Summary

TLDRThe video provides insights into perfecting the takeaway in golf swings through specific drills. It highlights the variety of takeaways golfers often display and how many fall into common pitfalls due to misunderstanding or misapplication of movement concepts. The instructors focus on the importance of starting motion correctly, as incorrect takeaways can lead to difficult swings and faulty follow-throughs. Two main drills are suggested: the Nick Price drill, aimed at curbing early overturning of the body, and the athletic motion drill, which encourages proper initial movement and uses natural club momentum. The video emphasizes the benefit of using minimal equipment and basic movements to achieve better results across all levels of golfers.

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    The video focuses on teaching effective golf takeaways through observing varied swing techniques. The instructors utilize their extensive experience with various golfers to identify common flaws in takeaways. They discuss the persistence of outdated golf instruction ideologies, such as the 'one-piece takeaway', which can result in poor body positioning and movement inefficiencies, ultimately leading to complex swing problems.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The instructors highlight the importance of correcting takeaway techniques to simplify the entire swing process. They propose focusing on aligning the club with the hands when it's level to the ground at the initial swing phase to prevent excessive body rotation and imbalance. The video emphasizes improving takeaway by understanding the proper sequence of arm and wrist motion, utilizing tools and drills to inculcate these skills.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    The video presents two primary drills to refine the golf takeaway. The "Nick Price Drill" helps prevent early over-rotation by ensuring the shoulders turn correctly relative to the arms, teaching golfers to maintain balance and alignment. This drill helps golfers place less focus on the intricacy of muscle movement during the swing, promoting instinctive and natural arm motion instead.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:21:45

    The second drill, "Athletic Motion Drill", incorporates dynamic body movements to ensure a fluid and responsive swing. By advancing the club initially and coordinating foot pressure shifts, golfers can achieve a more natural swing rhythm. The instructors suggest that integrating these drills leads to improved dynamic balance and more natural movements in the golf swing, benefiting both amateurs and professionals.

Video Q&A

  • What is a common misconception about takeaways in golf?

    The idea that the takeaway should be a one-piece movement, where everything moves at the same rate, is a common misconception.

  • What issues can a poor takeaway create in a golf swing?

    A poor takeaway can make the golf swing very difficult, as it may lead to improper club positioning, requiring corrections during the swing.

  • How can golfers practice a better takeaway according to the video?

    Golfers can use specific drills, such as the Nick Price drill and the athletic motion drill, to practice a more effective takeaway.

  • What is the purpose of the Nick Price drill in improving takeaways?

    The Nick Price drill helps prevent early body turn which can lead to the club going too far inside, causing lifts in the swing.

  • Why is motion important in starting a golf swing?

    Motion helps create a fluid transition into the swing, preventing static initiation which can cause issues.

  • How does lifting the right heel before taking away help a golfer?

    Lifting the right heel initiates motion and helps the golfer get into a dynamic position, promoting better swing rhythm.

  • What equipment is necessary for the drills demonstrated in the video?

    No special equipment is needed, making these drills accessible with just a golf club.

  • How is body rotation involved in a perfect takeaway?

    Proper body rotation includes some torso and hip movement, coupled with the correct arm and wrist positioning.

    in this video we're gonna talk about to
  • 00:00:02
    tour drills for the perfect takeaway all
  • 00:00:10
    right so you seen maybe more than
  • 00:00:12
    anybody in the world a variety of
  • 00:00:15
    takeaways on a daily basis yeah
  • 00:00:17
    thousands thousands this is a lesson
  • 00:00:21
    factory a lot of golfers coming here to
  • 00:00:23
    take lessons yeah
  • 00:00:24
    facilities awesome but you get the
  • 00:00:28
    benefit of seeing a lot of varieties of
  • 00:00:31
    takeaways yeah and seeing you know what
  • 00:00:33
    works what doesn't and how to and how to
  • 00:00:34
    fix them quickly because they they come
  • 00:00:36
    in for an hour they need a result that's
  • 00:00:39
    right that's what they're paying us for
  • 00:00:40
    it subpoenas for results so you know you
  • 00:00:43
    gotta go and figure out how can I get
  • 00:00:46
    this person hit might not fix everything
  • 00:00:47
    but how can I get them hitting it better
  • 00:00:48
    in this hour that's right so let's take
  • 00:00:51
    let's let me ask you this may be an
  • 00:00:53
    unfair question can you take that
  • 00:00:55
    massive database of takeaways and kind
  • 00:00:59
    of distill them down into a couple of
  • 00:01:01
    buckets of what you kind of see golfers
  • 00:01:03
    fall into generally as far as a variety
  • 00:01:05
    of takeaways absolutely so let's start
  • 00:01:08
    with you know the dogma of golf
  • 00:01:11
    instruction over the years some good
  • 00:01:12
    some bad right one of the one of the
  • 00:01:14
    ones I think that hurts players is the
  • 00:01:16
    idea that there's this kind of one piece
  • 00:01:18
    everything moves at the same rate
  • 00:01:20
    because one of the most misunderstood or
  • 00:01:22
    misapplied phrases or concepts out there
  • 00:01:25
    once we take away what listen if you
  • 00:01:29
    have five golfers what that means you're
  • 00:01:30
    gonna get five different answers but but
  • 00:01:32
    a little most of them will take it as
  • 00:01:35
    this yes they will turn everything and
  • 00:01:38
    leave their arms very passive right so
  • 00:01:40
    basically by the time that the club gets
  • 00:01:43
    in what you would say a takeaway level
  • 00:01:46
    which would be level to the ground
  • 00:01:47
    they've overturned their body which gets
  • 00:01:49
    the hands too far in the club too far in
  • 00:01:51
    and they've used up all the turn now
  • 00:01:53
    you've got this up and overemotional but
  • 00:01:55
    shoes are sweeping as what a reference
  • 00:01:58
    and we'll set you up at the front of the
  • 00:02:00
    swing playing so we can see how like
  • 00:02:02
    this that way yeah see how that would
  • 00:02:04
    represent itself in a one-piece kind of
  • 00:02:06
    the often yeah comes off that plane yeah
  • 00:02:10
    really the it starts bidding the plane
  • 00:02:12
    right in through
  • 00:02:13
    yeah it would probably be more like that
  • 00:02:15
    which this is No yeah no way so that
  • 00:02:20
    creates we will go into all the issues a
  • 00:02:23
    poor take away creates but it makes the
  • 00:02:24
    Gosling's brutally difficult goodness
  • 00:02:26
    you've got one second now you're
  • 00:02:28
    spending half of that one second to undo
  • 00:02:31
    something mm-hmm and try to do something
  • 00:02:34
    there's just not enough time so that
  • 00:02:36
    would be poor takeaway motion number one
  • 00:02:39
    I probably see that one more than that's
  • 00:02:41
    super common I would say number two the
  • 00:02:46
    really popped out hands like actually I
  • 00:02:48
    might see them that's that's the ugly
  • 00:02:51
    sister yes I guess the clubhead way too
  • 00:02:53
    far inside yeah and not to be outdone by
  • 00:02:56
    the extra special hand pop out roll open
  • 00:03:00
    clubface now you've got a real dilemma
  • 00:03:03
    so we've got essentially a one piece of
  • 00:03:05
    turning like a block of wood yes right
  • 00:03:07
    taking it to the literal one-piece
  • 00:03:09
    takeaway and then the multi piece hand
  • 00:03:12
    pop out hand out club head and take away
  • 00:03:15
    this one is death most golfers will fall
  • 00:03:18
    somewhere into one of those if they have
  • 00:03:20
    a takeaway and there's one more
  • 00:03:21
    iteration I see that's better better
  • 00:03:24
    they've they've taken or they've studied
  • 00:03:26
    golf swings and they've been told to
  • 00:03:27
    keep the hands in and the club out they
  • 00:03:30
    may have done this move so now they're
  • 00:03:34
    working with a solution for that
  • 00:03:36
    now they drag the hands in the club it
  • 00:03:39
    stays outside too long super sure this
  • 00:03:42
    thing you're a you're a slave to this
  • 00:03:46
    it's got a really start sword fighting
  • 00:03:47
    at the top well it's gone in somewhere
  • 00:03:49
    and it's gonna flop it off and open and
  • 00:03:52
    so in the we try to beat in to the
  • 00:03:56
    equation you how important this first
  • 00:03:58
    part of the backswing is absolutely
  • 00:04:00
    absolutely an it's it's one of those
  • 00:04:02
    deals where it goes back to your
  • 00:04:03
    original point is you gotta fix it you
  • 00:04:05
    gotta fix them so you really make your
  • 00:04:07
    job any easier to have a thousand
  • 00:04:11
    different takeaway fixes for a thousand
  • 00:04:13
    different takeaways like they all kind
  • 00:04:15
    of have similar issues and it's about
  • 00:04:16
    getting them on one truck saying very
  • 00:04:20
    children if you want a consistent result
  • 00:04:23
    as a teacher
  • 00:04:25
    you have to have some kind of parameters
  • 00:04:27
    to what you're doing because I know if I
  • 00:04:29
    can get the player inside those
  • 00:04:30
    parameters I get a consistent result
  • 00:04:32
    from the player yes I'm not just
  • 00:04:34
    throwing stuff at the wall I think I
  • 00:04:38
    know this person no matter what they're
  • 00:04:40
    doing right now if I can get them a
  • 00:04:42
    little more square a little better spot
  • 00:04:44
    with the body a little bit of spot with
  • 00:04:46
    the hands I know what that produces
  • 00:04:48
    exactly if I let them keep doing this
  • 00:04:50
    and I'm trying to work on transition
  • 00:04:53
    twisting it's a lot easier for me it
  • 00:04:56
    makes my job easier and helps them
  • 00:04:57
    faster just fix the root cause of the
  • 00:05:00
    issues so much easier to get rid of them
  • 00:05:02
    get rid of the weeds at the root than it
  • 00:05:05
    is to try to just trim them all the time
  • 00:05:06
    absolutely correct all right so with
  • 00:05:09
    that in mind so let's see what before we
  • 00:05:11
    go and dive into the drills the two
  • 00:05:14
    drills for the tour drills that we use
  • 00:05:15
    huh let's talk about the goals that we
  • 00:05:18
    want to have for a takeaway okay what
  • 00:05:20
    does that look okay so let's just stay
  • 00:05:21
    on our plane board we've got a million
  • 00:05:24
    questions about this thing by the way
  • 00:05:25
    I'll just address that now one of my
  • 00:05:27
    students built this for me it's a you
  • 00:05:30
    can't buy one of these maybe we should
  • 00:05:32
    start selling them they actually I found
  • 00:05:33
    a link and I've been sending it to guys
  • 00:05:35
    of email me this will put it in the
  • 00:05:36
    description Amazon sells something very
  • 00:05:40
    similar really its child's equipment now
  • 00:05:43
    for play rooms okay very similar and
  • 00:05:46
    we'll put a link into that so yeah they
  • 00:05:47
    can pick up something almost identical
  • 00:05:49
    very helpful to have in the house okay I
  • 00:05:51
    use it in a lot of lessons so the
  • 00:05:54
    takeaway is going to be put in a spot or
  • 00:05:58
    when the club is level to the ground
  • 00:06:00
    from this view level to the ground okay
  • 00:06:02
    low to the ground the club bed is gonna
  • 00:06:04
    be about in line with the hands okay
  • 00:06:06
    right that's gonna depend so we
  • 00:06:09
    obviously aren't seeing what this camera
  • 00:06:11
    is recording right now mhm
  • 00:06:12
    we just put in the middle we try to
  • 00:06:13
    stand in the middle so the camera is
  • 00:06:16
    much higher than where we would film a
  • 00:06:18
    swing from so what you're describing
  • 00:06:20
    isn't gonna show up necessarily no on
  • 00:06:23
    this camp here in a mirror yeah you
  • 00:06:26
    could see basically yes very something
  • 00:06:28
    very simple Club it in line with your
  • 00:06:30
    hand again we want to film this so if
  • 00:06:31
    I'm filming your swing I wanna film this
  • 00:06:33
    camera about hands height right behind
  • 00:06:36
    ya and I let see that far enough so they
  • 00:06:38
    can see that where it is 15 20 feet away
  • 00:06:40
    so that puts you in a spot where hands
  • 00:06:43
    in line with the club hit club level to
  • 00:06:46
    the ground the actual hands about in
  • 00:06:50
    front of the thigh about pretty much
  • 00:06:52
    where they started yeah as far as this
  • 00:06:55
    the depth depth but also they've swung
  • 00:06:58
    to a point there's some arm swing juice
  • 00:07:00
    that puts it in front of the leg this is
  • 00:07:03
    right
  • 00:07:03
    the other piece there's some little bit
  • 00:07:05
    of pronation the lead arm it just means
  • 00:07:08
    you're turning your hand where it right
  • 00:07:10
    now the palm is facing to the camera it
  • 00:07:14
    would face back corner so this would be
  • 00:07:15
    supination like you're holding a bowl
  • 00:07:17
    suit yep that's pronation so there's
  • 00:07:20
    some pronation pronation now in a
  • 00:07:22
    clockwise motion their last piece you
  • 00:07:24
    have to get this face in a good spot and
  • 00:07:27
    to do that as you take the club way the
  • 00:07:29
    right wrist is gonna angle back on
  • 00:07:31
    itself a little which you'll flatten the
  • 00:07:33
    left wrist a little bit hmm
  • 00:07:34
    okay that puts very very grip dependent
  • 00:07:37
    on how this limbs will look like we work
  • 00:07:40
    with Scott teaches both Joan Durant and
  • 00:07:42
    Boo Weekley
  • 00:07:43
    to two opposite ends of a scale as far
  • 00:07:46
    as grip Street which is just rotation on
  • 00:07:48
    the grass exactly alright so they both
  • 00:07:50
    look different with that left wrist at
  • 00:07:52
    that spot but the club head is in the
  • 00:07:55
    exact same spot so Mike is saying if you
  • 00:07:57
    have a more of a strong attachment or
  • 00:07:59
    grip to people on the club when you get
  • 00:08:01
    here you're gonna have a little cupping
  • 00:08:02
    or Cup but pay attention to the face
  • 00:08:04
    because we don't want it exaggerate it
  • 00:08:06
    open right and we don't want to
  • 00:08:07
    exaggerate we're up close to toe up just
  • 00:08:11
    slightly less than toe up it's gonna be
  • 00:08:13
    where the sweet spot is the last but not
  • 00:08:15
    least there's gonna be a little bit of
  • 00:08:18
    torso rotation and a little bit of hip
  • 00:08:20
    rotation well alright so those are your
  • 00:08:22
    kind of key checkpoints now let's go
  • 00:08:25
    into the drills and we'll see how you
  • 00:08:28
    can incorporate these on the driving
  • 00:08:29
    range all right Sean let's go through
  • 00:08:31
    now to tour drills that we use with
  • 00:08:32
    really all level of players all the way
  • 00:08:35
    up through our tour players and they're
  • 00:08:36
    they're very simple but they're very
  • 00:08:38
    effective
  • 00:08:39
    they cover a wide range of issues which
  • 00:08:41
    we like having a couple drills versus
  • 00:08:44
    thousands and thousands girls for the
  • 00:08:45
    same fix and the best part you don't
  • 00:08:47
    need any need any special equipment
  • 00:08:48
    we're really big into using things that
  • 00:08:51
    we pretty much all either having her
  • 00:08:52
    golf bag or have laying around the house
  • 00:08:54
    to make it simple absolutely yes so
  • 00:08:56
    let's call the first one the Nick price
  • 00:08:59
    drill I think I saw him doing it at Bay
  • 00:09:01
    Hill they used to go there a lot when I
  • 00:09:03
    was a kid watch the golf tournament
  • 00:09:04
    every year pretty much pretty good ball
  • 00:09:06
    striker yeah he was this while I went to
  • 00:09:08
    watch him is it at the time I think he
  • 00:09:10
    was number one ranked in the world then
  • 00:09:12
    he was doing a drill on the range where
  • 00:09:14
    he would take his address position I
  • 00:09:16
    think Ledbetter might have been with him
  • 00:09:18
    at the time he would put his hand here
  • 00:09:20
    and then swing the club head back and
  • 00:09:22
    swing his left arm back would leave his
  • 00:09:24
    arm here so he would swing it back so he
  • 00:09:27
    would he would swing his left arm under
  • 00:09:29
    his right mm-hmm okay so it was fairly
  • 00:09:32
    ingenious because then he would put his
  • 00:09:34
    right hand on and then he would hit a
  • 00:09:36
    shot so what he was doing he was guilty
  • 00:09:39
    of this early overturn which got his
  • 00:09:42
    club inside too far right causing him to
  • 00:09:44
    lift to the top which is one of his
  • 00:09:46
    Bugaboos and his swings he struggled
  • 00:09:48
    like somebody with this is brisk tempo
  • 00:09:50
    probably real easy they leave the club
  • 00:09:52
    the two low get turned too quick and
  • 00:09:55
    gets out of sleep no arms would lift and
  • 00:09:57
    they would struggle right so what a
  • 00:10:00
    great way for him to work on that
  • 00:10:02
    because what happens is when you put
  • 00:10:03
    your arm here and then swing the club
  • 00:10:04
    you get a two-for-one
  • 00:10:05
    first of all with just your left hand on
  • 00:10:08
    the club it's amazing how instinctively
  • 00:10:10
    you just stick the club because of the
  • 00:10:12
    weight of it yes it needs to find
  • 00:10:14
    neutral finds balance I guess you would
  • 00:10:16
    say so as you're doing that it'll pretty
  • 00:10:18
    much just line up with your hand and to
  • 00:10:20
    do it correctly or to do it you have to
  • 00:10:23
    swing your arm a little to get some
  • 00:10:24
    momentum right so that's one the second
  • 00:10:27
    great part about this drill is that it
  • 00:10:30
    keeps your shoulders from overturning
  • 00:10:31
    because when you leave your right hand
  • 00:10:33
    here you're not going to rotate your
  • 00:10:35
    body's wrench so here here now I've got
  • 00:10:39
    the correct amount of turn in my trunk
  • 00:10:41
    and my hips
  • 00:10:42
    now I've sequenced my takeaway from
  • 00:10:45
    there I'm just gonna finish a little bit
  • 00:10:48
    of arm swing a little bit of turn I have
  • 00:10:49
    no more run off no more lick and I'm
  • 00:10:51
    hitting the
  • 00:10:51
    and that's a great way that's drill
  • 00:10:54
    number one the question you get a lot in
  • 00:10:57
    all the social media channels that we
  • 00:10:58
    that we work on is guys want to go
  • 00:11:02
    really deep into this like so we talk
  • 00:11:05
    about take away for instance this tight
  • 00:11:06
    alright so how much forearm verses
  • 00:11:09
    that's not a forearm how much bicep
  • 00:11:12
    verses lat do I need to feel for this
  • 00:11:15
    take away me let's that's way to in
  • 00:11:17
    detail you're going down the wrong road
  • 00:11:19
    thinking about that that's the beauty of
  • 00:11:21
    this drill is it's a swing boom that's
  • 00:11:23
    how much of all that you need to feel
  • 00:11:25
    and you need to feel it rather than you
  • 00:11:28
    know we can't type out an email saying
  • 00:11:30
    okay ten percent flex over that's just
  • 00:11:33
    not how it works because this is not a
  • 00:11:35
    destination this is an early part of a
  • 00:11:37
    whole motion and if you can feel these
  • 00:11:40
    things right that's the beauty of this
  • 00:11:42
    huh I can close my eyes I can feel that
  • 00:11:44
    put that on there that might be a
  • 00:11:46
    completely different look than I've ever
  • 00:11:48
    seen myself in a mirror but it's gonna
  • 00:11:50
    be there right look so now I can start
  • 00:11:52
    to connect those dots yeah you know once
  • 00:11:55
    you do that a few times put two hands on
  • 00:11:57
    the club sit oh I feel it now I got to
  • 00:11:59
    get more motion in the club head and
  • 00:12:00
    what we usually see with this or what
  • 00:12:02
    I've seen is this is a left arm drill
  • 00:12:05
    that we're doing the guys are firing out
  • 00:12:07
    my right arm was nowhere near doing what
  • 00:12:09
    it was supposed to do mm-hmm
  • 00:12:10
    and it was either pulling back like you
  • 00:12:12
    said or taking it up so you really by
  • 00:12:14
    taking this arm that the culprit how to
  • 00:12:16
    play you can now start to get this thing
  • 00:12:19
    working better and then put it back on
  • 00:12:21
    okay that makes sense
  • 00:12:23
    okay Mike let's talk about tor drill
  • 00:12:25
    number two for the perfect takeaway yep
  • 00:12:27
    it's a motion now let's put it like
  • 00:12:30
    motion let's put more emotion to it
  • 00:12:31
    right so I really love this drill
  • 00:12:35
    because it takes care of almost all the
  • 00:12:39
    takeaway issues that's right right and a
  • 00:12:41
    lot of those arise because we're trying
  • 00:12:43
    to start things from a static position
  • 00:12:46
    right so if we were gonna go play catch
  • 00:12:47
    right when throw balls like camera two
  • 00:12:50
    cameras gonna come to life and throw
  • 00:12:51
    balls back at us we would throw and
  • 00:12:53
    while we're waiting is what we'd be
  • 00:12:55
    doing without even thinking about it we
  • 00:12:58
    wouldn't throw or get ready to throw
  • 00:13:00
    and then freeze right yeah you got to be
  • 00:13:05
    moving before the movement starts and
  • 00:13:08
    that's it's not a big swing your big
  • 00:13:10
    rocky but there is some subtle movements
  • 00:13:12
    there that's really gonna help yeah it'd
  • 00:13:13
    be like you playing third base like this
  • 00:13:16
    evolves tell me you got a scoop it is
  • 00:13:19
    all right they'll send you out there to
  • 00:13:20
    right field if that has so in baseball
  • 00:13:22
    is is different to because you're able
  • 00:13:25
    to move around they if the bat golf is a
  • 00:13:28
    little different yes it's so static so
  • 00:13:30
    how do we get some freedom and athletic
  • 00:13:33
    movement as the club he was always very
  • 00:13:35
    difficult that's why people struggle in
  • 00:13:37
    this first part of the swing how do we
  • 00:13:38
    get it going it's like the classic
  • 00:13:40
    question how do I start my swing right
  • 00:13:42
    here all the time instead of thinking
  • 00:13:43
    about what muscle to use and right how
  • 00:13:46
    to do this I can't yeah yeah yeah so
  • 00:13:49
    here's one way to do it and I love these
  • 00:13:52
    kind of drills right get in the club in
  • 00:13:55
    motion you know a lot of these drills I
  • 00:13:57
    got from different teachers over the
  • 00:13:58
    years this one or give credit to Gary
  • 00:14:00
    Gilcrest
  • 00:14:01
    unbelievable teacher uses a lot of these
  • 00:14:03
    drills and is Golf Academy during the
  • 00:14:06
    amount of drills in his library and guys
  • 00:14:08
    kind of got some good players okay so
  • 00:14:09
    this one here start the club forward
  • 00:14:13
    okay as you do that and I would just do
  • 00:14:16
    it as a practice first don't hit a ball
  • 00:14:17
    yet right start the club forward and
  • 00:14:20
    lift the right heel so it looks like
  • 00:14:23
    this you're kind of past impact with
  • 00:14:25
    your weight pressure all that stuff yeah
  • 00:14:27
    all on the front side and instead of
  • 00:14:28
    just swinging the handle forward I've
  • 00:14:30
    let the club head swing and kind of
  • 00:14:31
    pivot off my belt buck yes
  • 00:14:33
    okay I'll cup the left wrist right and
  • 00:14:35
    we're not trying to pose post impact you
  • 00:14:37
    know something like this so it looks
  • 00:14:39
    like this I'll do it from face on and I
  • 00:14:40
    do it from down the line to show you
  • 00:14:42
    what the results so forward put the
  • 00:14:45
    right heel back down swing the club back
  • 00:14:47
    stop yep okay so from face on view I've
  • 00:14:51
    accomplished the pressure shift at the
  • 00:14:54
    right time right I've got the most
  • 00:14:56
    pressure on my trail foot when the club
  • 00:14:58
    is the farthest away from the target
  • 00:14:59
    we're receiving a pass from the camera
  • 00:15:01
    in we're gonna receive it it's gonna be
  • 00:15:03
    all kind of one mode
  • 00:15:04
    we're gonna gather it and then get ready
  • 00:15:06
    to go boom okay now this is where it
  • 00:15:09
    really starts to get good right so now
  • 00:15:11
    I've swung the club forward pressure off
  • 00:15:14
    the right heel right heels up off the
  • 00:15:16
    ground
  • 00:15:16
    put it down swing the club back stop I
  • 00:15:19
    mean I put some speed in there right
  • 00:15:22
    just to get away from the wood in the
  • 00:15:24
    field we're big on doing drills slowly
  • 00:15:26
    but this is one of those drills where
  • 00:15:28
    you really want to start energizing yeah
  • 00:15:30
    energy put a little put a little motion
  • 00:15:32
    in it and then stop and by doing that
  • 00:15:35
    it's gonna force you into a lot of good
  • 00:15:37
    positions just first it's gonna get the
  • 00:15:40
    club head swinging instead of this
  • 00:15:42
    one-piece takeaway amazing second it
  • 00:15:45
    gets the wrist hinging at the right rate
  • 00:15:48
    yes no risk always it's using the weight
  • 00:15:55
    of the club to set the club this right
  • 00:15:59
    instead of just trying to push it are
  • 00:16:00
    you trying to fish for it and make each
  • 00:16:02
    increment happen fishing for positions
  • 00:16:05
    in golf is a difficult way to go about
  • 00:16:07
    it and I say that because to me this is
  • 00:16:09
    I'm practicing my takeaway right I'm
  • 00:16:12
    practicing my take oh not really
  • 00:16:13
    you're setting the club there but once
  • 00:16:15
    you make a backswing it's trapping
  • 00:16:16
    forces in play yeah it's gonna change
  • 00:16:18
    it's changing you know taxing anything
  • 00:16:20
    so go here swing it back I've put the
  • 00:16:24
    club in a good spot I've got my body
  • 00:16:26
    pressure in a good spot and if I do it
  • 00:16:29
    correctly I won't overturn no right
  • 00:16:32
    because I've got motion in the club it's
  • 00:16:34
    swinging the rate of it swinging is
  • 00:16:36
    going at a faster pace and I can even
  • 00:16:38
    turn in the direction of it yes so I've
  • 00:16:40
    got the right amount of torso rotation
  • 00:16:42
    the right amount of hip rotation it's
  • 00:16:43
    like an all-inclusive type that's where
  • 00:16:45
    I drill now you can hit balls with this
  • 00:16:49
    one too that we encourage that so we
  • 00:16:52
    like things that you can do especially
  • 00:16:54
    this one without a lot of props like
  • 00:16:55
    you're saying so this one
  • 00:16:57
    take the ball teed up with like an eight
  • 00:16:59
    or 7-iron okay just to make it easier at
  • 00:17:02
    first when you first do the drill
  • 00:17:04
    however the club off the ground above
  • 00:17:06
    the ball swing the club forward light in
  • 00:17:08
    your right heel again put it down swing
  • 00:17:10
    back and then go through and hit
  • 00:17:12
    and you are gonna feel especially if
  • 00:17:14
    you've never felt dynamic motion you're
  • 00:17:16
    gonna sense what it feels like to have
  • 00:17:17
    that flow that we're always talking
  • 00:17:19
    about I really start to feel now
  • 00:17:21
    pressure trace you're gonna start the
  • 00:17:23
    backswing right this take away by
  • 00:17:26
    stepping on this foot mm-hmm then forget
  • 00:17:29
    where the club is right now and go step
  • 00:17:32
    and then back to another step onto the
  • 00:17:34
    front foot this club is going to respond
  • 00:17:36
    like you've probably never felt it
  • 00:17:37
    before you're not gonna have all kinds
  • 00:17:39
    of runoff because you're not gonna be
  • 00:17:40
    stepping and then gathering and waiting
  • 00:17:43
    and then trying to make it forward step
  • 00:17:45
    step it's a little dance move with Scott
  • 00:17:48
    likes to say it's a little dance move
  • 00:17:49
    that let the club respond to those
  • 00:17:53
    movements you will see some really cool
  • 00:17:55
    things start to happen so you have a
  • 00:17:58
    really interesting part of this if you
  • 00:18:00
    can have a good grip and have a pretty
  • 00:18:02
    good grasp of the body angles like make
  • 00:18:05
    sure you're not kind of flattening the
  • 00:18:06
    shoulders and all that you were gonna be
  • 00:18:08
    amazed without thinking about swing
  • 00:18:11
    playing right you're gonna be amazed at
  • 00:18:14
    how well the club swings on play without
  • 00:18:17
    you even trying to do it that's right
  • 00:18:18
    because you're using a good grip good
  • 00:18:21
    body motion and good sequence to create
  • 00:18:24
    the swing plane instead of trying to
  • 00:18:26
    fish its what the best players in the
  • 00:18:28
    world do they they allow their dynamic
  • 00:18:30
    movements to create a lot of the static
  • 00:18:32
    positions that we've all been guilty of
  • 00:18:35
    over analyzing before it that's the
  • 00:18:37
    progression of that it's not dynamic
  • 00:18:39
    movements aren't born from static
  • 00:18:41
    positions the other way around
  • 00:18:42
    yeah like the great players over the
  • 00:18:43
    years never even film their swing some
  • 00:18:46
    of them had no unbelievable yes on
  • 00:18:48
    playing Sam's knees right these guys
  • 00:18:50
    didn't grow up in a beautiful-looking
  • 00:18:52
    another swing right they grew up out
  • 00:18:55
    there getting it done moving and there's
  • 00:18:57
    nobody that moves better than Sam yeah
  • 00:18:59
    yeah funny enough you say that Sam Snead
  • 00:19:03
    was one of the players that actually
  • 00:19:04
    picks his right heel up before he came
  • 00:19:06
    to the club away there's a lot of great
  • 00:19:07
    players to do yeah there is a lot of
  • 00:19:09
    good players and he's a great example
  • 00:19:11
    cuz he's considered to have one of the
  • 00:19:13
    most rhythmically fluid rhythmically
  • 00:19:15
    it's hard to say fluid swings and part
  • 00:19:18
    of that is because he gives himself a
  • 00:19:19
    head start then you start your
  • 00:19:21
    this flood oily sam snead trademark ya
  • 00:19:25
    tempo and rhythm yeah yeah so that the
  • 00:19:27
    right heel motion what you can do if
  • 00:19:28
    this drill kind of resonates with you
  • 00:19:30
    and you feel like you're getting results
  • 00:19:31
    by swinging it forward swinging the back
  • 00:19:33
    when you get on the COFF course and
  • 00:19:35
    incorporate it into your absolutely game
  • 00:19:38
    right absolutely
  • 00:19:39
    so what you would do is set up to the
  • 00:19:41
    ball as your waggling i would tap both
  • 00:19:43
    heels and then as you before you take
  • 00:19:45
    the club away lift your right heel up
  • 00:19:48
    inside the shoe you don't even either
  • 00:19:49
    get around your yeah just and
  • 00:19:51
    perceivably you're just creating a
  • 00:19:53
    little trigger it's just enough to get a
  • 00:19:56
    little momentum to the left and you
  • 00:19:57
    start a little momentum left and you
  • 00:20:00
    start putting it down again it gives you
  • 00:20:02
    the feeling of that flow that it's like
  • 00:20:05
    an athletic flow that's exactly right
  • 00:20:07
    you can see it in great swings Ernie
  • 00:20:08
    ELLs all these swings you can see in
  • 00:20:10
    your mind
  • 00:20:11
    Louie you stays and some reason they're
  • 00:20:12
    here you come to mind and they have that
  • 00:20:16
    kind of flowing motion to the swing that
  • 00:20:19
    it looks effortless the copper-kidd
  • 00:20:21
    lines on your grandson your buddy or
  • 00:20:23
    whatever neither one of you are gonna be
  • 00:20:27
    right you're gonna be digitized even the
  • 00:20:29
    ball and move it and you got to adjust
  • 00:20:32
    and all this it's it's motion we want to
  • 00:20:34
    create motion and allow that good motion
  • 00:20:37
    to create good positions with the club
  • 00:20:39
    absolutely right so those are the two
  • 00:20:40
    tour drills for the perfect takeaway
  • 00:20:42
    we've got the Nick Price drill right
  • 00:20:45
    hover the hand here and then we've got
  • 00:20:47
    the athletic motion drill basically
  • 00:20:49
    athletic motion take away athletic
  • 00:20:51
    motion take away for an Alan emotion
  • 00:20:52
    golf swing and for better golf shots if
