The Secret To A Perfect Takeaway || 3 Tips

- In this video, Mike Pitt teaches you his secret to the PERFECT takeaway. The 3 tips he goes over for the takeaway are 1) A Leverage Grip 2) Set Up and 3) wrist hinge in the takeaway. Many golfers find it hard to reach the set position (when the golf club is fully set) because many amatuers move their wrists isolated from the body's turn. But in Mike's example, he teaches you how to mesh those two together in order to have a perfect takeawy in minutes.

Have any questions for me? Let me know in comments below and I'll get back to you! ⛳
My high school kid having this problem. With her hands behind and casting. Will try this out!
Also are you palm griping the club instead of fingers?
So we'll explained, I haven't seen this explained so we'll before.
I've been working on the "keep arms together and tuck trail elbow" routine... Works great one day and then falls apart.
I get the impression that the half swing you show often gets ruined by a poor second half of full backswing, but your descriptions including shaft lean angle are so clear. Thanks
This tip works like a charm. When you execute it, your shaft mimics or runs through your right forearm every single time. When I do it, the shaft travels between my forearms - maintaining the Triangle. Is there a difference between the two or is one better than the other? Thanks in advance for your valuable time.
This is arguably the best takeaway video I’ve never seen and trust me I’ve watched my share lol. Two things to add are that if I have too much shaft lean at set up or get my left hand too strong that too tends to suck the club more too inside. I love the one handed left arm drill because you can play around with your set up and see what happens if you try to vary grip, posture, etc
Excellent presentation, most important is that you are a great communicator and teacher. Keeping information simple and to the point!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dude, you’re the best kept secret on RUclips. Thanks for the help. Where do you give lessons?

Thank you for watching!
After watching Mike's video and applying his tips, I saw a noticeable improvement in my swing and overall performance on the course. It's rare to come across golf instruction that produces such rapid results, and I couldn't be more grateful for stumbling upon this video.
Thank you so much! This is exactly why I do what I do, to help as many golfers play better and enjoy this great game more than ever!
I'm watching this video again and with no doubt will watch it many more times!
This is priceless info: if I lived nearby to his facility my handicap would drop massively.
Thank you so much.
Grateful Aussie.
Haha thank you! We do have an incredible online lesson program that has proven to get great results! You can email us at info@porzakgolf.com for details!
Glad you have your own channel, Mike. Adam's stuff is great too, but I'm a huge fan of how you communicate things. Hoping to see your channel continue growing!
Thank you so so much! I am very grateful to have been mentored by such a wonderful instructor as Adam, I learned so much from him! I am equally grateful and super excited to get Golf Pitt going and give you guys even more great instruction!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You’re an incredible coach. So glad I found this channel.
These videos are the best I’ve seen on RUclips. Keep it up Pitt. We appreciate it.
Glad you like them! Please dont forget to share it with a buddy!
By far the BEST secrete in golf finally explained perfectly… you have another similar video with a student. That video alone has made me a low digit player in a few weeks. Not too mention one of the longest in my groups.
Thanks for solving the mystery for me.
Keep the great videos coming
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words! I am so happy this is help with your game! What are players learn very quickly is the same thing that makes you hit more consistent also makes you hit it further!
What a good vid. So many nuggets !
Thanks Mike for this video, it was really needed and so well presented. I’m subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos.
Thank you thank you thank you!
You are so amazing... Getting to the basics is so important.. Thank you 👍🏻
This is the video I’ve been looking for. Thank you!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for watching! Please let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see!
Mike you always have amazing content in your video. They are simple and to the point, you should have so so much more subscribers. They are missing out
Thank you so much! 1k->100k hopefully!!! Then we can look back on this comment and say you were one of the first 1K. Thank you for the support!
Love the simple yet efficient explanation you state with the golf swing....
Thank you so much! I learned from the best!
Wow, what a timely lesson. I came on to review a video that Adam Porzak did about getting the club down the line of the toes then turning to the top. This was way more detailed and informative for what I want to get better at, thanks! I’m drilling this for sure!
Haha aweosme! This will defitnely help you start to figure it out! The golf swing is like an onion 🧅 there are sooooo many layers. Just keep at it with consistency! Please let me know anything you need!
I feel the same !
Thanks Mike, so well presented and understandable. I’m subscribed and looking forward to more videos!
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing and also for the kind words! Please let me know if you have any special requests for upcoming videos!
Great tips and very helpful! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Wow, thanks! This helps so much!
So happy to hear that! I’m just trying to help as many golfers play better golf as possible!
Thank you for watching!
Great video Mike. Setup tips are awesome there
Thanks Dean! Glad you’re enjoying the videos
Looking forward to trying this out!
fantastic explanation ! Thank you.
You are welcome!
I really like how effortless it felt when doing the third tip. I haven't put much attention into my grip until lately and I now realize how much it can change your game. Thanx for this useful video.
Thank you for watching! The grip is so important as it is our only attachment to the club!
Excellent. Very clear and helpful.
So happy to hear that! Thank you for watching!
Great video, it helps answering some of my questions on my golf swing. Will test it up in my nest range visit.
Good luck! Let us know how that goes!
Excellently communicated Mike this is the best take away lesson I have seen from anyone “ I’m sure you did a similar lesson when you were with Porzak Golf” the camera work is very good and helps clarify any ambiguities, keep them coming Mike yours and Adams teachings are in a league of their own.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We will definitely keep them coming! Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thanks.
Thank you! Thank you so much for watching!
I think this is one of the most important feels to get really better! You taught me this 😀
No doubt Lars! And you also need to be sure the hands travel right down the line of your feet in the takeaway, it may feel like they are even going in for you because your hands tend to move out toward the golf ball in the takeaway!
Hope you are well friend! Happy holidays!!
GP...great example left hand heel pad left shoulder leveage implementation and passive right achieving the wrist angle...like the grip and finger demo pressure points you used to demonstrate...excellent a must know ...most appreciative thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words! Thank you so much for watching!
Another amazing lesson, thank you !
You’re welcome! Share it to anyone that needs help with their swing!
I will for sure !
Quick question, I have limited space to hit where I practice, I mostly use a wedge to practice, is that a bad or good thing ?@@GolfPitt
appreciate your lesson.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Great video, thanks for sharing…. And classic that Adam snuck in the background 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! haha we’re never that far apart lolol
Great lesson.
Thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
Wow you explain it so professionally, you dont see things that you show in other tutorials. Never knew to press down on the butt. Your the go to pro
I appreciate that tremendously Peter! We have a lot more wonderful little secrets that you won’t hear anywhere else! Stay tuned for more!
First class, thanks.
Thank you so much for watching!
Great stuff. First drill definitely helps with “fishing” for position in the backswing 👏
So happy it has helped!
Oh man. The hand technique. Pushing it down. That's the gem.
Effortless. Vs me " holding gripping lifting it. Thank you.😊
Effortless and connected!! Thank you for watching!
You're all over it my Man. I have only just discovered this.
This with a correct pivot ingrained will get me from a 20hcp to 9 within 12 months. I have even backed my self at my golf club.
Watch my progress!
BTW: Mr. Hogan was all over this.
You’ve got it! Good hinge with a good centered turn (pivot) and you 85% of the way there!! Thank you for watching!!
Solid explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best takeaway video ever!
Your support means a lot to me, thank you!
Great video with excellent explanations. Would love to see the differences between a driver and a short iron.
Thank you for the kind words! We will definitely talk about this in a future video! It’s the same with a Driver the hinge just happens slightly slower and softer because of your distance from the golf ball of low angle of the club and the loft on the club
Great advice
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great Tip ... ill try it
Thank you!
Thank You.
Thanks for watching !
Great Advice drill lesson tips
Glad it was helpful!
I spy AP giving a lesson in the background. lol. Great video MP. Sent this to a couple of buddies!
Awesome! Thank you so much for your support! Adam and I are so lucky because we absolutely love what we do and we are best friends and we get to do this side-by-side every day!! ❤️
12 years and counting!
Thanks Mike, love this content. Excellent explanation of the set up/takeaway checkpoints.
Are you able to demonstrate driver and iron takeaway?
Thank you for watching!!
Hopefully in the near future we can cover the difference between the two. But in all reality, it shouldn't be too different
Awesome
Great video Mike……….🏌🏻♂️
Thank you!!!
Can’t wait to try this out! Do these check points hold true for all the irons in the bag? Even with a 56 degree or more lofted wedges?
Thanks in advance!
Wow!!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@GolfPitt I was applying this lesson to my swing , and I had 4 short birdie putts attempts yesterday (3-4 ft putts ). Sadly I only made 1 😳
good lessons
Thank you!!
Excuse my language but holy sh*t!!! This was EXACTLY what I was getting wrong!! I’ve been able to zero in on basically everything else beautifully including my matchups with timing. But after doing exactly as instructed in this video and moving very slowly at first to really capture that leverage feel and that palm heel press, then slowly moving into progressively more complete swings guided by that feel, I have never executed more consistently pure strikes one after the other. HUGE THANKS!!!! I feel like I owe you money, LMAO!!! 🤑⛳️👍🏻😎👍🏻⛳️🤑
Hahaha! This is AWESOME! Thank you so much I’m so happy it helped! Loved how you mentioned slow because that is exactly how you have to train new patterns!! Thanks for watching!
I have to add something I feel is very important to the design and amazing results of this method of moving into the backswing. If the left arm is kept straight as you motion your rotation into the set position, the wrists set correctly almost automatically. It’s incredible how natural and effortless this feels. So instead of throwing the club up to set the wrists which can cause the player to chase the direction of the clubs weight while being forced, the club is guided by its natural orbit in the swing circle. If the timing is matched up with rotation correctly, it feels SO natural to let the arms drop through the inside slot and let the club release all on its own coming through the ball. The sensation of pressure into the ball is VERY different to anything one has felt before if they have never performed this exactly as you describe. It did take a good 20 swings to get used to how much closer to the ground I felt moving into the ball. But after feeling that much accelerated whip at the bottom, it all made total sense. For me it has been an absolutely profound change in a beautifully positive way. Thanks again my man!!
👍🏻😎👍🏻
Hi Mike I have an unrelated comment for you. Since taking up the Porzak swing I’ve been playing great. But it fell apart in my last 5-6 rounds. To many bad shots. I finally found the problem yesterday in the park. Ulnar deviation thru impact. My wrist weren’t truly releasing. They we’re staying a little cocked. We really need a short video on the hands (wrist) thru impact!
Thx PS: should be back in the 70’s tomorrow 😊
Thank you for the feedback! At some point in the golf swing, we have to let all of the energy transfer to the club ahead and release…. If there is any attempt to hold onto the golf ball or tighten up, we can inhibit the speed and the accuracy…. We will definitely get some content for you on this!!
In the meantime, you can try making some swings where you try to swing the club hard and hold the finish short with your arms out in front of you in the club head and shaft pointed towards your target almost like a half swing straight arm straight club finish this may help you in the meantime… ideally, we want to be able to release the club as hard as we won’t bother rotating and have a club face release Square to the plane.
Clear explanation..thanks..Stressdr
Thank you and thank you for watching!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Great video as always! Do we want to feel like we are actively pushing down on the grip with our left hand throughout the backswing and downswing until impact?
Depends where you’re coming from. If you’re someone who, in the past or currently lets the hands raise up in the backswing with creating any leverage or set, then it will definitely feel like you’re pushing foam and away in the take . If you’ve traditionally kept the hands fairly level, it will continue to feel like they are just staying level and the pressure builds in the left heel pad and grip to naturally set the club!
loving the tips Mike, question would you set the rest of the bag the same way, thinking woods and driver? tks
Awesome! At the end of the day a shorter club with more loft will set a little more,
quicker and faster than a longer club with less loft. You would still move your hands straight down the line of your feet and let the pressure build in the heel pad to set up the clubhead up in front your hands, but because there’s less preset leverage created between the shaft and the arms in the setup for a long club (because of length of club amount of loft and lie angle of the shaft). The longer clubs/woods would set a little “wider”, softer or slower vs an iron.
Thanks for watching!
Mike has a great way for the club take away. I have thought about pushing the club butt toward the ground w the left hand. But Mike's protocol is quite clear and easy to follow. My shots tend to go right to the 1 oclock, is that because i did not turn the body fast enough.?
Thank you for the kind words! The slight right push could be a number of things, is it a compressed 1 o’clock or is it kind of a wipey 1 o’clock? If it’s Wipey the clubface is arriving to the golf ball open. In the backswing you would feel the toe stay down a little, you would make sure that when you’re setting the club you would have a flat left wrist or even bowed depending on your grip and your right hand little more on top… on the downswing he would make sure you feel through the golf ball your right hand stay a little bit more on top and your left and knuckles get roled toward the ground.
If it is a compressed, 1 o’clock, yes, you can probably just rotate a little more around your left leg through the golf ball.
Thank you for watching!
This was a great comprehensive explanation. I tried it and shanked a lot, but when I made contact the results were great. I used to get hands out early and get laid off at the top, then tug the club into delivery. So when I get this correct it feels like the polar opposite. Any tips to avoid shanking whilst I get used to this movement based on my history?
OK so, first thing I would check and make sure when you’re setting the club your lead wrist is flat and not cupped… second thing I would check with make sure that there’s no runoff of your arms past your bodies turn off the top… the final thing I would check would be restructure in the downswing making sure your lead. Wrist is flat or even bowed coming down, you’re trail hand can feel like it faces the ground, and is more on top longer into the golf ball. At impact you can feel the back of your lead wrist facing the target or your lead knuckles facing the ground.
At the end of the day the feel is you need to retain the angle, attack the golf ball from the inside and hit it with what feels like the toe first.
@@GolfPitt thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I will give these thoughts/feels a shot with an open mind.
The best instruction I have seen for the takeaway, are your feet turned out or straight though? I struggle to turn 90 degrees.
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words! I like square feet unless needed! To help a bigger backsing you could drop the trail foot back slightly and you could also flare trail foot toes slightly. You should check out a recent video I did on this channel on how to make a bigger turn!! It covers all the ways to get a bigger turn!
👍👍
🙏🏼
Class, need this in my game. Takeaway kills me, especially playing having not hit a ball 💥🏌🏻
Haha! Thank you for watching!
Mike, love the video but need some clarification on when to start pressing down w/ my left palm. do you press down right from the start of the takeaway or when you want to take you club to the top of your backswing?
Always struggle with the club face getting too far outside my hands on the takeaway. Any tips would be great, thanks!
Absolutely, make sure your hands go straight down the line of your feet and make sure the club head goes straight down the line of the target…. The other thing you can do is put a golf ball behind your club and you can work on brushing that ball straight back or even slightly to the inside to correct your individual issue. This is one of my favorite shows for take away, and will be posting on the channel soon!
You can also put an alignment rod on the outside edge of your club, and visually make sure the deck club had stays inside the alignment rod for the duration of your take away
@@GolfPitt Awesome, thank you!
Nice video. What kind of irons are those?
Thank you!… These are the 2023 callaway apex irons in black which I love! lol
Do you do the pinky squeez with the driver?
Is this your new channel? Subbed by the way
Thank you for subscribing! Adam and I want to be sure to help as many people as we possibly can hence another channel!
Hi the best ball position for different clubs
Will do!
My irons are standard lofts and lies. When I try this set up it feels like the toe of the club rises up. Is that okay or is it something that I’m doing wrong with my set up? Thanks!
So are we talking about the shoulder blade complex moving when you say the shoulder ? Because my actual shoulder can only rotate. It’s the scapula that can help me push down. I just need clarification
But when you start pressing with your heelpad you also create a cup in your wrist. How loose players that cup at the top of the backswing?
So to get the leverage i wanna feel as my lead heeel pad is pushing down the grip?. Kinda lost there Visualizing this.
so the pushing down feel is more for people whose hands lift up during the take away, whatactually happens is the hands stay the same level for about 18inches - 2 feet and because the left heel pad is on top of the golf club, it will create a lever… pressure will build at the top of the grip and in your heel pad and pop the club up!
@@GolfPitt awesome thanks sir🙏👍
Hi Mike, when you grip the club on order to push down on the handle, it looks like you grip the club through your palm. I thought it was suppose to go through your fingers.
I grip the club in my fingers. Gripping in the fingers os what creates the leveraged positon at address and dramatically helps the club hinge easier! Thank you for watching!
Great Advice tips, isn't the guy behind is Porzak..
Yes it is!
3:18, what is flying😂😂
Nice video again,
I sent you an email asking for online lessons., did you receive it?
Tks
Martin
Yes I did! We will be in contact!
Mike Pitt, this shit is fucking beautiful man. Thank you for sharing and teaching the world proper technique. If ever i see you i'm looking to give you a big hug or a nice cold beer. whichever you prefer.
How about both?!
Thanks for your support!
so,you are no longer work with Porzak?
we are still together! porzak Golf is bigger and better than ever before! this is simply another outlet for us to help reach and help as many people with their games as possible! Normally looking to multiple youtube channels is a disaster but Porzak Golf and Golf Pitt run coherently so it is another way of hearing the same great info! Hope you enjoy!
Lol @ 3:20 with the tp
Hahaha they were using it as a smart ball 🤣🤣🤣🤣 🚽
Connection!!
At first I thought; oh, here’s someone teaching the same things I’m seeing from Porzak. And then I realized…
Hahaha! Our players know that if they ask the same question, or show the swing swing to Adam and I they are going to get the same answer, perhaps word slightly differently!
Thank you so much for watching! Please let us know if there’s anything we can do for you!
Bend from the hips sockets..not the waist!
Fair… I also to describe your belt buckle as a bucket full with water, and when you tilt you’re trying to pour some of the water out over your belt buckle…. This will help the hip hinge and pelvic tilt.… depending on the person in front of me, I will describe a different at the end of the day we want to create some angles from the hips, pelvis, waist area!
Thank you for watching !
Why do all these guys do a bounce with their legs when they are explaining something
It projects the voice better 🤣
Hi mate, are you an advocate for toe slightly up at address?
“Toe slightly up at address” can you please explain what you are referring to?
Thanks Mike for this video, it was really needed and so well presented. I’m subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos.
That’s awesome! The pump drill is something that everyone needs all the time, so make sure you keep that one in the rotation forever!
I also love the simplicity of the gate drill and it’s feedback for the habitual over the topper!
