I tried this tip yesterday for the first time on course with very little practice, I've never compressed the ball better, such a simple swing thought, thanks Giles.
Excellent "EUREKA" swing thought Giles! I started pushing the club down with my left heel pad when you first introduced it sometime ago. It does flatten the left wrist and bends back the right wrist as the arms get into a great position. I'll have to remember to do this with my short irons as well! Thanks for the Reminder Giles!
Agree as well, seen the tip on another channel as well, to me it feels like early wrist set. It helps me avoid a inside/shallow swing path with irons, but with driver I tend to get a little too steep, which was so unnatural to me that I had no idea anymore on how to properly shallow it 🙂and started going over the top and slicing it too much, so stopped applying it to driver.
Excellent! Thanks again. Love your content. Would like to see something on grip and keeping right hand connected.. I seem to lose the connection at the top of the swing?
Thanks Giles for a great instructional lesson. Great to see your technique implemented on a range of clubs rather than just a focus on say the iron or the driver. Do you have a lesson on the takeaway in terms of the arc that the club head follows?
This technique helped me a lot with irons, as I used to take it inside too much. One major warning: focus focus focus on that extended trail wrist, because it's sooo easy to cup the lead wrist when applying that initial heel pad push. And that's a real killer.
Hey gill I’ve tried this today on the course and it went great. Was wondering why so many people say to minimise the wrists in the takeaway? This seems to be promoting the opposite.
It’s a balancing act. Not a single good golfer on the planet has no wrist use in the takeaway. You need to use some wrists but it varies golfer to golfer
Looks like “pushing the heel of the left hand down” also makes it easy to keep the Left Arm Straight in the backswing 🤔 … true? I’m going to focus on this tomorrow ☝🏻
Great video. In the first part of the takeaway should the wrists be quite passive and let your shoulders and hips rotate to about just past the thigh and then push down on the club to set it? I find if I do it straight away I am putting the club in that position with just my hands and arms without the body rotation. I also feel quite tense when thinking about this move In the takeaway. Should you have a light grip when doing this move? Thanks
Grip pressure depends on grip strength. The stronger your grip strength the lighter you grip it. Do it too late and you can compromise your shoulder tilt

Amazing! Bet it felt incredible!
I just discovered Giles and have only watched 2 of his videos so far. He has great training tips and breaks things down so well.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for helping my game and making my coaches work easier. All we work on now is setup thus giving him more time for the new golfers.
Happy to help!
Great tip. Everything falls inline. Need to take it golf course to see. Thx for all your great tips.
No problem! Glad I could help
I want to try the online lessons but I’m recovering from back issues at present
@@HariPPattni hope the back heals up & don’t worry they’ll be there for a while to come so no rush
this tip is so good I have subscribed to your channel
amazing tip
Thanks for subbing! Hope you enjoy the other videos
This is gold dust and something I have never seen before. Brilliant as ever Giles.
Thank you so much! It’s great to hear such positive feedback

Exactly that! You can do that move with all clubs and you’ll learn the correct feeling to get the left wrist flat

Good one Giles , lots of us guilty of picking the club up
Moe Norman always said the right hand was a passenger
I like that thought!
@@Gilesgillgolf You're probably too young to know Moe , a legend of his lifetime , the epitome of consistency
@@howardkennerley4679 was before my time but very familiar with his swing
Tried this method , it defo works , striking phenomenal
Great to hear! Hope this is translating into some lower scores for you
Great tip. Thanks!
No problem!

Hi Evan, I got plenty of takeaway videos that talk about the key checkpoints of the takeaway including the arc
This technique helped me a lot with irons, as I used to take it inside too much. One major warning: focus focus focus on that extended trail wrist, because it's sooo easy to cup the lead wrist when applying that initial heel pad push. And that's a real killer.
Yes, I always say it takes 2 to tango and it’s just the same in this move
Great video I have just watched a video which shows Ernie Ells doing this move and it does work great tip
Got to listen when someone like Ernie Ells gives a tip! I’m glad this aligns with what he said

Wow! I'm gonna try this...I have all sorts of issues with my takeaway - P2 my clubface always leaks open...this should help, right?
Yes, it will definitely help

100% true!
