Single handedly my favorite training aid. I used to roll my forearms super quickly in the backswing, this helped me from the very first swing. Every range session or warm up before a round I use this on my pitching wedge to start, it’s just money.
Love it! I have found the same for me.....really awesome feedback and super easy to FEEL same things when you take it off!
I use it and it greatly improved my swing and strike.
Love it!
I'm a bit surprised at some of the hate in the comments for training aids. I volunteer for two professional events and I see more and more training aids used by the pros. Alignment sticks, forearm balls, various plane sticks (Fleetwood's is insane), putting mirrors, putting strings, putting gates, flight scopes, etc. I walked with Molinari during a pro-am round and he used his flight scope on every tee box. Everyone is using video.
I was particularly interested in this product because I struggle with getting the club inside early and compensating by pushing my hands outside. The thing I really like about this product is that it helped me create a "feel" for a good start to the swing. I still had to make some additional changes (eliminating compensations) to the rest of the backswing but I was able to achieve a good repeatable result. If someone stated the promotional content is heavy handed, I would agree but for a price that is less than a lesson I couldn't be happier. I like that I can always go back to this if I feel I'm drifting back to old habits.
Thanks Eric! Great content and I agree with your recommendation. It would be interesting if someone agreed to a taped lesson where you use this aid.
Thanks Jeff! Agreed....great idea on lesson with it!
I’m curious why all the hate on David Leadbetter. Some of y’all act like he stole a kid’s bike or something.
I got this last summer. Can’t say enough about the Straight Away. I have a tendency to pull it inside a bit to quick which produces a heavy draw. When I re-calibrate with this aid, my 7,8,9,W are money.
Think about it, the take away connects a perfect set up to a perfect position at the top. If this transition isn’t spot on, you will constantly be on the wrong side of the pin. It has transformed my ball striking and knowledge of the swing.
Love to hear that!!! I've been loving it as well!
Would you mind sharing the other training aids you liked so we do not have to search through all you videos. I think you have some of the best information on YT
Thank you
Thanks Patrick!

Let us know if any questions👊
Thank you for a helpful instructional video .I purchase my first Straight Away over a year ago .I believe the visual concept can be quite helpful for some golfers .With that said ,your video is the first that show an alignment rod at the front of your shoes .While all the other advertisements videos only show the alignment rod behind the ball .So which is correct ? Thank you .Next issue is the device absolutely adds weight to the club during the swing . I honestly do not consider this a problem ,since it’s a training aid .Now most importantly is the issue of attachment and safety .Attachment to any golf club is not a problem .Having it stay on securely is a very important safety issue . As a teaching professional,I was NOT comfortable enough allowing students to swing while using it as the directions indicate .After hitting ONE ball the Red screws loosened up.A constant adjustment,which interfered in the lesson .More importantly the thought of the aid itself coming off the shaft during the back swing or downswing……I sent E mails to the company and commented in other videos .To learn how golfers or the company addressed this issue . Disappointing there was NO response . I decided that drilling two small holes through the aid and shaft then inserting two small bolts will secure it to my shaft .Please with both my success along with safety concerns .I have purchased an additional aid and attached it to a left handed club .These have become two valuable teaching aids . The investment in using two old 7 irons ,and the hard ware has been worth the effort. My last point was pricing,as I searched for my second aid the prices varied from $49 to $149 dollars See Amazon .I will consider the placement of the alignment stick during practice. Yes,you are correct ,there are a lot of training videos for this product .Respectfully submitted
Thank you for your honest review! Just a question: at 4:21, is that clubface not wide open? Or is that considered square to the path? I struggle mightily with hooks and at that particular point in the swing my clubface is way more shut than that. Maybe my understanding of square to the path needs a serious adjustment.
That would still be pretty fair.....the POV view can make it tricky!
The general goal is when you get the club parallel to the ground to have the leading edge of the club face roughly parallel to your back line
I'm interested. But one reservation I have is that when you swing at full speed it seems your shaft goes below your right forearm. Is it not supposed to go up the forearm for an ideal on-plane swing, with below the forearm being too inside, under the plane, and indicative of a slight wrist roll?
For sure something I need to keep an eye on....thats a fault of mine!
I like to picture a line down the target behind the ball and try to keep the club head riding that line on the way back
I like that (with hands arcing in)
Is it supposed to line up right over the alignment Rod or I think I saw him giving a lesson and it seems from one’s eye that it looked parallel but not on top of the rod?
From the PLAYERS point of view when looking down it will be right over it
From the camera angle (us watching) it may appear parallel
How does it compare to something like the laser one? It has two lasers, one pointing down and one up, you follow the line on the ground, first with the one pointing down, then the one pointing up.
I don't want to link it here, but it's the Check Point Swing Laser.
Both cool tools! Very similar goals....whichever can work!
should i buy it from performance golf website or amazon. Because I'm skeptical about the website is overall.
Hey! Where ever you want! All good either way---just want you to improve :)
Hey Guys! I really like this one! I hope you'll find you like it as much as I do!

Having a good takeaway can definitely make the overall swing more efficient... However, you don't need a training aid to make that happen. I think there's WAY to many gimmicks available. The promotion for this includes the words "secret" which I hate. "No choice but to finish your swing on track". "Consistently flush contact". Oh...ok! So this will cure everyone's bad sequnce and early extension... which is 95% of golfers biggest issue? Not going to happen. But.... I really think you do a good job overall on your channel.
Haha I hear ya---appreciate the feedback!
69 dollars? Someone’s walkin around with 68 dollars of profit per unit.
Haha all good---I think the $69 for the product and the training videos is a great deal!
David trying to stack a little more retirement funds with this gadget huh?🤔
@@keepingitreal8245 One of the worst training aides invented...and that's saying a lot. He should focus on teaching students how to just hit the ball with a smooth swing and stop getting them to overthink.
@@rjpimprov I agree!
一号木可以使用吗？
$69 …what a steal for a 45 degree piece of plastic
IMO at half the price still to expensive....
All good! You could def do a DIY for cheaper....but to me I like it for $69!! All the best!
@@CogornoGolf there are copies of it on ebay for under £20....
@@CogornoGolf there are copies about cheap..
I picked up at a Chinese copy from Ali for $11, seems a more reasonable price.
@@golf-ai I appreciate the tip. Got one on the way!
Probably the most over engineered training aid in golf.
Ahh I hear ya and respect your point of view! Personally I dont think so...I think the design is great and an awesome visual!
But all good---not all aids will be for everyone!
Have an awesome day!
Leadbetter is so overrated.
Is that opinion based from your experience of having a lesson with him? No, I thought not.
@@TimSuttonGolfshut up unc

Hey! Why do you think so?
I've been using it since February and I think it's been great!! Have you tried one yet?
Nope! It’s the real deal!
I have one and it does work. ⛳🏌️
There is a drill David had in Faults and Fixes that replicates this very move.
Him and Nick Price placed a second ball along ( and just inside)the target line about a foot behind the object ball. At that point you brush the second ball away on your move away and hit away.
It really seems to work.
Love it! I've found it to be really effective!! Love the feels and the feedback!!
@@CogornoGolf it works with all clubs including driver. That's why I got it! 🏌️⛳
I’m sorry but I’m really struggling with this. It’s super easy to get the takeaway right when just moving the club from an address position to the takeaway position. It’s a totally different proposition doing this at full speed and how would this help during a normal swing? Plus, you can just use a mirror? Even easier, just pull your right shoulder back and the club goes back on-plane? Personally, I think this is a waste of money. No disrespect.
If I may, there is no way to know if your take away is straight, a bit outside, or a bit inside till you either have a teaching pro standing over you, or this aid. It will teach you what you may be doing wrong (or right). You cannot have a good swing that repeats without visceral knowledge of the a good take away.
All good....you're entitled to your opinion of course :)
1. For ANY swing piece.....any piece....doing it in practice swing vs real is a process. Takeaway, backswing, downswing, etc we could say that for all things.
To solve that to go from rehearsal practice swing to real we start SLOW.
Can we do it at 10% speed full swing? then 20%, 50%, 70%, etc.
Just like adding weight to a bar in the gym as you get stronger you add speed to your swing as you get better.
2. You could definitely use a mirror! I just dont like that as much :)
all the best!
