This Will Solve Your Inside Takeaway For Good!

[@fradaja]

Never seen the alignment stick drill , love it

[@jeffkonves1428]

This is the best explanation of how to properly take the club back, and what the correct feels are, that I have ever seen and I've been swinging a club for over 4 decades. I'm guilty of what you described in the inside takeaway moves and it has really messed up my swing. I am now focused on the takeaway as you outline here and it is a game changer. Thanks for the clear and clean explanation of this way too overlooked element of the golf swing.

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Not a problem at all Jeff. My pleasure 👊🏼

[@CarlKuzmich]

Ryan, I am so happy that I came across your site. The manner in which you explain the problem is clear, concise and quite helpful. Your remedies are spot on, at least they are working for me :-) It is pure “gold”! I can’t wait to see more of you clear and thoughtful lessons.

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Cheers Carl

[@johnwoods8671]

Great video & drill has really improved my takeaway. Getting much improved ball flight from the wrist hinge! Thanks Ryan 👍

[@CarlKuzmich]

Thanks!

[@MrRichfarrell]

Awesome explanation

[@pbode1]

That diagonal stick is a good one. thanks! I'm very much working on this, I am/was the default inside takeaway under plane, hinge very late, and then squeezing it on the same shallow plane back in to out with a lot of toe flip timing required to square the face, losing distance too because I needed to stall my lower half halfway the downswing. duck hooks as a favorite miss. what works perfect for me is a drill where I push down with the left hard and and apply a very early wrist set that way. The hard press on the handle (pivoting on my right hand) propels the club up so fast that I simply don't have time to take it back inside 🙂. The only real focus point is to keep the handle pointing left of target until shaft parallel. Not only does that cure my hook, but also compresses the ball better, don't even need a long backswing either.

[@martinbull2369]

Absolutely brilliant video!! Is it the same with Driver too? Or just irons?

[@johnroh6603]

Excellent instruction. I have applied your instructions to my swing and my dreaded hook is no more. My drives are mostly strait or slight fade. Thanks to you.

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Great to hear mate 👊🏼 Want my account details? 😉😜

[@chrisl1637]

Love the assistance with the alignment sticks. You see so many people show this same thing, but don't explain how to setup the sticks. Do you have a similar drill to make sure you are swinging from the inside and not coming down too steep?

[@ryanmouquegolf]

@@chrisl1637 video is coming 👊🏼

[@Kenny-nb4nh]

A most excellent video, this is what I struggle with, I'm from the inside but don't go over the top, I've the tennis top spin type swing which I hate, hook hook hook. Thx for sharing your knowledge 👍

[@ST-xg3gy]

Very well explained. Went to the range after this and was striping them. 👍

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Thank you… and nice job 👊🏼

[@themaven1276]

Quick question. How do you keep a flat lead wrist when doing this? I feel like I cup my lead wrist when I think about hinging vertically while blending it with the shoulder turn

[@nathanbreytenbach5309]

Hi @Ryan with the alignment stick set up at the let say 45 degree angle, can one use it for the takeaway but then continue to make a full swing and hit the ball without the alignment stick impeding your swing?

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Yes

[@johngilhooley8764]

Great video thanks Ryan . From P2 to the top is it just a continuation of the turn ?

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Yes sir

[@jeffreysparbeck7725]

Is the wrist hinge done on a straight up and down vertical line or is it hinged slightly toward your right shoulder? Can you kindly clarify?

[@ryanmouquegolf]

@@jeffreysparbeck7725 you want SOME straight up and down and some bed back of the trail wrist. If you combine those, you’ll be pretty good

[@jeffreysparbeck7725]

@@ryanmouquegolf thanks for the quick response! I believe I understand what you’re looking for which would be some slightly hinge motion towards the right shoulder as you hinge up

[@ryanmouquegolf]

@@jeffreysparbeck7725 yeah correct. I’ve never really thought of it that way but in theory yes. Not a direct hinge up toward your nose, but also not a bend back of the trail wrist that has the club work too far inside the hands and around ur backside.

[@oewilliam]

good stuff, fix my takeaway problem, hinge not enough

[@johnsheehan6484]

Hi, does the start of the takeaway go slightly in with your natural arc or should it go straight back? Thanks

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Slightly in mate. Straight back would technically be outside. The swing works on an arc so it will need to work in just a touch

[@johnsheehan6484]

@@ryanmouquegolf brilliant, thanks for the reply!

[@v205]

Does the vertical wrist hinge / cocking only happen from p1 to p2?

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Depends on the player but some can feel from P1-2-3

[@Chris_Traynor]

Hey Ryan. Thanks this has really helped me take it inside less. I was just wondering if you had any advice for players who have been inside takeaway with a shut clubface and achieved the proper takeaway now but therefore are struggling because none of their previous transition and downswing feels are applicable anymore? E.g., when I had an excessively closed clubface and inside takeaway I could feel the weight of the club (because it was crazy-flat at the top). Now that I've improved the takeaway the swing feels so vertical that the sensation feels like a bunker shot. Now I struggle to sense the difference between a flushed shot and a heely/spinny/shanky one., i.e., both swings feel the same but it is now difficult to differentiate between open/ closed/ square face. Not sure if that makes sense. I am now getting good height and spin with a minor loss in distance but have no sense of where the face is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Due to my difficulties I've gone up from a 5hcp to a 9.

[@ryanmouquegolf]

I’d suggest getting some personalised help, mate. It would be impossible for me to guess what you need without seeing your swing.

[@Chris_Traynor]

Cheers for the candid advice. Got a lesson coming up. Really enjoyed the video.👍🏻

[@markwillard1321]

I struggle with a draw and hoping this will cure it. I thought you should start cocking the wrist after the takeaway.

[@keithhowes5692]

I’ve struggled with this for a while now also. Had no idea on the wrist hinge. This advice took roughly 5 shots off my handicap.

[@terryrinkol8175]

From parallel to the top are you continuing to cock your wrist?

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Gradually yes

[@gnr1269gnrosario]

Dumb question. I'm assuming you turn around your spine. Is there a guideline to do this? I feel like I can easily do this on different planes.

[@iandavidson1]

the twirl 😇

[@benbowman4590]

I bring it inside, and then hit a draw that has turned more into a hook. Starts straight then turns

[@pokerrich9]

Doesn’t make me any better doing this 🤣🤣🤣

Or go buy a lesson and get “the fix” yourself. Or you want free? If you don’t wana pay then you can sit through my 11:35 video.

[@danarcotta1283]

😂😂 my pro just showed me this today. I could be in the middle of the fairway with 115 into the green and pull it left. Rely on a good chip, which I can often do ,then make a Must par putt. I could be looking at birdie more often or a very comfortable 2 putt par.. I've got a practice day tomorrow for my Tuesday league tournament. Good advice, thanks.

[@mkwy8782]

Not a good clip. You make this much more complicated than it needs to be.
