The ONLY Drill You Need For The TAKEAWAY

u/BlankStareFace 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “post-lesson swing update (5 months in, 30ish hcp)”

Looks like a lot of good progress, honestly. I'd stick with the lessons if you like the teacher and can afford it. The one thing I see is that you will want more wrist hinge in the backswing. I LOVE Adam Porzak's videos teaching about this - getting the wrist set and then turning - ▶ this video

Setup your trail foot needs to be square, not flared. Non-Negotiable, especially for driver. Pressure in the backswing and transition is on the inside of the foot. You need it square to load it properly. Takeaway is too flat and inside: ▶ this video Arms are getting disconnected with the body's turn and getting behind you. In golf the hands stay in front of your body's turn all through the backswing, otherwise you …

u/TrueDatBro808 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “Looking for constructive criticism…”

1. Too upright posture 2. Big inside takeaway with rolling of forearms that creates open face 3. Barely any hip turn and laid off at top 4. Flat swing plane because of lack of spine tilt 5. Just an arm swing on the way down with face wide 6. You are totally reliant on hand action (bec of no lower body rotation) to close face and dont do it here Learn to tilt: ▶ this video Learn proper takeaway: ▶ this video Then …

Have to actually turn your shoulders (left drives it) as you make that hinge. Check this out. Easier to watch than I can explain in words. ▶ this video Dm me with questions

Hey man, I’m right there with you at 25 HC so won’t try to offer my own advice but I did just watch this video: ▶ this video and I think it might apply to your swing as well. Hope it helps!

Lose that alignment stick it's messing you up. You're massively overdoing the in-to-out. The feeling on the takeaway should be that your hands go straight back while your right rear pocket goes forward towards the target. You don't need to do anything with your arms to bring the club inside, your body rotation will do it. All you need to do is hinge your wrists and make a proper turn. Watch this Porzak video on the …

Should basically be a putting stroke to start it off, like your shoulders moving rather than turning your hips right away. Use this: ▶ this video

u/JiggieSmalls 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “How do I make my arms go down not towards ball”

It’s about fixing your takeaway. Thinking about wrist set actively as a swing thought isn’t really advised. It takes care of itself. Focus on takeaway thoughts and the rest falls into place. Being on plane both back and down is the goal. ▶ this video

u/gaffs82 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “One month progress”

What you have to understand is that if all the things that you mentioned aren’t right the impact position won’t be right either. Your impact position is a product of all that goes before it. Your brain is smart and it knows that the objective is to hit the ball. So it will tell the body to get in whatever position it can do to allow that club to hit the back of the ball. People try for years to get rid of that early …

u/Sport_Psychologist 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “Lead arm working away”

You're correct. In the past, have you worked on your takeaway being too far to the inside? If so, you seem to have acheived this by losing seperation between the arm and body, as opposed to setting the club correctly. See this video for good takeaway tips and to see the difference: ▶ this video I tend to see this happen when people use a tourstick (or shaft). They succesfully avoid the tourstick, but do it by …

Hard to say without a couple more details but I’ll throw a couple suggestions. If you feel you’re an athletic person (which swing suggests IMO) you could try a feel of the arms leading the hips in the backswing and downswing. Your left hip appears to initiate the takeaway which is going to cause you to be flatter. If you’re more analytical ▶ this video would probably be beneficial. As cliche as it sounds good golf …
