Best part about these are getting the core rotating, what a breakthrough for me with ALL clubs down through chipping, thanks Adam 🔥😎👍

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment Bob.
All the best, Adam

[@allanblair3471]

Great drill Adam, just like all your tips & drills, definitely one of my favourite online golf coaches.
Thanks Allan.

Thanks very much Allan.

[@johnharrington6122]

Adam , this is the best ! This is what the best have done for over 100 years ! Same thing as Mike Adams taught : left arm down the toe line across the chest till you run out of arm and the turn will take care of the rest and like you said ,make that little loop into the delivery position ! Thanks, John

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment John

[@tomclayton9678]

This drill is a game changer. Since correcting my takeaway all my shots are going straight and further. No more pulling or pushing shots. Thank you Adam you are a great coach !!!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Tom, glad you found the video helpful

[@s3gts]

As good as it gets Adam. Left Hand Pinky Pressure also Helps. If you look from down the line you can clearly see the Ring finger and Pinky of the Left Hand until they pass the Right Hip. (Kinda like your flashlight)This weeks Hogan Special on the Golf Channel had segment of the Coleman clip in his later years talking about the middle 2 fingers of the Right Hand. How many listeners paid attention to what he said about the last 2 fingers in the Left Hand? Pinky's trigger the Ulnar region of the forearm and this is the area that people never see from our top down perspective. The Ball does though. Alignment of the Shaft bisecting the Right Forearm is everything. It bisects on the take away and trails in the Strike. Great Stuff my friend.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Dave, always like your passion for the subtleties in golf.

I like how all the lessons are short and concise. My swing thought on take away has always been slow, big arc with both arms and trunk while keeping head still. This lesson seems to reaffirm that.

Hi Adam
I tried your two-handed takeaway drill for the first time on Monday and scored 45 stableford points (gross 80) at my home course of Cottesmore G&CC, Sussex. On Tuesday I scored 38points in a qualifier and received a 0.3 handicap reduction and today, Wednesday, I scored 43 points (gross 82) at Woodcote Park GC, Surrey - a course I have never played before. Now have a driving accuracy of 76% and added 15 yards to my drives. Long may it continue - a great tip!!
Thank you

[@sevesellors2831]

Great video Adam, any tips on keeping the backswing compact, I sometimes get the yips with my woods and overswing by getting to much arms/ hands rather than the big muscles.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Seve.
Just trying to keep things one piece, and keeping the arms fairly close to eachother late in the backswing.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam

[@arthurbandian604]

Hey Adam, I love your videos a lot. Would it be the same takeaway for irons as well? Many thanks

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Arthur. Yes, I'd say the same on any full swing.
Best, Adam

[@maness2112]

I have been working on this, been getting some good results. Gotta just trust it. This type of take always feels unnatural to me. But gotta commit 100%. Exciting stuff. I'm a dork.

Best, Adam

[@raymondchastel414]

David LEADBETTER teached a great exercise : place a basket ball just behind your club head . Then push it straight back as far as possible to start your backswing . Thus obliges you to use your upper arms to do so and prevents any rolling of the wrists

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Sounds like a great drill from my old boss!
Thanks Raymond

[@armstrc1]

Would you advise this for irons as well?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Yes Chris, same thing

[@Jimsranch]

Hi Adam, when my Dad was introducing me to golf he gave me a drill of imagining a ball sitting on a short tee 10 ball widths back along my intended ball path. He said to knock that imaginary ball off its tee- this helped with a one piece takeaway. Sometimes today I almost feel as if I pick the club up as the backswing begins (trying to keep it outside)- I seem to have good luck with that because it "makes" me bring the club 'in' at the beginning of the downswing- tucking my right elbow. I also watched a Bob Toski (I think it was him) instructing an 'inverted C' - in the backswing- on plane in the backswing and then inside from transition. What do you think of this (these) ideas? Thank you for your videos !

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Jim,
The drills might be helpful. The effectiveness of a drill depends on what your tendencies are at that point, plus each person reacts to drills and feels things differently. I’d film myself and see if the drill you are doing is improving your motion.
I hope this helps.
All the best, Adam

[@michaelmunin5819]

Adam, I did this today on the golf course (cupped wrist left arm on backswing) and it really helped! At the top the club developed the nice lag you described. I started doing this with my irons and wedges and it seemed to work. Is this ok or just for driver only?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad to hear it Michael. Use it for all clubs.
Best, Adam

[@sontan3124]

what about the next motion? after you take away to the right with your arms straight like you did, can you just keep turning and go straight up while cocking the wrist?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Aliza,
The right arm (and wrist) start to fold gradually after the first move.
Hope this helps.
Best. Adam.

[@gwilson453]

Hi Adam, I always struggle with the takeaway where my hands want to disconnect from the body and get outside the line.
This is always my go to video, especially drill number 1. As I do this drill it looks like the knuckles of the left hand naturally turn down towards the ground. Is this correct?
Thanks Adam.
Gordon Wilson.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Yes, that’s a good look (as long as the back of the lead wrist doesn’t bow flat)
All the best, Adam

[@gwilson453]

@@Scratchgolfacademy ok thanks. Appreciate your help.

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Lobe the videos! Got rid of my sclice finally. After more then a month of great driving all the sudden im drive knuckleballs 2 the left. I dont know what they call that, but I'm hoping to find the solution in another one of your videos

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Neil. We all have to make ongoing adjustments in this game, hope you can sort it out.
Best, Adam

That we do. I know im just passin step 1. Just wanted 2 thank u.

[@victorperezjr.8122]

Great video Adam. How could I fix my angle of attack it is at 22 really do need your help?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Victor,
I doubt it's at 22, you should have it properly measured. I'm afraid it's hard to say without seeing you swing. I have a lot of videos on path, plane etc, these would be relevant. I hope you find them helpful.
Best, Adam

[@victorperezjr.8122]

@@Scratchgolfacademy I was on the sky track and my angle attack was marking 22 with the spin rate 3500. My swing speed is at 103

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Victor,
I've seen a lot of launch monitor data over the years, never a number like 22. With that speed I'd bet 500-1 against it. I'd get re-measured.
Best, Adam

[@davidsale1226]

Does initiating the backswing by a smooth push away of the left shoulder, arm, and hand constitute an undesirable "placing" of the hands and club as referenced in this video? It would seem that initiating the take away in this manner would facilitate good timing as it would prevent a too early turn of the hips and allow the club, hands, arms, and body to reach the top at the same time--an essential to good timing that you reference on another video. Moreover, this would also assist in creating a good swing plane. Thanks so much, Adam, for your superb instructional videos!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks David.
What you describe seems perfectly reasonable to me. In other words, if that image gives you good flow and timing stick with it.
All the best, Adam

[@davidsale1226]

Yes, this would apply to both.

[@donomar619lv]

What happens with the right knee on the takeaway? Is there anything we can do?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

I wouldn't force anything, but the right knee would bet pushed back slightly by the pivot.

@@Scratchgolfacademy Adam, I used these drills when practicing and then took it to the course and it made a big difference. My body was much more engaged and I hit the ball much more solid. Great drills. I particularly found the last one most helpful.

[@gordonwilson8028]

Thanks for this video. I think this is something I can work on and actually feel where the hand and body should be. This is something I've struggled with all my life and the old habits are so hard to shake. After that first move with the laser beam feel, is there another feel you can suggest to get to the top of the backswing?
Thank you again.
Gordon.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Gordon,
I'd work on the pivot, and feel the pivot is mostly what takes the arms to the top.
