With your fantastic help and direction Michael is becoming extremely proficient in the real golf swing of angular momentum golf. I believe few golf instructors know about this or exactly know how to teach it as you do. In my opinion no one should be allowed to become a golfer teaching professional unless they teach a program such as you do. Cheers ⛳️😃👍🥂❤️
Adam Porzak … these are on the only instruction videos that I watch online. Brilliant content, clean and clear teachings with no doubt or inconsistency in the underlying message. Far and away the best golf instruction videos on TH-cam. Thanks ever so much. 🙏
2 yrs later i find this , ive been working on that outside the line takeaway that brings the club back fast left , trying to kill off a hook . Everywhere i look that takeaway is a no no but it just works for me . 👍
Love his ever so slight pause at the top. What is your key reason to keep his right shoulder down? Are you a fan of doing golf glove in right arm pit drill?
Hey Pureimpact, a staple in Porzak Golf's teaching is keeping the hands and arms in front of the body's center(the chest). When the right elbow gets too high, it one goes beyond the bodies center. Another thing it does, is it throws off the timing and sequence. The body has stopped turning but the arms keep lifting, then the lower body starts while the arms are still going up, getting the arms stuck behind the body early in the transition. That leads to manipulation, stalling and needing to catch up the hands at impact. Hope that makes sense. We want to keep the arms connected to the bodies turn, and when the upper body stops turning so does the right elbow stop going up. Hope that helps! - Gabe p.s. I've never seen Adam use the glove in the armpit drill.
im a 17 hcp so im probably not even qualified to say this but youre a AWESOME swing instructor!! i love your videos adam youre the man. im in NorCal and i wish i could have a lesson or two with you but im pretty sure i cant afford you.😥😥🤣🤣
Another great video on the takeaway , I’m gradually getting my backswing on plane. The elbow down is great. If I come to the States, I’m coming to San Diego to meet this man!
Thanks Lachlan, we appreciate the support, and your compliment means the world! Glad you are enjoying the vids! We have more on the way, look forward to working with you one day!
I really enjoy watching these top golf athletes in action, and how I continue to learn from you and them. I also struggle with getting my back elbow in the right position. I have at times have a flying elbow which causes me to come over the top.

That’s funny. From the thumbnail I see that they are teaching here - but on the backswing - what I try to do on the downswing. (Hands in and clubhead out.) Sooooo, maybe to increase my consistency in that pattern in the downswing I should try hands in and clubhead out early in the backswing (as illustrated in the thumbnail? Gonna give it a try. I like this kid’s release in the hitting area with a nice smooth turn.
Ive tried so hard to fix this that ive developed a horrible habit of looking back at the club during my backswing causing an early hip turn and all the weight on my outside right heel...its horrible
Hey Paul, for Adam the main intention is actually connection. We have three main components of connection, first is club in front of hands, second is hands in front of the body. Then we maintain that connection through the whole swing. When the club gets too far on the inside or too vertical it gets outside of the body's center and some rerouting has to take place to get it back in front. It keeps the connection without any need to manipulate later in the swing. Hard to describe through text, Adam talks about this in a lot of the videos. Hope that helps some! - Gabe
I just made this adjustment to my swing. I was struggling with control even with wedges because I was bringing the club head inside too far on the takeaway. I could go 20 yards right or left. Then I took the club back for the first 3 feet or so leaving the head out and hands in. After that it is basically a feeling of raising the club straight up and rotating shoulders (instead of turning shoulders). The first ball I hit actually came to rest at the base of the target pole (essentially a hole in one). Every shot kept dead straight AND distance was perfect as well. Head OUT Hands IN resulted in a major game changing level of consistency. I think this method keeps the club on a consistent plane. It eliminates a lot of the variability of bringing the club inside which allows too many body parts to influence the contact position. Or I may just be FOS! 😂 It works for me.
Clubhead on Backswing and downswing will do the opposite of each other...on downswing you want to hit with the clubhead coming from the inside and slightly behind you with your hands leading...if you do "hands out, club in" on the backswing, you'll get the opposite on the downswing and come over the top in order to hit it or if you try to come back to the ball on the same plane you'll likely flip, chunk, or thin it, or you'll have to lift your hands really high at the top and then attempt to reroute the club back on plane (not impossible to hit great shots with this inside takeaway...Jon rahm brings the club slightly inside and hes incredible, as does John daly...but these guys are massively talented and freakishly gifted)
Question: why is the flaring of the right elbow up/behind body,instead of down, such an important element in the backswing? Does it lead to getting stuck or is it more of a problem with changing with plane to detriment of consistency?
I love this feel but it makes my swing steeper. Why would that be? I assume that means normally I stand up in order to fake the shallow swing. What feels do you have to shallow in transition?
Best way to shallow, is to get the takeaway and get to the top of the backswing in the right position. Then getting it to shallow is 10X easier. Hard to say without seeing your swing. Thanks for watching and the comment! - Gabe
Started watching your videos and have been working on the hands down, clubhead up. The club feels weightless doing this! A question I have, though, since you do not recommend any roll over, is how do you keep the club from being way across the line at the top? Am I doing something wrong (or not doing something, period) if that ends up being the case?
Thanks for the comment and great question, it's about getting it in the perfect set position and the just a turn to the top! Check out our Master Class sale where we will give you complete system! bit.ly/FullSwingMasterClass
He says he missed three greens in a 54 hole State Am. Why are you working on his swing..? Just play golf, and practice your skills. Padraig H. was winning a lot and majors, he did a swing change, he was never the same.
took me a long time to understand this, it's a very unnatural and wrong feeling..(you feel like matt wolfe the first time you keel your hands jn and club out) bur really it's just on plane
What do you like about Michael's Swing? bit.ly/PorzakFreeVids
it looks very fluid and easy. some people look like they are working too hard to swing the club sometimes.
With your fantastic help and direction Michael is becoming extremely proficient in the real golf swing of angular momentum golf.

In my opinion no one should be allowed to become a golfer teaching professional unless they teach a program such as you do. Cheers ⛳️😃👍🥂❤️
I really like how smooth he seems to hit it and still generate compression.

The part about the hip bump and keeping the spine angle is a life changer 👍
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Shout out to Gabe for legendary camera work! Makes it much easier to learn the concepts Adam is throwing down
Hands in clubs out is the way. Takes times but worth it.
Well worth it! Thanks for watching!
I like the small pause at the top but if I try it, its hard not to rush the downswing.
Great swing, wish I had started that young 😎
Thanks Mark, you will get it! Thanks for the support! Ya it's pretty fun watching these guys swing! - Gabe

@@PorzakGolf thanks for the thorough explanation! That's makes alot of sense.
Great tip with hands inside & clubhead outside with stick
Chest high shorties 👌🏾I’ll have to incorporate those into my practice sessions
im a 17 hcp so im probably not even qualified to say this but youre a AWESOME swing instructor!! i love your videos adam youre the man. im in NorCal and i wish i could have a lesson or two with you but im pretty sure i cant afford you.😥😥🤣🤣
Thanks Salty Golfer, I will relay to Adam! Thanks for the support and we hope to see you one day! Keep up the great work!
Everyone has got to start somewhere! Keep having fun!

Love the videos man. Ive gotta say your one of the coaches that make golf so enjoyable. Wish I could get a lesson. Keep up the good work.😁🇦🇺
Thanks Lachlan, we appreciate the support, and your compliment means the world! Glad you are enjoying the vids! We have more on the way, look forward to working with you one day!
Just really gteat, love to see! 3 wood shots !! As I find it very difficult to hit these shots off fairway in my club game . Thanks
Thanks Maurice, we appreciate the support and comment!

Appreciate these vids. You seem like an awesome, cool headed and high IQ golf coach. Wish I could afford your teaching fees.
Thanks Cee Bee. I def recommend Adam for a lesson, one lesson is worth a hundred of getting the wrong ones! - Gabe
Those Cushmans are fun to drive!
Wow wow!! Cannot say enough good things about you!! You’ve changed my way of playing golf. Do you do online or FaceTime lessons? This has been working great for me.
We would love to see you for an online lesson! porzakgolf.com/online-lessons/

5:16 yur tell’s me that’s a shortened swing? Dam I was my full swing had that much range. Finished seemed cut off but that backswing seemed full. 🤯
When you said keep that hip out. Do you mean the left hip? Like keep it there after the bump throughout the swing. Thank you for the great content !
Exactly what we mean!
Love your videos 🇸🇪
We appreciate the support Anton, we won't be slowing down! Thanks again!
Love your channel! Is the takeaway from wedge to 3 iron, etc stay the same?
Yes, exact same!
Amazing content
Thank you!
Very JT like golf swing. What does hands in club out actually do? I know it helps to keep you on plane, does it also help set the wrists?

Did Adam state the left hip bump (toward target) at address is necessary for this teaching?
Yes, it is, for all clubs. It gives an anchor point to turn around! Something we will go into detail in the future!
Stack and tilt like
Smooth swing…
Kid’s swing reminds me a little bit of Xander Shaf..(sp)
Have you got a tip for a flying elbow kinda lifting at the top ?
Keep your elbows close together in the back swing!
@@PorzakGolf thanks
Does he ever miss one? Impressive
6:19 I felt that
Does this type of upright swing tend to have a fade bias? Is it hard to draw with a full swing?
This will be a neutral ball flight with the ability to work it both ways… we shape the golf ball by adjusting our setup more than altering the swing
@@PorzakGolf beauty, thanks for clarifying!
That’s Gabe in the background? The man that was a TH-cam sensation then disappeared years ago!
The one and only! He got this channel started with us! He’s a legend! Check him out now at his current project Golf Influencer!
Watched him play the final day, destroyed muni👏
Hard to get it since the instructions completely not clear😢
does this apply to driver takeaway as-well?
Every club from wedges to Driver, and even more important the longer the club gets!!!
Where are you located? I want to come get a lesson.
Email us at Info@PorzakGolf.com we would love to work with you! WE are in San Diego, CA and we do online lessons as well!
👍👍👍
MARK! 😃😃
Everyones always being told take the club inside! But seems it’s wrong info! “Take the hands inside”
Started watching your videos and have been working on the hands down, clubhead up. The club feels weightless doing this!
