Finally a real takeaway drill that makes sense! You guys are the best on the internet.

Hello Gentlemen. Once again another demonstration for a move such as the takeaway and back swing that has NEVER never been demonstrated in such a proficient and simple form. I’ve been around the golf game for more years than I cane to mention…..this video of the take away is the best! Ever! Again you are miles ahead of all lessons. Thank you and I can’t wait for the next amazing moment. Jerry

Thx guys! I've just tried it at home in the living room and am so going to try this out when the season starts. It feels stable from the beginning.

Top notch instruction from Mike and Shaun. This modern understanding of the game, which includes verifiable biomechanics, is a milestone in golf instruction. You guys are REMOVING THE MYSTERY OF THE GOLF SWING, YA BABY!

I have been searching for help on my disastrous swing. I love the fact that you provide drills. So many golf channels are too much talk. I have been working through grip, takeaway, pivot, turning, etc. Way too much in my head. Thanks for making it simple.

I have never hit the golf ball as pure and solid as I am since practicing this lesson. It has erased the tension and control of the golf club! Thank you!!

I've been playing golf for 35 year I am a 8 handicap I've had lesson from some great treachers this tip is unbelievable for me ,striking the ball the best ever!!!! Thank you!!!! Work countless hours on my back swing, this is so simple...Thank you I owe you guys lunch .

Cheers Guys, once again a great video that put me back on track now all I need is you to follow me around the course keeping me right!!! 😁🏌️‍♂️⛳

Really like the athletic takeaway and the Snead visual. Thanks guys.

Thanks guys! Really good stuff. Trying to get back into golf and stumbled across your channel in search of help on the swing plane. I could never figure out why I could swing the club better the less my right arm (culprit) was involved in the takeaway. Look forward to checking more content on your channel.

This is one of the best explanations of the take away I have seen. Thanks for the great information!!!

Watched the video last night and realized (hoped) that my flawed takeaway ( my misapplication of the “one piece” turn causing me to overturn early) was a fixable cause of my ball striking inconsistency. I spent about 15 minutes on the range trying to implement the change (Nick price drill) before playing 18. I’m happy to report that it really helped me! Despite feeling a lot of anxiety prior to each swing (my comfort level was low because I haven’t yet build any trust in the movement) I found that most of my shots were pretty good. I typically shoot low to mid 90’s (Boulders Resort, Scottsdale AZ- white tees 130 slope), I shot 86 after missing 3 short putts of 4’! I believe my ball striking and accuracy really improved because I fixed the takeaway. THANK YOU.

Can’t describe how much of an impact this one lesson had on my swing; thanks brothers! Got yourself a subscriber great vids

perfect explanation of a backswing that works for me after twenty yrs of doing it wrong, youre the only one ive seen on you tube doing it the way that gets good results, thanks alpt

MY Gawd! I feel like I've been repeatedly lied to all my golf life. I am in the driveway on hour 3, viewing and learning and putting in the work...trying to catch up. This all makes so much sense. Dynamic drills are the way I teach basketball and today is a new day a new way for ⛳ in my life. Thank u so much!

Do you have the link for the Amazon store that sells these ? Great tips !

The first drill encourages such a simple relaxed, effortless, tense free movement that is then encouraged and replicated in the downswing. As Shaun says it eliminates a wooden turn. It does reenforce the ‘keep it simple’ approach. Thanks for another great video guys

Love the way you present the lessions

I have added the motion drill as part of my pre-shot routine to get the "feels" going. Has really helped my distance and accuracy from tee to green. Good stuff!

thanks so much for the Price drill, guys. Really helps ya get on plane

Thank you, going to try it out today! So easy to understand, and it's crazy how far out my swing was. I was the over exaggerated head outside the hands, because of the layoff move..

You guys are the best teachers on youtube. It's a pleasure watching your content!

Thanks Shawn. Great video.

This is absolutely a game changer! I do the first drlll before every shot now and it just puts the club in such a perfect position for the rest of the backswing. So much easier also to feel the weight of the clubhead and make the downswing almost an afterthought (almost being the keyword :-)) Thank you!

Great video guys. Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge of the game.

Your videos have changed my game. Truthfully, they gave me a game. Thanks!

Love both of these drills, but the second one (move cub forward, right heel up) is REALLY helping. THANK YOU!

This vid was so helpful rhythm/tempo and solid grip. I took this to the range and I was hitting the ball extremely well and on target albeit a little short and sometimes a little long but it felt effortless.

Well explained guys, got to get the golf swing takeaway nailed as it sets us up for a better overall golf swing. This will definitely help us golfers out. Cheers

This dynamic take away move solved my static take away insistency issue. thanks !

I have been recently struggling terribly with my irons. This video helped me more than any video I've ever seen. After watching it over several times, I focused mainly on the part starting at minute 10:31 through 11:01. Just incorporating the information you illustrated in those 30 seconds helped me immensely to get my swing on the proper plane. After practicing the takeway move for awhile, I simply went to the takeaway position and then, leaving my arms pretty much passive, rotated just slightly to the top of my backswing and am now hitting my irons better than I have in a long time. I'm hitting the sweet spot much more often and getting better flight on my shots. It feels like I'm not even swinging hard and the ball goes flying. Now I'm just trying to get the full swing a little more fluid, instead of hesitating slightly at the initial takeaway position. I've watched tons of your videos, and you guys are great! The very next time out I shot one of my best scores. Thanks.

Hi guys. This wonderful instruction has for me made re-centreing more natural. Thank you so much from an avid practicer

This is the best instructional channel I've found. Thanks guys.

Love this lesson boys. Going outside right now. Thanks.

Thanks again for an extremely helpful video Superb!

Watched this 12 months ago and improved dramatically, recently had issues with over turning and over thinking when stood over the ball. Went back to this video and it explains very simply how to start off. The motion drill is superb for me. 🏌️‍♂️👍

Perfect and great video as always gents. Our challenge to you now: Can you get us from this wonderful smooth and rhythmic take-away to the top of the swing (in detail explaining how far back with check points along the way)? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

Can you guys be any more awesome 😊 Awesome explanations that make it easy for us amateurs to understand. Thank you 🙏

I never wrote to a site before. I have seen and used the Price drill , but never saw the motion drill. I is so good I think I will incorporate it into my pre-shot routine. Thanks for a great video for fluid motion.

Very informative and simple- well done!

Great video, cannot wait to get to the driving range!

OOOLLAAYYYY SHIIII, best contact of my life since I used these drills. Works amazing when you use them all in a session and switch up the speeds. Great job fellas. Thank you so much for this. I have been sooo confused about the take away…. Do I keep it shut and strong, do I do this, do I do that. But this is gold for some reason. Tytytytyty

I have been going to some top instructors for years for lessons and all they kept telling me is it is all about rotation. They had me rotation so much that my hips were killing me. Some days I hit the ball great and some days I had problems timing it. I watch a couple of videos from these instructor on taking the club away and it changed my game. I think these two guys are spot on. I have been going to the range and using their concepts and my game has turned around. I went from a 10 handicap to close to scratch.

You guys are the best in the business all your stuff is quality content 👌 from down under in Australia

im watching this having had 1st video in 6 yrs as Im striking it so well! what a shocker terrible closed, cramped inside takeaway with no body turn until club parallel! then got better and better! still shot 1 over today( tho not off comp tees yet) maybe this video will take me to the next level.

Dr. Kwon captures this idea beautifully with his step drills.

Not sure if you guys are still around, but I can't thank you enough. I have watched many golf videos in the hope of helping my game. I have watched this one and the one with the right hand wrist motion and then I spent hours in the net and did NOT his one shank, something I have been doing for years .. Thanks again ..

Fantastic video!!!!

I like how you break things down so easily!

Well done gentlemen, well done!

good info and discussion.

Awesome easy drill!

That second drill is key. The move helps to establish momentum which, if maintained, helps the weight at the end of the stick seek a straighter line if not interfered with. When I get working on things and become more static than I should be, this drill gets me back in track. Thanks for the reminder.

Hey guys just got back from trying out the tips on the takeaway. Wow made a huge improvement in my swing. Apparently I've been overturning at the outset, thinking one piece takeaway. Your suggestions here combined with the ones in rotating the hips correctly provide the basic recipe for a simple effective swing! Much appreciated.

Really like the Nick Price drill, would like to see you guys do from a face on view as well.

Wow 👏 perfect video guys.

This backswing video was very good

As a person that has pulled my takeaway inside forever and cannot fix it, I am glad to see some drills that will fix my takeaway. Thanks

Great info

So much takeaway information online that doesn't come close to what you're teaching here. So many people say to lock wrists and simply turn the trail shoulder back to the target. Been doing it this way for years, the low and slow drag keeping the club head as low to the ground for as long as I can. Works sometimes. Although when I do this my hands are way past my trail thigh when the club is parallel (level) to the ground. And probably causing me to sway my trail hip. Thanks for sharing.

I am an 8 handicap player and this take away has thoroughly satisfied my curiosity and plane for decades.

Great teachers, thank you for all the content! It seems like the knees are very quiet getting to parallel? Watching your foot pressure video I thought all the knee movement would be on parallel on the backswing with rendering happening as you complete the backswing from there.

After watching AMG videos and adopting "pro swing" technic to my swing, this 73 year-old is able to bomb drives and play solid iron shots with about 90% reliability. Thank you so much for sharing such in-depth knowledge. Wishing you all the best and much success.

Great videos

Pretty funny watching you guys get a laugh out of some of the wingy-dingy swings. I try not to look sometimes.

The Diamond and Silk of golf instruction! Great content and interaction!

great stuff

Where can I pick up one of those blue wedge cushions to aid takeaway and what is it called?

The best video for take away! Is this applicable for long irons as well?

Excellent drills for closed club face on takeaway also

My coach, Barry Fraser (back in the 1900's), studied teaching golf by watching Leadbetter work with Nicky when he (Nick) returned from the US Tour, a bit defeated with his crazy fast, steep, ground trenching swing. Leadbetter was studying the swing and was heavily into Hogan's 5 modern fundamentals. Leadbetter teaching Nick, and Hogan's paperback book, were the influencers of my coach, who never taught professionally in his life. He was well into his senior years when he saw me and said I had Nicky's old swing. I was teaching myself to be a golf pro, and was not doing very well. One of the things he taught me (including Hogan's fundamentals) was to trigger my knee to start my takeaway. You can't toss a bucket of water forward by swinging the bucket of water from a static start, so, just as you rock the bucket forward before swinging it back, you start the golf swing forward, and do so with the knee. It is very natural to me still, even after not having played in 2 decades and starting back again. Glad to see some of the old teachings hold up to high tech scrutiny. Everything else I do wrong these days but, you are giving me great direction.

The perfected drill, 😊 thanks !

Perhaps your best video EVAH. Thanks. Would it be reasonable to assume that when this flowing motion is achieved in DRILL #2 by replant of right heel that it would be almost natural to utilize that brisk momentum achieved in takeaway (and I can see how this briskness is so different than that low and slow concept ), to literally minimally "pull" that LEFT heel slightly off ground and thereby help prepare for an earlier replant and earlier pressure shift back to the left much earlier in downswing?

Very aligned with the concept of flow that’s taught by Dr Kwon. Very nice guys

Great video guys, thank you. That first few feet of takeaway is something that I'm constantly battling with, had a few minutes with the nick price drill and start to feel the position instantly. Would this also apply to driver?

Thumbs up! Good stuff

Start watching at 8:35.

Great video. Do you still have the link for the wedge/swing plane

Bros, at 19:19, this changed my golf swing almost immediately. Shared with my buddy and he’s killing it as well. We still have a lot of work to do, but this was meaningful. No one does golf instruction they way you two do. Real question is how do I get that AMG hat that Granato’s wearing?

Quality stuff as ever guys, wish you were based near to me! Did I also learn that top players start with everything open (chest/pelvis open to target) As such they mitigate the overturning issue? Hope that helps someone out there. thanks ! 👏👍

Gentlemen I have just come across some of your videos, in 1962 Casey Stengel was the manager of the Mets and he used to say that they were THE AMAZING METS , Gentle men you just took that award for simple golf instruction that will catapult you to to icons. You two have made every single move in the swing, well to put it simply take the club up and swing it down, AMAZING.

you are the best

Hi great video I tried doing this and it helped my inside takeaway but I still had a over swing what would cause this ? 👍🏼

I think the motion drill is extremely effective. I have been pulling the club more inside with a one-piece takeaway and this is making a difference. I actually see the club move on the shaft plane as I take the club back. Do you have any thoughts on creating more width in the takeaway? When I watch the video it does not appear to be much width as the club moves away. As I watch the best players their club head moves really far away from their body when getting to pocket/waist height.

I didn’t see the link to Amazon for the plain box

Great information for the avid golfer

Great Video! I must have watched it 50 times.

Love your videos guys. In regards to the takeaway it gets very confusing as you hear almost every instructor say not to roll or turn your wrists in the first move, in your video you talk about the lead hand rotating to start the swing. Would that not lead to more of a handsy takeaway?

Agreed as I saw Long drive champ Kyle bershire moving all the time b4 he pulled the trigger.

People don't talk about the waggle in Hogan's book anymore, but that seems to ingrain the proper feeling on the take away. Some people, like me, got it wrong by doing the waggle too soon and get the hands on the wrong plane. Seems to be a good combination with drill #2.

I had been fighting with my backswing all year, it was starting to get very controlled and slow. My ballstriking was in the toilet. Took this lesson to the range yesterday and after 3 balls I told my wife, "I'm fixed"! My "feel" is that once the club gets into the parallel position, just keep it feeling "light" to the top. That keeps it on plane. Thanks for returning athleticism to my swing.

A review of the swings of Adam Scott, Justin Rose, Cameron Champ and Rory Mcilroy all have the hands well outside the trail thigh at shaft parallel to the ground. In fact, even Luke Donald and Kevin Kisner have theirs well outside of the TT. I would say that one would be giving up power to have the hands still in front of the trail thigh at that point if one has the potential of a reasonably large turn at one's disposal.

Thanks for these drills! Does it matter how you accomplish the pronation at 7:20? I mean you can use upper arm rotation or fore arm rotation to accomplish that move.

Jimmy Ballard used to say just keep the arms lightly on the outside of the rib cage and rotate and stay connected.

You are Gods among Men. I now use your channel for all of my swing training, unfortunately I haven't broken 90 soooo, if you could do a vid on the mental side of prepping for a round.

I needed this lesson so badly - thanks gents When you start from a static position how do you recommend your students get that athletic motion going to start the swing?

It would be interesting to meld drills one and two.....with the left arm under the right, with the sudden stop, then a grip onto the club with the right hand and then the forward swing....possible? The second drill with the quicker back swing sudden stop forces the body to brace in the proper manner to halt the backward momentum. Excellent!! Watson (Tom not Bubba) said keep the club face square to the path (on the ball) on the backswing....this would put the face roughly on the spine angle....right at the limits of what you suggest but still within parameters....correct?

Mike and Shaun, my arms are inordinately short; generally 5" - 6" farther from the ground than almost all other guys. Should I be initiating more arm swing in the Nick Price takeaway drill than other male players? I certainly don't want to overthink this drill as it has helped immensely.

Superb instruction. Two alternate instructions tips seen on KZfaq 1. Extend right arm away from chest during takeaway; in you drill it stays pretty static and close to chest 2. Hands move in as club moves outside hands- hands come very close to brushing right thigh; in your drill hands are same distance from body as in setup- did not yet move inward. Would enjoy your opinion on these thoughts since it is confusing to hear relatively big differences in technique.
