Do This To Fix Your Takeaway

- In this video I will show a selection of the best way to fix your takeaway for good. It is crucial that you get the first couple of feet of the golf swing correct. If you do you will be well on your way to a more consistent golf swing.
A lot of amateurs struggle with the takeaway and immediately put themselves on the back foot. Often they will watch a TH-cam video and the fix just doesn't work. This is why in this video I go through multiple different way to fix your takeaway. Having a great takeaway will set you up for a perfect backswing.
The first way is by focus on the forearms in the takeaway. By understanding how each arm should work relative to each other can help you fix your inside takeaway. Using a steering wheel analogy you will be able to learn the correct feelings instantly. The second way is by focusing on the hands and wrists. Having the correct wrist set is key as it allows you to set the club up on plane with a great takeaway. A poor wrist set will make you lose control of the clubface, get the club off plane straight away, get the takeaway too far inside, get the club outside the hands and create a poor position. To finish the video I go through two simple golf takeaway drills that will allow you to speed up your learning process allowing you to achieve a perfect takeaway position. These drills will help with wrist hinge, an inside takeaway, outside takeaway, your hand path and clubface positioning.
This video is a fantastic guide, filled with huge detail in how to fix your takeaway. This will allow you to achieve a perfect takeaway position. Check out this video and like always let me know what other golf coaching videos you would like to see!

Hi Everyone, Which one of these fixes works best for you?
The finger pointer drill is one that has worked for me really well!
@@lewiswilliams931 it’s an amazing drill to get the club up more
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 👍
@@user_1664 wrist hinge is gradual but if it keeps going inside try and add some earlier. Glad you enjoyed the video
Struggled for years with rolling the forearms.. this has helped big time .. great video..👍
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.
Great to hear that fixing the takeaway gave you some awesome results. It really does help you get your swing on the right track early
I didn’t realize how important the takeaway was until I started doing it more correctly using this video as a great guide. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Incredible level of detail. I love how you give multiple drills and ways to fix this. Best video on the takeaway in TH-cam
Thank you! That was exactly what I was going for! Glad you liked it!
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!
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.
Thank you😂
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!
That’s amazing! Thank you so much
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..
Great to hear!
Yes, your instructions and drills are clear. Thanks for tips.
No problem Carlos!
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.
Thank you Dave. Great to hear you found the video helpful
I’ve been watching countless videos for the take away… this by far helped me the most. Thank you so much
Glad it helped!
Awesome tips for fixing the most common issues golfers don't realise but face 👍
Thank you!
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.
Awesome! Thank you! Hope they make a big difference this season
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!!!
You’re welcome Nick! Hope this is a game changer for you!
Great actionable video 👏👏
Thank you!
You've really helped my game. Thank you!
Amazing! Glad I could help
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
Phenomenal! Glad that feel helped
Great video
Thank you!
Giles, great instruction. First Rate.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
The fore finger down the shaft is a gem Giles , great checkpoint , thanks
It’s an awesome drill thats also super simple
Some excellent drills here! Will be using these over the winter practice season.
Thank you!
very clear thanks!👍
Great to hear you enjoyed it!
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.
Thank you & it’s great to hear these helped!
This is the best back swing video I've ever seen great job. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
This is such a helpful tip and drill! Great teaching as always, great job!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. Good advice
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Best takeaway video I’ve seen to date, followed 🤙🏻
Thank you!
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.
The shanks can definitely stem from a poor takeaway! Hope this helps you get back on track
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.
At address you do want a soft trail arm (about 10 degrees)
sound clear advice, very good
Glad you think so!
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!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!
Amazing! Glad I can help & spread the word 😁
OMG the steering wheel finally I could never get that concept ! Looking forward to the next range session
Amazing! Glad I could help
Hello Giles. Brilliant imagery (water) and feels (frisbee). Thank you sir.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video
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⛳️🏌️♂️😃
Fantastic! Great to hear it helped!
Absolutely fantastic drills
Thank you
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!
Thank you! Hope this fix your takeaway for good
@@Gilesgillgolf
Thank you, Giles.
@@miloradjelic7521 no problem!
This is excellent 😊
Thank you!
Great video Giles, hopefully when trying this tomorrow, it will help with my poor backswing. 🤞🤞
It definitely will. Good luck
Very very impressive.
Thankyou...
You’re welcome!
Great teaching
Thank you!
Saved to my favourites ❤
Amazing!
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.
Exactly that! Gives you awesome direct feedback
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.
Thank you! Yes golf is a game of opposites! Glad you enjoyed the video
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.
Great to hear you’re enjoying the videos and passing them on! Thank you Oscar!
Awesome!
Thank you!
I have lowered my handicap from a 10.0 to a 6.1 in five rounds since watching your videos, thank you so much for your content and keep it coming!!!
That’s amazing in to hear! Congratulations!
Thank you for the fantastic drill. When I'm playing badly I suck the club to the inside like you said. Thanks again from the state of Vermont.
Thank you!
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.
Yes I do, I have quite a few low point videos
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!!
I really appreciate the comment John! Glad all these drills and feels are fitting in with your game!
Thanks! I will put this in practice so let you know the outcome
Good luck
great video, the finger point work much easy for me.
Great! Glad you enjoyed the video
@@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 ?
@@vinhgolf only slightly more
@@Gilesgillgolf got it . Thanks
@@vinhgolf no problem
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.
Thank you and great to hear that this one is really working well for you! Awesome to hear!
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.
@@fraserbarnes9607 you won’t be externally rotating your lead arm
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... 👍
Amazing! Simple swing thoughts but they sound like they’re making a big difference
@@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...?
@@leemartin1122 armsy downswings tend to be caused by poor backswings. Make sure your pivot is good in the backswing & you have the correct structure
you can do everything he was suggesting in the video while your right elbow is touching the torso, it's very easy.
@@douglasscovil3447 you’d be over folding your trail arm and sacrificing width if you do
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.
Great! The difference is the level of exaggeration you have to apply
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..
It’s the same for driver but due to the long shaft the swing plane is naturally flatter
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.
I have videos on the rest of the backswing already so please check them out
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
That’s another great analogy!
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.
@@davidstockman9277 exactly! It’s about that penny drop moment! Glad things are back on track for you
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!🙏
I have videos specifically on the transition so head over an watch them
@@Gilesgillgolf found it thanks, great content 🙏
@@TicoToni13 glad you’re enjoying it
Would this be the same feel for chipping / pitching, Thanks
It depends your tendencies but it could apply to short game too
Rickie FOWLER's new takeaway is very similar to what you teach
Yes exactly. A lot more neutral
Pushing the butt of the club down with the left hand is golden.
It really is!
try keeping rear forearm higher than front in take away and was 7 under my handicap
Love that! Great work
So when you push down with your palm, how do you now cup your wrist with your left hand?
Right wrist setting is what flattens the left wrist
Can the inside takeaway lead to shanks? This creeps into my game occasionally!
Yes of course. It can lead to the under and then over pattern which can cause shanks
@@Gilesgillgolf thanks G !
@@mickritchie1815 No problem!
Push down pull up , also like turning frisbee..thanks
Hope it helps
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?
It is down to preference the way you set the wrists is still the same. See my other videos for that
@@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.
OMG..😮.. 🏆
Hope this helps
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.
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
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
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
🙏🙏🙏
Glad you like it
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 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!
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.
