Hold or tape an alignment stick to the butt end of a golf club and swing with the stick against your lead thigh during the takeaway and lifting of the arms. Incredible drill to get the correct hand path and feel. This will likely feel horrible for most people but perfect on video. With this drill you can’t do it wrong. Do this and your ball striking will go to the next level.

For the life of me i can't hit a 54 wedge any where near 100 yards, 65-70 yards tops. Feels like the harder I swing the higher and shorter it goes. Thanks for this.

Super helpful, thanks

3 in a row ! Thats clever

Can we see a downswing hand plus club path ?? Excellent video. And at 6.55 you said, pressure into the grip… what you mean by pressure ? You mean pushing down on the grip ?

Black hole is instantly a light bulb . Solid shot after another, thanks

that was some great tips, all starts to make sense... a little ;)

So how do you fix it?

Crap! Sucking content out of your ass. 🖕

We miss you come back and post more videos, my golf game needs it.

Thanks

You cannot leave us hanging, why not with driver?

like da 3 ball drill a lot

Great vid. Sweet jams too

I can’t (won’t) watch anyone else. I promise, I promise, I promise Cheers from Downunder🇦🇺

I did the pump drill with the three balls lined up today and took some of the best swings of my life. Thank you good sir

can you help me understand all your other videos are about dropping the club down at the 20 deg angle and releasing with rotation.. but here with drive you talk about release from top.. I drag the handle to much hitting driver high on face pop ups so do I want to get my hands down more and release with body or some release from top action? Thank you

When you drop the arms are you keeping the set in wrist or releasing?

It appears to me there’s no hip or body turn until you get to set position is that correct? and for me that’s the only way to keep hands and club head on the parallel tracks you showed in other video. Thx

Great over top fix , I’m occasionally over top but more often I drag the handle to much, with the pump drill would you say the butt of club is bellow belt line and few inch behind rt pocket? Do you have a video that addresses dragging the handle to much ? Thx

I never understand this, what about the once piece drill they put the butt of club in stomach and turns all together if it all turns together wouldn’t hands and club head go in a semi circle how long does the hands and club stay on line? When I do it I feel like I’m dragging the head and it stays closed.. I think your rt but I’m not quite there. Thx

Wish I could like this video a million times ❤

INSTANT SUBSCRIBER. You sold me immediately. 1000's of TH-cam videos and this is one of the best describing the most important part of the swing. Getting to P2. Thanks!

Never felt this sensation in my glute. Not a swayer, but a chronic over rotater and struggle to sync up the downswing, often getting “stuck” and getting some arm swing overrun going back. Great drill. Never felt my hip and quad like that. Follow up Q: using the pitcher analogy, the pressure should start offloading before the top of the backswing correct?

Mike, thank you for uploading these incredible videos. You and Adam are the best, hands down, anywhere. It also goes w/o saying you guys work with the top players in the world so there's that too. Anyway, I appreciate your explanation - I feel that if I don't quite get what Adam explained on his channel, your explanation seems to help me 'get it' and vice versa. Keep it up, perhaps I'll see you at one of your clinics next year

Thanks

Mike,great teaching and understanding video. Quick question, I think at times I start to lift my hands slightly on the takeaway. So shoulder turn is limited. Am I correct in saying you want the players hands to stay on the same line going back until P 3 ? Then they will begin to turn up as shoulders turn more.

Jack Niklaus 18 majors btw..would not agree 😂

I love the soft right arm analogy 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Another great lesson

Awesome tips Mike. Great job as always. Thanks.

When do you start to hinge in the takeaway?

Mike you’ve improved my game a lot,,,, thanks,,, a *12 handicap old Nam Veteran,,,,,

The "black hole" grip was just a revelation for me! I have such a hard time stopping the hinging run off at the top.

Been watching the Porzak Golf channel for a while, but recently discovered this one and both channels are so stellar! Really strikes a chord with how I view my own swing! Thanks!!

I figured out how to fix my toe shots. I got closer to the ball.

This is the best takeaway video I have ever seen. Nicely explained. Thank You. Great job.

Thanks. Take away super important. I will video myself to see how I'm doing. Good video lesson. Thanks again. Oscar Canada

Great lesson and thank you! Staying connected is something that I'm working on and although I've seen this drill many times, you have a knack of making things very clear. Good luck to our young star too - she has a wonderful swing. One day she may be at a college with my son - roughly the same age and working towards the US college dream too! Cheers from Sydney (Aust), Dave

Mike ,,,, you fixed my swing,,, thank you so much,,,,,

Can you use the 22.5 degree pump drill to fix a driver as well?

Excessive hip flexion could cause you to slightly lean during the backswing as well I’ve noticed. I don’t even focus on hips just keep them stacked above your feet and feel for the coil sensation in your waist

D factor destroyed many golf careers by false science of restricting hips and thus causing back problems . Jason day Tiger are some examples

Yes x factor is a concept by Jim McLean .....however its more important that u create x factor on the downswing thru separation of hips n upper body ......another way to create power is thru ground forces......to me x factor on backswing is overrated......

That should help. Thank you!

I was an over-the-topper for a long time, my Club pro gave me a tip, and he said try to hit it at 7 o'clock. As you would say, Mike, boom, that fixed my over-the-top issue. So his recommendation and yours are essentially the same.

Interesting .. I’ve never heard this before

Instantly my hole!!!

I absolutely LOVE this video. However I just can't ignore the "White Flag Power" comment...

I have been struggling with "low-on-the-face" contact/"low-ball flight" with my driver. I took your recommendations to my backyard training station and it really seemed to make a positive difference in the strike and also in how high the ball strikes the practice net. I can't wait to try this setup on the course tomorrow morning. I really enjoy your golf tip tutorials and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.
