This rolling of the hands is i think what has been causing my left field long irons , i start to notice a left bounce on my eight iron after a nice baby draw and it starts to get hookey and left kick with a seven , I think ive gotten on top of it by taking away much more down the line , i tend not to hinge the wrists until im past horizontal . I have been and still am awaiting this turning into a cut . On the plus side taking away like this seems to give me more time somehow in the downswing . Great video giles and perfectly timed for me once again 👍
5.20 this is pure GOLD !!! What gold, this is diamond !!! wow. Of the hundreds and hundreds of golf videos, this is a MUST definetly top 5. Thanks for the help.
I second this, top notch! First time I’ve seen an instructor not only give multiple ways to perform the takeaway, but multiple drills to work on as well. Great content, I will be sharing!
The frisbee/steering wheel drill is incredible! First time I have ever seen it and I was able to instantly observe that I was steering in the wrong direction in my natural backswing. I cannot wait to put this into practice at the range
If you don’t get the takeaway correct the rest of the swing is compensations. Dude is 1000% correct. If you take the club to the inside, you have to feel the opposite going back. Club outside the hands. I’ve been using the steering wheel analogy which felt completely bizarre for weeks, but I stuck with it and my game has dramatically changed. Don’t be afraid to hit some bad shots until it feels more natural. I’m telling you, It’s worth it.
Giles your videos are seriously different, the analogies and ways you make these techniques seem so relatable with so much detail. Whenever I have a swing issue, you're the first port of call. Keep it up!
Hi. I recently tried golf again after 25 years. In addition to a few clinics I watched this video and the iron set up video. I cannot believe the difference Giles instructions made to my swing. Taking the practice slowly, focusing on each fundamental has helped me tremendously. I will move onto the next videos over time. Thank you so much for posting such user friendly videos.
This is by far the best training video explaining the proper takeaway. Thank you for taking the time to teach us all. The turning of the wheel to the left and keeping the trail arm higher than the lead arm resonated most with me.
This is the absolute best instructional video I’ve seen! I’ve turning the steering wheel to the right my whole life (which I didn’t know was the wrong way). I’m excited to start turning to the left! Thank you!!!
This was exactly what I focused on today at the range and it works! I use both feels: pushing down with the left hand and turning the wheel slightly left. It fixed my chipping/pitching yips as well.
Steering wheel and Stick drill...money. Showed these to my wife who is learning, and I could see the instant understanding of keeping the club out in front of her. Well done..
I’ve been trying for three years to fix my take away. These two drills are the best. It’s exactly what I’ve been struggling with although I’ve managed to get the club on plane on the way down I’m losing power and don’t have consistency that I need to score. Thanks so much for these wonderful drills. Keep up the good work I’ll be watching. Thanks.
What a fantastic video - it has what many other takeaway videos don't, which is common sense FEELS, things that don't require a lot of thoughts to accomplish while swinging. The "push the lead hand toward the right foot/water line" feel is the best and easiest to get going in a live swing.
I’ve been struggling for so long with a big inside takeaway. Lessons and hours at the range haven’t fixed it. But.. ‘getting the club head out of the water first’ has been a game changer! Just had my best round for yonks using it as my only swing thought. Cheers Giles!
You don't know how many take away videos I've watched! You explanation and drills are by far the best! I can't wait to put them into practice. Thanks so much! These instructions will be the foundation I use to go from a 6 HC to hopefully scratch.... and I am totally serious.
As always, enjoyable and informative video. The inside takeaway (rolling the forearms/fanning the club open) has been my problem for a long time. Will continue to work on the drills you mention. Keep up the great work!
Awesome video. I've always felt uncomfortable on the take away. Had no clue exactly what a good take away was supposed to feel like. I know all the swing thoughts like one piece takeaway but still felt clueless. This really helped instantly!
Sorted my takeaway in one drill the left hand pushed to right foot set the club along with the right hand pulling the grip up towards the sky great coaching
For 50+ years I have had a flat backswing wherein I had to throw my hands at the ball at impact in order to "save it" from a nasty slice or worse! Your comment about keeping the right arm(trailing arm) above the lead arm on the backswing it perfect. Super simple swing cue that I can check each time I practice in front of the mirror. It works.
Thanks for the "Feel" thought of the forearm above the other on takeaway. Had a case of the shanks and I think it was related to my takeaway. Will see at the range soon.
Thanks, Giles , you have quality video lesson. Like it a lot. I am in Canada, Gallaghers Canyon golf course. Kelowna. I will recommend to friends your golf channel. Thanks again.
This is the best primer I’ve seen on analyzing or fixing a poor takeaway. Great tips which I’m going to incorporate. I’m currently struggling with consistently striking the low point with my irons. Do you have a video on this? Thanks.
Keeping my right forearm above my left through P2. Thinking about the RT forearm was the key for me. I had instructors that thought me to keep my right slightly bent and below the left at the address(I overdid it). I didn't release that it was also causing me to immediately bring the club inside too early.
Excellent tips Giles on how to fix the takeaway! One thing I try not to do is roll the forearms on the takeaway. I have been using the left hand pushing down on the butt end of the club for a while now and I really like this move. I will now implement your suggestion of extending the right hand which definitely puts one into a straight left wrist and bent back right hand position which I have been attaining with my movement. Your "stop, check, and go" drill is great! Also, I will be definitely using your "extended" alignment stick drill to verify club position. The index finger on the side of the shaft is very unique and one I will be trying, especially with driver, since I sometime am too shallow with my backswing! I'm sorry for this very lengthy text Giles, but I just wanted you to know how valuable your tips are. Good Job!!
One further comment, I'm trolling back to this video once more. That alignment stick drill probably has the greatest feedback of any takeaway drill. NO GUESSWORK!! IF THE STICK STAYS CONNECTED DURING THE TAKEAWAY YOURE IN THE RIGHT SPOT. Infallible!! Great drills. Great content.
What definitely works for me is the first one......keeping the trail arm above the lead arm. Once I get this correct, everything falls into place for me. No more uncertainty about the endless permutations of the angle to take the club away. It's got to be more consistent. Awesome video, once more. I can see your subscribers increasing rapidly. Well done.
That works for me as well some good ball striking/compression(as I'm guilty of rolling hands in the takeaway) sometimes though it feels a little chicken wingy though, I guess I'm getting separation on the right elbow from the body with this drill ? Very good content though.
Excuse me, while I gush about the quality of your instruction for the umpteenth time!! Based on other comments , it is proven in their own performance as well. The pressure of the lead hand towards the right toe in a downward push is an incredible thought!! In a Newtonian twist, it is an equal and opposite reaction. But then golf is a game of opposites isn't it? Again you're explaining precisely why one single move creates another with no conscious thought of the latter at all. UNBELIEVABLE. One step at a time the Dominoes all fall in line. Number one instructor I've ever seen.
This was so good! I’m an early inside roller and the push down with left hand on the handle helped me get some better feels of the early part of my swing⛳️🏌️♂️😃
@@Gilesgillgolf I have a question about setup . Is it true that the weight more in front foot for irons and even weight balance even when using wedges ?
Excellent stuff. I've had a period of trying too hard to keep my trail elbow tucked in and it killed me. Your tip about keeping trail arm above lead arm + keeping club head out in front helps me into a far better swing plane... 👍
@@Gilesgillgolf Can i just ask another point this... I tend to be armsy and too quick in the downswing. Is it possible that I'm not getting my trail shoulder down enough in the downswing. I try to get lead shoulder down in backswing but my feel is that I'm pulling both arms through and losing shape on trail elbow. I also don't turn that we'll so I just wonder if "lead shoulder down to trailshoulder down might be a good feel...?
Thanks. This works for me: Pushing down and feeling like the back of the left hand rotates toward the ground. This video has helped me hit my short irons longer and with more accuracy; what could I be doing differently with my driver? It feels as if my arms are too upright with the driver.
Would you say it's still bad to have an inside takeaway if you are not rolling the forearms/opening the club? I tend to like coming a little more in whilst keeping the club square vs. coming straight back. This helps me to swing in to out and better hit a draw. Also, is it a good idea/feeling to have the arm pits connected to the body to promote shoulder turn/connection instead of the arms doing the turning? Really loving the channel man, and you do a great job of simplifying the swing. Keeping the clubhead square throughout the swing has easily made the most improvement to my swing.
My coach did a similar thing right arm on top but imagine a wall just out side the ball running towards the target. Keep the club edge running up the wall in back swing. Shot 1 over last outing. Great feeling for me
Thank you Mr.Giles. Love your analogies. It’s trying them out and finding yours. Took 5 lessons then the coach gave me the wall feeling for back swing. Only taken 40years for some one to get me to understand. Keep up the good work great content.
Just reviewed your takeaway/ backswing video. Good stuff! I find that focusing on my left ( leading) arm / elbow allows me to turn the wheel to the left. Am I on the correct path or do you use more of your hands to turn the wheel? Thx Michael Gabel MD
Hi Giles, exactly what I was looking for. What I am missing though is the transition into the downswing. This new take away (lifetime roller of the arms) makes me feel really rigid with tension. I feel like I am losing a lot of mph swing speed, which for me is around 111mph. Any tips? Thanks!🙏
Hello @Gilesgillgolf, Can you show me how to do the rest of the backswing? I have the "turn the wheel left" thing down, but I don't know what to do next. Cheers from Washington DC in the USA.
Q: you seem to do two takeaways with different wrist set. On one the club is parallel to the ground, the other the club is more up to the sky. When is appropriate to set the wrists in the backswing? I've read that it's down to preference, do you agree?
@@Gilesgillgolf Thank for such quick replies. That and the excellent video: subscribed. Do you have any videos on curing over the top? I'm struggling with an out to in downswing, right shoulder comes out in front of me to start.
Does that work for the driver seems steep.. every one does the take away could you give details from half way to top is it just a turn or a folding of rt elbow to top of swing. Thx great video..
I think I do an inside takeaway, but it's not because that I roll my forearm, I get the lead arm too much across the chest. Is that also a cause for taking it inside too much?
Simply quite outstanding. Giles, Is it possible to conclude iron swing moves by just looking at driver swing? In one case if student have his best driver swing and now have iron swings can't have driver swings hypothetically? Can't we conclude here?
@@Gilesgillgolf like as we all see flaws on the basis of comparison with good model. So if student has iron swing currently but in his best, he has driver swing so if we compare iron less side bend with driver more r side bend then can't conclude right or wrong so we need to compare with good iron swing. So what if have only best driver swing can't we conclude r side bend move for iron in mind? Then compare with current iron swing.
@@nomancricket why would it be your best driver swing vs your poor iron swing? Wouldn’t it just be your standard swings for both looking at your tendencies?
@@Gilesgillgolf In case currently don't have standard swing for one? Actually, in other sport like cricket batting if I have lower pitch footage vs best higher pitch footage? Coz not every ball pitched at exact same location.
The best feel for this take away drill for me is keeping your wrists beneath the water level - break /stop/ continue to a full backswing. Serve as useful checkpoints as well!
Like this, slightly different but I'm especially keen to try the alignment stick routine. I have tried similar to make sure the stick stays on the front side, but not where you keep it in contact like you suggest, so I'm keen to try it.
i think i am breaking my wrist way too late ... going to test it out at the range next time .... i really hope that is the issue, my golf shots are about as consistent as a woman's mood
I think if you use a "saucer" instead of a plate....the forearms would look more like a golf swing because... what throws people off is the width of the plate doesn't match up to how the arms should look "symmetrically" in a normal takeaway
@@Gilesgillgolf no worries i k like your vid’s I forgot that the adds would likely change the Hank Haney anti slice method is a long one I was trying to let people know up front 😀😀
Hi Everyone, Which one of these fixes works best for you?
The finger pointer drill is one that has worked for me really well!

Yes exactly. A lot more neutral
I think I do an inside takeaway, but it's not because that I roll my forearm, I get the lead arm too much across the chest.
Is that also a cause for taking it inside too much?
I’d say 95% of the time it’s due to the forearms and get the lead arm across the chest is classed as armsy and the fix is the same
Simply quite outstanding.
Giles, Is it possible to conclude iron swing moves by just looking at driver swing?
In one case if student have his best driver swing and now have iron swings can't have driver swings hypothetically?
Can't we conclude here?
Thank you! I’m a little confused what you mean
@@Gilesgillgolf like as we all see flaws on the basis of comparison with good model. So if student has iron swing currently but in his best, he has driver swing so if we compare iron less side bend with driver more r side bend then can't conclude right or wrong so we need to compare with good iron swing.
So what if have only best driver swing can't we conclude r side bend move for iron in mind?
Then compare with current iron swing.
In other words, Can't we conclude what need to work on by comparing best driver swing vs poor iron swing?
@@nomancricket why would it be your best driver swing vs your poor iron swing? Wouldn’t it just be your standard swings for both looking at your tendencies?
@@Gilesgillgolf In case currently don't have standard swing for one? Actually, in other sport like cricket batting if I have lower pitch footage vs best higher pitch footage? Coz not every ball pitched at exact same location.
When I push down on butt of club with lead hand it puts my lead wrist into extension and opens the face…..what am I doing wrong
You’re not using your trail wrist correctly
Awesome!
Thank you!
Push down pull up , also like turning frisbee..thanks
Hope it helps
Pushing the butt of the club down with the left hand is golden.
It really is!
Thank you
You're welcome
The best feel for this take away drill for me is keeping your wrists beneath the water level - break /stop/ continue to a full backswing. Serve as useful checkpoints as well!
Yes I love that feel
I always thought that when the shaft is parallel to the ground , you also want the shaft parallel to the invisible target line.
No not necessarily. Actually better to have it slightly above the hands
Like this, slightly different but I'm especially keen to try the alignment stick routine. I have tried similar to make sure the stick stays on the front side, but not where you keep it in contact like you suggest, so I'm keen to try it.
No golf tips help - I can put the club in all these places and I can’t bro the ball
I use a magnetic stick on the club face to keep the stick pointing to the ground and not up in the sky.
Great way of using visual feedback to help
i think i am breaking my wrist way too late ... going to test it out at the range next time .... i really hope that is the issue, my golf shots are about as consistent as a woman's mood
Hope this helps! Let me know what happens!
OMG..😮.. 🏆
Hope this helps
I think if you use a "saucer" instead of a plate....the forearms would look more like a golf swing because... what throws people off is the width of the plate doesn't match up to how the arms should look "symmetrically" in a normal takeaway
It’s just an analogy
This add takes more than 40 minutes the cost $49 American
I have no control over the adds
@@Gilesgillgolf no worries i k like your vid’s I forgot that the adds would likely change the Hank Haney anti slice method is a long one I was trying to let people know up front 😀😀
Yeah I get lost in turning my body and club to the inside from the get go and I am rewarded with a beautiful duck hook into the woods.
