SIMPLE DRILL to the perfect golf takeaway 👍

[@peterfinchgolf]

Hey all 👋 just wanted to say a big thank for for sharing your time with me. Drop a like on the video and let me know what coaching videos you’d like to see next

[@davidbowe9999]

Love to see a drill on fixing a early release. I've been playing for a long time and when we were taught is was all about releasing the hands at impact. But I now see more players are less about the hands and more about creating speed with rotation. Thanks!

[@zachsimsphoto5344]

For me it is the wrist action after the take away and final bend. I can't seem to find a neutral position to promote consistent downswing.

[@stfunub646]

How to get feel or tempo going? Swing feels good somedays - in sync, smooth, play well - some days, feels dead, jerky ,- play poor

[@celtic_spirit]

Always had problems unloading through the ball for max speed and compression..🤷🏼‍♂️🏌️‍♂️

[@sheedy9]

Just what I needed 💪

[@teazy12]

How about a breakdown of the next step, transition from backswing through the downswing

[@andrewshimmingolfandkungfu319]

I think that’s on the way judging by his intro :)

[@markseilo9759]

One year later

[@amichaels-v3]

I appreciate the fact this tutorial was "short and sweet" and I love the way you focused 95% of your efforts on what TO DO instead of waterboarding us with 15 minutes of what NOT TO DO! Great video.

[@paulanthony6763]

This is a really great drill. Thanks Pete for helping us all play this terrible game a little better.

[@christopheranderson1700]

The transition!!! I'm frequently guilty of not starting rotation early enough and hitting awesome shanks to the right.

[@johndquintano6984]

One piece takeaway, without wrist break too soon. One of the first things I learned, was helpful. Great reminder. Thnx

[@query1527]

What a great video, short, clear and simple. What KZbin was made for.

[@davidmccutcheon1903]

Great drill - I took my first golf lesson on years last Saturday and we were working on this as I had the club open to path on the way back.

[@wjf1967]

So simple, but just what I needed. Thank you Peter.

[@KrisTaylor303]

Came from the Insta live! Love the vid Pete! I like the instructional videos as it allows me to make sure I’m doing my swing right

[@tommiethatcher7265]

I would love to see a video on the transition from backswing into the downswing please

[@TheCassiopeia1980]

Nice drill

[@jannesep]

I'm struggling with open club face at impact. Would be great to see tips for that in the future.

[@Betheball1966]

Wrist angles

[@paulc6237]

Your delivery,communication is on point ,always nice and simple. Big talking point at moment is ground forces,don’t think your average golfer,can quite understand,that includes me.might be a topic to cover.swing looks good as always

[@iainlevett948]

Thanks for this Pete! I often struggle with the club way behind so hopefully this drill should help

[@alexandervillani2801]

Good video Pete! I’d like to see you make a video on the transition at the top of the backswing, to beginning the downswing. I was pulling my iron shots yesterday on the course and I think it’s an issue in the transition. Thanks for the help.

[@kennedygolfhead4356]

I just watched some of the videos from a year ago. It's amazing how much he has built his muscles. Look at his arms!!

[@davidbowe9999]

Great drill! Worked on that all lockfown it really helps to keep the club face square.

[@davidtownsend3582]

Great video Pete the take away is super important. 👍

[@The_sunday_lout]

Get drill Pete, will be using this for the next few weeks as I been struggling to get the club in a good position on the way back.

[@jamesingram23]

Great video and easy to follow. I've seen a fair few on takeaway but rarely see one on the next part and the transition to downswing?

[@sevesellors2831]

Great lesson Peter will try this drill many thanks!

[@LEGage]

Thank you very much. Had a frustrating day, all due to my take away was all over the road. When I got set right all systems were go, but that only happened by accident. Thank you.

[@tonywoodssnr1400]

Great Learning lesson Mr Finch, good drills, I do struggle with first part of takeaway, will be practising these drills

[@goatwaterman4740]

Great drill and super simple. Hope u cover on impact and how to compress the ball in a video

[@corystegen9748]

Love to see something on the transition/start of downswing.

[@johnsappington934]

I would like to see a video on pre shot routine, how to be consistent, how to line up driver and irons.

[@m.g.1089]

I actually do this drill essentially as my pre swing routine. Line up, check my back swing position, feel the weight of the club, and fire. Helped me load the shaft better and my rhythm is much more fluid. Gained some subtle distance of 5 yards or so. My tendency is to pull the club shallow in my back swing. Great drill for consistency. Cheers pete.

[@jamesbowling4097]

Great video. Would like to see the transition to the downswing and tips to shallow the club.

[@sammindlin2132]

Love to see a video on the start of the downswing. Cheers!

[@DavidGonzalez-so1eb]

Dear Pete! I've been enjoying the video and appreciate your suggestion to spit out on something we could be struggling on. I've been following you and Rick for a couple of years and I really like the finish of your swing, specially arms and hands wise. 😉😉 With this been said, I would like to ask you about last bit after the "follow through" At the end of the swing. Thanks a lot 🙏🙏

[@stevebarker3836]

Some good reminders there Pete as it is something I have been working on after the lockdown layoff👍🏼

[@connorrake269]

This is literally the issue someone said I needed to work on after playing golf this afternoon! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@cortott6105]

I would love to see a video on starting the downswing with the hip and drills to help with that

[@cdh79]

Thanks for that insight Pete.. I know it may be simple, but I'm interested in the wrists during the golf swing.. specifically where they should be pointing to and how "loose" they should be (i.e. to create lag in the downswing).. there seems to be a lot of varying information out there on this.

[@ShinyChamelion]

Thanks for this. My last driving range session, the irons felt right, but watching back on what I recorded, I saw I was coming over the top. Don't know how it got in there but it helped me identify many a problem

[@mikekroboth8781]

Love the channel. Been working on my takeaway since getting to the range for the first time this season. Went from too shallow to very steep because I found mistakes were minimized with a steeper takeaway. Love these drills. When I am at university the driving range is quite far so I do a lot of drills in my apartment. If you could do more of these drills that are easy to do without hitting the ball that would be amazing! Thanks for all of the high quality content!

[@jeffsimic852]

Any videos on how to better hit fairway woods off the deck would be super helpful. Or longer clubs in general. I'm fine with my short to mid irons and have been steadily ridding myself of the slice I started with (started playing golf 12 months ago). But I struggle big time with hybrids/woods. Thanks!

[@travissather8870]

Thanks for the drill Pete!! As for issues with my game, I'd have to say wedge game is weak. It seems the shorter the club the more issues I havd

[@nicholasheyland5837]

I'd love to hear your tips on how to flight your wedges on full and pitch shots.

[@paulb4259]

I struggle at times with keeping a comfortable and consistent grip. Great video today, thank you.

[@LittleBU96]

Can you do a video about how to compress the right knee mine when I take the backswing always goes straight

[@neillhobson4584]

Awesome drill, getting my alignment sticks tomorrow 😂 old school until now 😜

[@jackoconnor8486]

Really good timing for this to be uploaded, I am working on something similar with my instructor! This is very helpful for when I’m practicing on my own at the range

[@auntielolo2023]

Just FYI everyone...I spent a year addressing my takeaway....I was going WAY inside and needed to change it. Give yourself the time to get used to the changes. It will take a while, but it will be worth it, especially if you've had that habit for a while.

[@drew20238]

Hi Peter - I love these instructional videos you make. You explain it so well! Looking forward to you explaining how you hold the squat in the downswing.

[@ST-xg3gy]

Great lesson! Instant impact improvement.

[@tyrantrex734]

Outstanding video as always. Great drill!

[@DJsensesBeTinglin]

This was what I needed to hear again literally sorted my head right out! 😂 been overthinking my downswing thing my issues are there putting some thought back into my takeaway and alignment has me striping it again

[@indieraver1988]

Great drill Pete! Keep up the good work! This is a problem area for me as of late. As you described I do become too steep in the follow through. I suspect it is an inherent problem from the takeaway as I take it too wide, outside my desired path. Can this drill be used on all clubs in the bag? Driver is of particular interest for me, again steep follow through, any tips to shallowing the path back to the ball.

[@tobykramer3446]

Hey Pete....Keep up the good work....my issue is that I tend to hit the ball a bit "toe-y" with my irons...any specific drill or cheat code a guy can use to hit it more out the middle? Thanks!

[@chrisbarton8992]

Hi Peter - another great video. You keep things really simple, which helps my brain. Would love to see a video about maintaining width / creating lag; and or one about flighting your irons.

[@drtharpe]

The transition from the top of the backswing. What is an effective trigger to start the downswing?

[@mrmackey5088]

Hi Peter, Need some help hitting a golf shot to an elevated green. Losing shots big time from 15 to 25 yards. Keep up the good vids! 🌻

[@hakansamuelsson9440]

Great drill that really works

[@danjeory3659]

I tried changing my normal takeaway last week but it was awful so I went back to Wok&Go down the road. I love the Chicken Katsu box.

[@richs2290]

Great lesson thanks you make it easy to understand 👌😀

[@jamesvivash1272]

I know it's been covered lots, but if you have advice on preventing huge slices off the driver, that would be ideal. Great vid, thanks for the help!

[@jimmiehoward3370]

Great drill can you do the back swing back to impact

[@CT-vk6cj]

Thanks Peter. I would say I'm in desperate need of help with my bunker game. Thanks!

[@matp1102]

Definitely keen to try this one out... I've already found that my swing overall is much better, and more consistent, when I focus on my takeaway and backswing... Trouble is that I inevitably end up with too much going on and can forget to keep an eye on the backswing, next thing the whole shot has gone pear shaped!!

[@atxrich]

The alignment stick drill is also useful in getting a proper rotation through the ball by clearing the hips and preventing your hands from flipping.

[@Michael-Boston-23]

What would you recommend for doing the two camera set up. I'd like to use it that way with say the laptop in front so I can see instead of having to step out of position and hitting play. FYI no mirrors at my range lol thanks Pete

[@grahamwhiteley334]

Hi Pete any drills on the dreaded early extension would be helpful. Cheers

[@randynorwood4566]

Great drill! Downswing; I’m fighting coming over the top. Sometimes feel like I’m slapping at the ball.

[@DaveyDubStep]

Hi Pete! hope you are well, as you were saying about "What other parts of the swing would we like to see you cover next?", not so much a swing video per say, but I'm newish to golf and still have no idea about my yardages, I'm a simple bloke and just want to know rough yardages for my clubs, is there a way we can do this out on the range and on the course without paying for a PGA Pro to get our yardages put down for us? love the content matey, have a great day! stay happy!

[@GolfingMalky]

The take-away was my Achilles Heel for some time; thankfully I got a great lesson from my local pro to help. I will however add in the use of the alignment stick into my practice sessions. Cheers

[@nickolasmagos219]

Nice video. I think I am going to increase the swing weight on my clubs to get a better feel of them and put them on the correct swing plane. The short irons are ok, but the mid and long irons feel like feathers. I bought my mizuno mp-33 set used so didn't get fitted.

[@gordonwinstanley2006]

Hi peter does the downswing just follow the same path on the way down or is there other adjustments .great vid very helpfull cheers 👍

[@matts163]

Very useful Peter thank you. I’ve been having an issue with two parts of the swing recently. The take away and the wrist set. Take away issue has been more a case of turning with arms only and that means disaster from then on! With wrist set it almost seems like I’m holding on too late trying to create the biggest arc and then.....disaster off the tee. Why does my practice swing seem fine and then the real thing seems a disaster...

[@jamessayers5903]

Good tip there Pete. Something I'd like to see you cover is how to get more consistent contact on long putts

[@raymonddoherty6213]

Transition wrecks my head

[@milesotway4466]

Tempo drills and triggers for the golf swing. When tempo is good I hit really quite well, when it's off the thins and duffs take over.

[@philipdunn300]

Hi Pete This is fantastic tip and has made me wonder if my set up has my hands too much in the middle with not enough shaft angle. Is there a tip for that? All best, Phil

[@93DJDrian73]

And thank you for this. This is amazingly helpful

[@Zengolfer904]

Thanks for another great video! I would like more info in a video on what the lower body should be doing during the golf swing. For example: How far should my back knee bend on the backswing or what role does my left leg play in down swing. Cheers!

[@TheThunderwesel]

Would love a video on setup like grip, stance, etc

[@craigjones983]

Hi Pete. Struggle on getting a strong impact position. I get a bit flippy and dont compress the ball enough

[@gbc7344]

Nice one Pete..will try that ..cheers👍⛳️😉🇬🇧

[@elliot3571]

Can we see a coaching video on finishing the swing, after hitting the ball to extension! Thanks!

[@systemoad81]

The downswing and hip movement I think would be really helpful

[@kimwieslaw8339]

Fantastic drill thanks 🇦🇺

[@danceparty8581]

When you post the down swing video it would really be helpful if you talk about how to have your wrist set when coming down at the trailing leg. I also struggle with having a great practice swing ( fast or slow) but then when I step up to the ball I completely change my swing. Hope you can help. Thank you!

[@jackcreeber1511]

Peter, the bunkers on my course are often short of sand or the sand is set hard. Do you have any suggestions as to how best to play these conditions. Many thanks Jack

[@pkman9377]

does this takeaway apply for partial shots, hybrids/woods and driver swings? I would love a follow up, as others have suggested, for transtition and finally at impact.

[@mgibuk]

I have a push with my irons. I hit the ball straight so it's not a slice and I strike the ball well (maybe a tiny bit thick) but it often goes right. I would love to see a video on how to fix that because I've not seen much out there on the topic.

[@christopheralm6838]

Love it, been missing these kind of vids :) Any of the mentioned below "next tip"-video will do as i have a feeling most of us needs them all :D

[@rollo316]

I've tried this drill from one of yiur previous videos and from meandmygolf. I think my back swing is OK. It's the follow through swing I struggle with. I've noticed I tend to lean more on right instead of my left. Any tips or drills to work on this part of my swing ?? And any swing tips for using my wedges ?

[@deviusfeilds]

How to hinge the wrists. Is it in line with the swing plain or is it perpendicular to the sternum?

[@richm3834]

Hi Pete, What's your thoughts on encouraging an 'extension' in the takeaway? Will that not create a wider ark and generate more club head speed? If the arms remain close to the body a hinging type movement occurs and usually a steep angle of attack or chop? I'd be keen to learn your thoughts. Cheers

[@mattwilliford1862]

My takeback has always been inconsistent, as well as my scoring, so i actually added this half takeback into my pre-shot routine last week just to feel that I’m holding that triangle and keepin my leading edge consistent. Paying off already with a personal low round at a course I play regularly and handicap went down a full stroke.

[@benjaminhawker1736]

Would love a video about the difference between an iron swing and a driver/3 wood swing, or just how the swing changes as the club gets longer. Thanks!

[@carlowens4106]

Never tried it but will give it a go is this the same technique for hitting a shot with 52 and 56 wedge a distance around 100 yards this used to be a shot i was confident with but ever since golf re opened and trying this shot I am either thinning the ball into the ground or its going straight of to the right

[@TomTomChucky]

Sooooo smooth!

[@jackvicq]

Love the videos. It would be great to see a video on how to get to ideal P6(neutral+draw+cut)

[@LuisAMenzes]

Hey pete, thought this one would be pretty interesting, I play off a 7 handicap, I hit the ball okay but I can never seem to shorten my backswing and increase my turn at the same time. The club always looks over parallel no matter if I get my left shoulder under my chin on the backswing. Thought that would be an interesting question answered :)

[@neiljohnfaulkner]

Great video. more like this please. The one thing I have a problem with is believing that these slow moves work in the swing thats hits the ball

[@dennis7800]

Hey Peter :-) Could you make a video of where the bodyweight should be doing the downswing? My problem is that i'm moving my upper body too much in front of the ball during the downswing. I have been told that my weight should be on my left foot, but my upperbody behind the ball. Do you have a drill or a mindset for that??? Love your videos btw (sorry about the spelling, english is not my native language) Best regards Dennis

[@bencabrera9125]

Great video!! Im still struggling with the Driver Ping 410. Can you do a Driver video just like this??

[@chelseaant1]

I’m really struggling with my takeaway at the min. It’s causing me issues. I’ll give this a go. Many thanks
