In this video we're going to talk about how to master the one-piece takeaway. So what does one-piece takeaway mean? From address into my takeaway the shoulders, arms, and wrists are working together simultaneously. The other critical factor in the one-piece takeaway is that the segments work collectively together and they work at the same rate. It's like one package.
Why is this important? Probably more than half of all swing faults I see stem from something that happened in the takeaway. The most common fault would be forearm roll.
I have three drills for the one-piece takeaway.
Drill #1: For the first version of this drill, I'm going to take my setup to a golf ball. I'm going to put a second golf ball about a foot behind the first ball. From face on, the second ball is about even with the middle of my right foot.
My goal here is I want the club head and the grip in my hands to move back at the same rate. That means if the club head has moved back three inches, the grip has moved back three inches. By the time I get to the second ball, you'll see the butt of the club is pointed just inside my right thigh .
For the second version of this same drill, the second ball goes from a foot behind the main golf ball to right behind it. This actually works even better if you have a heavier object right immediately behind it - like a basketball or something heavier. It would create that feel even better because you're going to really feel like those hands are moving more with the club. In this version, I'm going to try and push and roll the ball back in the early phases of my takeaway. I can even hit balls with that.
You should be doing drills and looking for a feel of a certain position or movement that you're working on. You should not be worried about how you hit the ball.
Drill #2: I've got sticks on the ground. I've got to stick on my toe line and I have a second stick, which is roughly at about 30 degrees. My goal during my takeaway is the club head and hands move about the same rate to about my right thigh By the time the club head gets 45 degrees from the ground, the club head would be on that 30 degree mark or stick. So I pause at my right thigh, pause at the 30 degree stick, and then make a swing from there.
Drill #3: This one I was taught when I was like little. You take your club and when you grip it, you're going to grip down the shaft about halfway down the club to the point where the butt of the club sticks in about at your belly button or middle stomach. I'm going to grip it so it's touching my stomach. I'm going to take a setup down to the golf ball and do my turn. I love this for about the first half of it until about that 30 degree stick, and then from there I want you to take that club off your stomach and get the shaft feeling vertical. So you just got a little two for one I'm going to do a takeaway to that halfway back point. From there, I'm going to get that club shaft working vertical.
So, there’s 3-1/2 (or 3-1/4) drills for one-piece takeaway. All the segments moving together at the same time, connected. It's important so that you set yourself up for everything else during your backswing.

Dude, the Golf Channel needs to hire you. Those other guys on there
make it way too complicated. Your teaching is far superior.
Haha thanks for the feedback, George! Appreciate it!
Eric so glad I found you. To be truly honest I watch your lessons almost exclusively.
Happy to have you here my friend!
Thx Eric......you have become my favorite online coach....always quality stuff with out ego :)
Appreciate it!
As always. Very good and clear instructions. Thanks!
Thanks, Omar!
Another masterpiece of simplicity and clarity. Thanks Eric
Appreciate it Gordon!
You have great tips and drills. I’ve been watching your videos for awhile.
My swing faults are just so ingrained. Keep them coming.
Thanks
Thanks, Kevin! Appreciate you watching. Check out Cogornogolf.com if you ever want us to help!
Nice video, easy to understand and very helpful....thanks.
Appreciate it!
Great drills Eric.
Your right, every year with the "Belly Button Drill" the club does seem to get further away.
Time to work on diet and fitness drills also.
Thanks for all of your efforts with helping us all with your videos.
Lol :)
Best video on the takeaway
Thanks!!
you are the best instructor.
Appreciate it!
Great info !! I keep the one piece take away longer than you suggest, I keep it one piece as long as I can then untwist my body to create torque into the ball, I'm trying to get less moving parts in my swing
All good if that works for ya!
Hi Eric!
Thanks for all the great content.
Why dont you like to keep the one-pice take away to parallel?
Another brilliant video. Thanks also for putting the paid subscription trailer at the end.
Thanks man!
Eric have you made a video of what happens to the one piece takeaway in the downswing. If you merely come back down in one piece you will likely go over the top? Thanks for your great work.
This would be the simple version rick:
ruclips.net/video/7-IIGQfBVdc/видео.html
the reality is the right arm and wrist will bend....which narrows the downswing arc and shallows the shaft in downswing
So few talking about this anymore but I know for myself, when I’m practicing this intentionally my ball striking improves significantly and my swing feels “automatic”. Good stuff Eric!
I’ll add this to what I do, I also use a push off inside lead foot to the one piece as it helps me get my pressure shifted in sequence,
I like it, Troy! Gets your swing off to a good start! The last thing we want to do it make an error early that compounds mistakes later on.
Thanks Eric. I think this can help me stop rolling my hands in the takeaway.😄👍
Absolutely can, Carl. Watch our other videos on takeaway...they should definitely help!
Thanks Eric ... great video as always ... it will be possible to make a video about the swing in fairway bunker .... I have read that it is the hardest ... Thanks
Perhaps someday...most of the more specific shots will prob be on membership site
Loving the 241 drill, seen the club in the belly button drill before, as always you take it to the next level, thanks 🙏
My pleasure my friend
Really really good stuff!
Appreciate it Charlie
Ball of steel/Eyeline golf works very well with drill #1
Love it!
Very very useful for someone like me who has been sucking the club inside for too long to remember - many thanks
Thanks, Darren!
Eric, could you explain why the one-piece upper body takeaway might be more beneficial than a whole body takeaway that includes the lower body as well? From the takeaway I’m used to rotating my hips, and moving my arms up at the same time. Does arms-first with a planted lower body at takeaway promote more club head speed or greater efficiency? Trying to understand the ‘why’ behind it. Thanks, James.
Hey James!
Starting the swing primarily with the body motions (feeling a lot of chest/shoulders/core) helps keep the club head on plane.
NOT feeling a lot of the arms and hands early...they are more passive and more or less along for the ride (there's not an excessive amount of wrist hinge, wrist extension, or forearm rotation). There is SOME hip movement...your hips should be rotated about 15* by P2 (when the shaft is parallel to the ground in the takeaway).
Hope this helps!
@@CogornoGolf Makes sense. Thank you!
Been doing these every day, the feel is I am connected to the club. The results are better contacted, straighter ball flight, crisper sound, added distance. Thanks!
Good stuff! My pleasure.
Thanks again Eric. I am trying to understand the backswing feels and this really helps. In your mind are there some pre-swing feels that you look for before you hit a shot?
Definitely, but that will be very very player dependent...
Hey Eric. Just coming back to this video after struggling with the takeaway. Does the butt to right thigh apply to all clubs ?
Yes!
Great video...my question is do you feel the takeaway hinge and downSwing with both hands or one hand at different stages
Unfortunately thats not a 2+2=4 question. The answer will be different per player in terms of feel.
@@CogornoGolf clear as mud but thank you for the reply... Guess like you said depends if they have a dominant hand.
Ask 100 good players this and you may get 60 different answers. Feels will be subjective. Both hands are involved the entire time, neither more dominant.
@@CogornoGolf oh I see... I was feeling taking club back with both hands then hinge and pull the chain with my right as I get a baby draw... So I understand it both hands take it back and both swing it through... But some may feel it in right hand and some may feel it in the left but it's just a feel nothing more nothing less.... So me feeling a hinge In the right hand and pulling the chain is just my feel it's not wrong just my feel?...
How come we don’t play from a correct p2 position? Wouldn’t that correct a lot of bad swing issues? I know a lot of pros warm up on range doing that . Good tips Eric
Hey Paul! Sometimes....but there can certainly be a lot of problems that happen later on even with a perfect P2
Love your clarity. The degrees you mentioned really don’t mean anything to me. That’s a bit too technical for me. I’m sure it is good for the math guy. Would you address the feeling for the right hip (trail hip) in the back swing? I think you said that one can’t turn the trail hip too much.
Thanks!
Def looking for right hip to work back and typically work slightly toward target (maybe 1 inch)
Eric Cogorno Golf - i don’t understand the last part about the hip moving 1 inch towards the target. Is that in the downswing?
If you took your setup
Put a wall on your right hip
As you turn your hips
Your right hip should get farther from the wall (closer to target)
Should the downswing be from body or arm motion?
Hey Robert!
Both.
Cannot swing without both.
Of course what you are asking is what to FEEL....which is dependent on what YOU do.
Hey Eric good stuff my question is i hear so many instructor's talk alot about what the shoulders are doing and not enough on what the ribcage is doing in the takeaway, the shoulders sits on top of the trunk (chest) or ribcage i recently only seen a handful of instructor's talk in depth about how to use the rib cage in the takeaway and follow through i been doing this lately and it glues everything together so easy ,powerful ,repeatable when I just use my shoulders I slap at the ball weak type shots but when I ingage my ribcage or core back and threw powerful and accurate what's your thoughts on this,,?
Hey Anthony! Thanks! Good topic....will put it on the list and see if we can do something about it
When do the hips start to turn?
Right away....hips about 15* turned by takeaway (shaft parallel to ground) then about 30* by left arm parallel in backswing then 45* ish by top
@@CogornoGolf Thank you.
The guys in the back would definitely benefit watching this video! :)
:)
Eric the take away is super easy - if they can't get that right they should be playing another game not golf.
With it were that simple, my friend! Hope you are well.
