For me this video has helped me the most with my takeaway because it taught me the right position I need to be in relative to the shot I was playing, at the top. For me this is important because the takeaway is how you get there. Personally working on your takeaway alone, unless part of a structured plan is useless because to me it looks like your issue is hand depth and height, which really is how you load your …

Yep! There is also this video. Both have helped me tremendously with the action the arms should take. ▶ this video

u/BGOG83 2022 · r/GolfSwing · in “I just want to hit a draw”

This is the most accurate video I’ve ever seen that teaches someone to hit fades and draws the way I was taught. Some people use the club face and swing path, but I was taught by how I drop my hands and how that affects swing path. ▶ this video

u/MarkDaMan22 2022 · r/GolfSwing · in “Really struggling to engage my lower body into my swing. Any tips?”

This is a great example of you not using the natural forces of the club, you need to be swinging in a downforce. ▶ this video this is one of the best golf videos on the internet in my opinion.

Saw this video recently from James Robinson and it's an absolute must watch: ▶ this video Not sure how much of it you'll understand being new but I'd rewatch it multiple times while following along. Pete Cowen in general is an amazing golf instructor.

Pete Cowen is the absolute best. No nonsense, no gimmicks- just gives it to you straight. Another great video is the one he did with James Robinson: ▶ this video

Very over the top, but you use your lower body pretty well for a new golfer tbh. Try starting the downswing through your hips instead of with your arms, and letting your arms naturally fall to get shallower. Check out this video: ▶ this video

u/jasonleebarber 2023 · r/GolfSwing · in “My current swing compared to my previous post. Quit watching YouTube and only focus has been a natural feeling”

I thought about your question again after reading Practical Golf by John Jacobs. Jacobs is considered one of the greatest golf coaches of all time, many of the top tour coaches learned under Jacobs. You asked at what point should you feel like you're using your arms before your shoulders, and Jacobs has the best answer method that I have ever studied in the golf swing. I think the most challenging timing and sync …

u/Normal-Level-7186 2023 · r/golftips · in “Other than my shorts being too short, what should I look to improve on next?”

▶ this video i would look here about the lead arm (starts at about 11:00) I see you rotating your lead shoulder out of position as Pete talks about here. Myself I also see your set up as just a little too far away from the ball and you are too bent over with your hips too far behind you feet.
