’m sure I hit the core of the earth. I went back to your videos and only your videos. My swing is simpler and easy and the ball goes straight and far. I know there are tons of good coaches and good instructional videos. But yours is the only one that fits me. Thank you for everything.
Yeah, glad you see that all this info can wreck your swing and hopefully you never do that again. Pick a teacher and stick with that person. Glad it's me and glad you got it back.
Last year I bought your book after covid started and changed my arm swing to a body swing. I am 68 and I shot part last week using my new swing. Most swings practiced were above at knee height without a ball. I also had flaws in my grip that the book really helped. I just wanted you to know all the work paid off. It took months but now I don't try to hit the ball it just happens to get in the way. Accuracy is dramatically improved and distance is on its way up with all clubs. Thanks, Mike
Wow. That's great. Yes, it takes work. Daily work but people can easily do this at home if they just put in a little effort. If they do they get the results and you are proof. So glad you did the work and are seeing the payoff. Great feeling.
That first drill displays Monty's beautiful swing so well.
For sure. He has a great swing. Getting a little loose now but as a younger player it was super consistent.
Cheers Paul another awesome drill , keeping it reasonably simple
Glad you like it
Another great lesson. Nice job Paul
Glad you enjoyed it
These are great drills Paul, my takeaway seems to change with every new golf-video I watch. These 2 drills will help me get back to basics. Thanks!!
Stop watching all sorts of instruction. Pick one and stick with it. If it's me that's great. We all have different views of the swing. My stuff is tried and tested on tens of thousands of golfers since 1991 so I know it works. Stay focused.
Hey Paul I'm from Charlotte NC and I definitely loved watching this drill. I am going to apply it to my practice immediately. Thank you for sharing this drill.
Glad it was helpful!
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO! Helping me quiet my dominant right hand!
Happy to help! You certainly don't want to be pulling it back with the dominant hand for sure.
You are a great teacher! I have watched so many of your tips and drills and I am hitting the ball way way better and shooting much better scores than I have for a couple of years.
Thank you. Now you see you can do it. Keep at it. Fun times ahead.
Great drill! Just did these in living room and taking it to range later. Looking forward to playing Bears Best this weekend!
Have fun!
Thank you for your videos. You explain things in a very easy to understand format. You have helped my game so much! Whenever I begin to struggle, I look up one of your videos. Works every time! Thank you!!
That's great. So glad you are doing well. Thanks for the support.
thanks Paul.l m clearing snow one swing at a time.easy to read divots!
Excellent!
Great tips Paul, we're on lockdown still, but I've been practicing every day in the garden 🏌️
Keep it up
Hey Paul. I learned my golf swing from George Knudsen's Natural Golf Swing and your own Swing Machine Golf. I'm enjoying your UA-cam tips more and more. They really help me fine tune everything and give me great check points. Thanks!
Very good. I was a Knudson follower too. Keep at it.
Fantastic tip huge improvement!
Glad it was helpful!
Love the push away swing thought with lead arm 🏌🏻♂️
Yes, that's a good one and easy too.
Soon as I started to pull the club up with my trail arm/dominant hand, everything fell into place.
Your nice and easy swing reminded me you don't need much at all as long as you start the club on the correct path!
That is a big part of it. Makes it much easier to set the top. Do something wrong in the early stages and you have to correct it which make it harder for sure. Glad you go it.
Excellent Drill. .
Thanks 👍
Thanks for your golf swing advice Paul. I am rebuilding my swing with your techniques. I've played a long time now low eighties if im playing well. Never been able to break into the seventies. I have the driver working now with no pain after my swing and most of my icons off a tee are pure. I struggle on my second shot now more than ever. Im getting them in the air just off target. Bring that loose has me spitting the ball left and right just enough to put me back in the high eighties and low nineties. This technique I think is the missing part. My body does feel so much better at the end of my round. You are correct about that. I have a friend who im trying to buy into it. I'll keep you updated. Thanks and nice swing Kid.
You're welcome, Need to figure out the irons. Body = direction = wrists = spin. It is that simple. Release the club and eliminate all slice spin. Once you can do that focus on firing the body in the downswing. Too little and you will pull it. Too much and you will push it. Watch your ball and it will tell you exactly what to do. This is so simple.
So grip and set up first.
Coil, load and hinge going back.
Uncoil and let the club go in the downswing.
Hit the same follow through with all clubs in perfect balance.
This is all in my Body Swing program.
Thanks Paul.. This is another great tip. I have been working on my game watching only your videos and doing the drills either at home /range or in the course. It has worked wonders for my game a . I think the best part is that my game is now more consistent and predictable. My goal in 2021 is to visit and take a few lessons in person towards the end of the year covid permitting.
Fantastic! I like it when people stick to one teacher. Just let me know when you can make it. I would teaching from March 15 - June 15th. You can also work with my through video coaching on my app here: bodyswing.com/coachlink
Another great drill tip Paul. Not dissimilar to one Johnny Revolta recommends in his book.
Thanks. Haven't read any of his stuff. I will have to check it out.
Great drill
Glad you liked it. Thanks.
This looks like what I have been needing in my takeaway.
I will be trying this out tomorrow.
Great. Pretty simple but the takeaway is important to get you start off right. Start wrong and you need other compenstations.
@@paulwilsongolf Great stuff Paul got my swing back with these tips very pleased many thanks
A late Happy New Year Sir! Been under the weather and as always, thank you so much for all that you provide to the golf community! GREAT LESSON!
Happy new year! Glad you are back. Glad you liked the tip. Start off slowly as you get back into it. Lots of easy practice swings.
I'm all in...the club pro from Vegas is going to fix me right up. If I have to take my Ipad Pro out into the yard that's what's gonna happen. Effortless swing and so far it has felt great on this old back.
I sure will. If you are feeling less pain you are already on your way. You've got this.
Thanks
You're welcome.
Thank you Paul
You're welcome.

At least for me, this is one of the most helpful drills ever. Kind of like what Justin Thomas does. I find that if I do this drill at beginning , it gets me off to a good start of my round; especially if I don't have time to warm up.
Glad to help! Just a way to remind yourself to do it.
Thanks, Paul. In my practice backswing, the move is smooth. But in the real swing with the ball in place, the swing gets short and jerky. How can I fix this? Thank you
Here you go:

Plus watch the grooves on your clubs as you take them back. If they blur you're going to fast.
Thanks Paul,
Vert good drills, but i think we have to tilt and keep angles.. What do you think about that ?
Of course you would tilt. Who wants you to lift up going back?
Davis Love JR also taught the parallel concept.
He was pretty good. Long too.
great video paul. in your backswing, do you try to keep the trailing elbow close to your body at the top of the swing? i noticed that i lift my arms at the top causing me to get outaide of the target line when i try to turn my hips for the forward swing. is my analysis correct or am i doing something else wrong?
No. I feel that is too flat. I like the lead arm slightly above the shoulder plane at the top. The reason you are coming over the top is you are hitting with your arms which is leaning you left. Lean left and you will swing left. I would keep reaching up. I like people to feel they are dropping a grapefruit from the right armpit at the top.
Watch these to stop coming over the top:

Hi Paul, during the back swing, when do you start to hinge the club for your famous effortless pain-free swing?
You are coiling back to halfway. From there to the top is where the club hinges. If your wrists are already loose and are hinging fully then you don't have to keep trying to hinge them. Because they are loose they will hinge on their own. If your wrists are too tight then you would have to work on the hinge until they are loose. Once loose then let them hinge on their own. You should watch these:

Hi Paul; Watching your swing over a period of time in your videos, you seem to have a small forward move before you take the club back. Is that intentional or only when you're doing videos, or do you even realize you're doing it? It made me try a different approach to my backswing by using that small move forward, like a forward press with your legs & especially loose arms & wrists before I start which makes it impossible for me to yank the club back quickly into the positions you're trying to prevent. Especially inside. It also provides a bit of momentum to start the swing rather than just from a static address, standing over the ball & overthinking. I don't know if you've recommended this in any past videos but this works really well for me to prevent a fast takeaway & bad positions. Be well!
I don't think about it in any way. I am just trying to stay in motion. I do like the back leg kick to start the swing. I have experimented on this too. My problem has been standing up before I take it back. So I am definitely trying to get rid of it. Try to find something that works for you.
Thnk you Paul, but my problem is when coil, how to manage tilt and coil in the same time, how to deal with the top of the bacswing and what do I do with the weight on my feet to facilitate the perfect backswing?
I think you are making it too complicated and working on too many things. Get something and master it. Then move on to the next. Think of it all and you will get nothing.
Think in simple terms first. You are coiling and hinging. That is the concept. You would stand up going back due to trying to either kill it or you are super tight and lifting up takes the stress out of the coil. If you lift up you need to come back down which is going to be super inconsistent.
So in simple terms see you body as a giant vertical spring. You coil the top. Once tight, you uncoil the bottom. Coil/uncoil
ua-cam.com/video/W8nv99yLMH8/v-deo.html
As you coil the weight will load to the back instep/heel. Again, once you coil you then switch to uncoil. The uncoil starts the downswing. This is the most simple downswing trigger:
ua-cam.com/video/RdphthCQ9VM/v-deo.html
Just do that for a while until you get the body moving.
Conneceted to this spring is your arm unit. It hinges and rehinges. To hinge and rehinge you need loose wrists. So forget the right arm in the backswing. Only think about the left. You hinge until you feel the bone in your writs joint cannot hinge anymore. If you do you are coiling going back then setting this hinge to its maximum. So your thought now is coil ... hinge.
This is a simple way to get it:
ua-cam.com/video/h5DwT6whCuo/v-deo.html
You are not thinking about power going back. You are thinking about coiling and hinging setting yourself up in position to get power coming down and through.
From here you turn your belt buckle to start the downswing and let your arms go (zero hitting or helping the shot).
Get all the way through allowing the club to rehingeb in the through swing:
ua-cam.com/video/5_O0H2QNFo0/v-deo.html
So again, see it in simple terms. Coil uncoil ... hinge rehinge. Stop trying to power it with the arms. This will never work. If you are not hitting you will not be lifting up. You should be maintain the tilt you are after. Give this a try. I would hit 7 iron teed up. Also, do daily practice swings. This is the fastest way to get it.
May I interpret the “take away “ is actually the beginning of the body rotation ( explained in your other body swing videos)?
Yes, your body starts the coil. Arms are attached so they move because you move your body.
What movement you have to make to go up in the backswing? Hands or chest and shoulders?
You need to take your arms and lift them up. Set the wrists. I haven't done this tip yet. It's on my list. I call it lead arm rides up. Follow this tip and make sure your back arm is untucked as opposed to being jammed against your side.
ua-cam.com/video/5_O0H2QNFo0/v-deo.html
I struggled with the backswing until you taught me about the Y formation. If I feel that I maintain the Y formation through the takeaway to the top, it's much easier to set the backswing and stay on plane through the shot.
Very good. Simple thought too so you aren't guessing. Set the backswing then think power in the downswing.
Ok, just a little "UA-cam golf lesson" confessional, here......there are a few other channels I follow and usually come away with something different from each. However, there's only 1 thing I get from each and EVERY one of them that I just can NOT get out of my mind and that's the song I always sang to my grand-babies....the one that goes "Head, shoulders, knees and toes...knees and toes". Does anyone else do (or admit to doing) that or is it just me? But hey, it seems to work!! 😎
If it works keep doing it.
How do I purchase the full body swing book ??
Thank you for you interest in my body swing book. Go here: www.paulwilsongolf.com/site/the-body-swing Scroll down the page and you will see the book. These are digital products. We do not have physical versions of my products anymore.
over last few years instructors are now saying when parallel at half way point, face should be little more closed then straight up and down...have u seen this or recommend it? thnx
I have been saying this for 31+ years. This puts the leading edge parallel to your spine which is square relative to the angle your are on. So yes, keep doing it.
@@paulwilsongolf thanks pal!
I've always struggled with the inside takeaway, i knew it was wrong, however no one really explained how to fix it, that push away with lead hand was the thought i needed, i waa pulling with my right hand instead, practiced this for an hour earlier, going to take a bit of getting used to, wont go to stage to until I'm comfortable with the lead had push away, but certainly stops the inside takeaway that's plagues me
Very good. I used to pull it way inside too. This is a simple thought that fixes it instantly. Just keep thinking about it (maybe forever) as you go into the future.
Great video. I try doing this takeaway but still end up pulling the club back inside. When do you hinge the wrists to stop it from going inside? When you do the takeaway do you feel you push the handle down which makes the club go more vertical which then will stop from going inside? Thanks
I am allowing the club to hinge due to loose wrists. I am not purposely trying to hinge them. If you need to work on it then you would keep hinging it until it does it on its own. If you are not in position you are doing this with your hands (typically the stronger right hand).
These might help:

@@paulwilsongolf thanks for the reply and directing me to a video, much appreciated! You are a great instructor! 👍
What muscles should I feel to start the takeaway
Not really feeling muscles but your shoulders. You are only taking it back 2 feet.
Same drill work for driver?
Yes, one swing all clubs.
How much for a lesson if visiting the resort?
Thank you for your interest in lessons. You can check my pricing here paulwilsongolf.com
I know you go half way parallel to the stick but do you hinge right away after that. I use to hinge much earlier.
Thanks
I may be doing wrong.
Great Video!! Would you advise hovering or sole the club at setup?
Is this the same take away as the driver?
Yes, you only have one swing for all clubs.
@@paulwilsongolf I am trying to emulate your golf swing in order to protect my back from further pain. It is winter here and I have been playing on a golf simulator. I feel I am getting your swing down but I am lacking any distance. I think I will do better on a driving range once the snow goes away. Thanks for the great tips.
Glad you are working on it. Keep perfecting it. The movements and positions have to be precise. Once you get it fire the hips way harder and make sure the wrists are super loose. Do this drill:

How many times I have to watch the stupid PXG advertisement? Geez... Advertising is ruining youtube.
Well you do realize we are basically giving away our life's work for free. So ads at least allow creators to make something. Look at it that way and you will see it differently.
