    This is a very unique and COMMON SENSE approach to the golf swing. The Biline to this video is "Simply Genius," and it is all that and more!! True genius, by definition, is simplicity of thought. Simply conceived and carried out. Rather than focusing on the left arm as most instructors do, this video emphasizes focusing on the right arm in the takeaway. This creates a double whammy of the chest following, the back turning, with the right hand down. From there, simply rotate the right hand toward the sky. I can't find a thing wrong with this approach. Because there isnt!! GREAT 👍 VIDEO.

He showed me Lydia Ko’s takeaway as a reference point and we all know how well she’s done recently. It’s been about two weeks since I made this change. It’s going to take some work because I can feel the old swing trying to sneak its way back in lol. What I love is that it keeps my club path on plane on the backswing. My other change my coach was to get me to pivot more at my hips at setup because I told him my balance was off and I was falling back after impact. I will definitely let you know about my progress. Love the videos.

      @rdoan76 using Lydia Ko as a checkpoint for the takeaway or any pro in fact is a great way to compare where you need to be. The old swing will always want to creep in from you subconsciously doing it, so you have to consciously think about the changes/ new feels until it becomes more natural, that takes time, practice and perseverance.

      Higher up would be ideal but its tough to hang a camera in a indoor bay. AMG uses a 3D animated golfer to show what the body does from "up above". Its just another viewpoint that can help ppl to better understand "feels" and concepts.

Just getting back to golf after a 15 year layoff, I played in high school and college back in the 80's with all feel and zero swing thoughts, and like all of us in 2024 there's a dozen swing thoughts in my head at address now, I topped two 3 woods from the deck last round , ggrr.

It's like you made this video especially for me (excuse me for gloating fellow subscribers) since I have been working on this takeaway for over a year now! Your chip and pitch shot recommendation will be put into my memory bank because on occasion I do get a chunk and mostly I come up short of the green! I like the idea of the left arm parallel on the backswing and the right arm parallel on the way through! This video was so verifiable for me that I am going to archive it for future analysis!

      This makes perfect sense because now that you are squaring the club properly your over the top outside in swing is now causing a pull hook. The good news is now that you are properly squaring the club your swing path will naturally start to move to neutral or even in to out. Trust the process it will take a little time.

    You confused me so I had to watch the video twice before I understood what you were saying about a bad take away. You spent the first three minutes having me thing one need to point the logo on the left hand glove to point away from you. This is exactly the opposite of what you were saying. I widsh from the outset you had repeated that doing so was bad. I think you only said that once and had me wondering what you were talking about Of course you are spot on and this is a great lesson but very hard to follow. I wish it were said more simply and succinctly right off the start Too much toe wasted and was a distraction from the very valid point you were making. Do not engage wrists so logo faces away from you to start the takeaway is the point. Do not know why three minutes was spent on that point alone. It got to the point I had no idea what you were going on about. Just trying to be helpful by way of feed back because this otherwise was a very helpful video.
