I am 76 and have been golfing since I was 12. This is the best takeaway lesson and drill I have ever seen. I can’t wait to try it.

Another tip i learned was to pretend you are rolling a ball straight backward with the rear of the club head.

[@duanemartin1383]

Great video with a great example of what alignment sticks can do as a training aid. One thing tho and I often do not see it covered which is the importance of to much or to little fore arm rotation in the takeaway. I use this drill often because I tend to rotate my right fore arm to much causing an open club face. The sticks help greatly in getting a visual clue of keeping the toe slightly closed in this drill. Keep up the good work.

[@tonymiddlehurst8438]

After five years wondering what had happened to my game I finally went for a lesson a month ago. After the first warmup swing he told me I was taking it back way on the inside. I had no idea. Once that was corrected I was back to playing how I used to in the good old days. Last week I beat 39 other guys in an end of season event. Kicking myself I didn't get this corrected sooner.

[@cyberbogart]

This is actually the question running in my head for weeks now, this video explains everything. Thank you. The way you explained things, the way you told us what we are doing wrong. Damn, this was exactly the information i was looking for.

[@miguellop1972]

Great lesson!! I will practice today.

[@robdiggeden2258]

Exactly what I need. Saw a Gary Player tip “take the club straight back” (but never detailed how to get there) and it made a huge difference just focusing on that but this demo explains how to get there.

Really glad you showed results of ball flight while being off plane. Will definitely work on this drill and hopefully will correct my ball flight. Great video!

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Thanks for watching

[@TheWedgeWizard]

If you really want a solid understanding of ball flights and how different paths and face angles effect them learn “the new laws of ball flight” which are the basic physics of the game. It’s amazing how many golfers don’t know them and just blindly try to hit different swing positions without really understanding why these positions are crucial.

[@guillermoalejandro3045]

Great lesson. Ty so much.

[@ArnieTX]

I take my club too far inside on my backswing. This is great instruction. I have no room to flatten it out coming down and most of the time I’m coming over it causing a pull. It’s very inconsistent. I’m gonna fix this once and for all through sheer repetition. I’m sub’d now. Good job and thank you

Great info, thank you

[@scottkintzing2514]

Love the video and will try this drill out today, but have a question or two. 1. Will I need a different alignment rod placement and thus a different take away for each club or are the alignment rods spaced such that one set up is good for most or all clubs? 2. I have a bad habit of an over the top swing with a square face to path, thus shots headlining off the fairway left but on a straight path. (Right hand golfer) will this drill help that or am I doing something wrong at the top / start of my down swing? Im hoping that the proper take away will put me in a better position for the down swing. I do try to visualize keeping my back to the target as long as I can in the down swing but wonder if I am letting my arms drop or if I spin around my spine, thus over the top. Do you have a drill / explanation of the down swing move? Sorry for the long question. Thank you for providing helping a frustrated golfer. Scott

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Hi Scott. For different clubs the sticks are still put in the same spot but make sure they are at the same angle as the club sits at address. Regarding ur other issues, the honest truth is you should see a coach. This is purely a takeaway video. The other stuff u have going on should be worked on with a professional perhaps.

[@al1356]

So Ryan I’m a single handicap golfer been playing solid for 7 years but my swing was inconsistent. I can score 75 one day and 95 the next and always wondered why. I have been looking for the solution and root cause for years. Watched this video and now I feel for the first time ever that I have a repeatable swing. Thank you for posting this 👍

@@ryanmouquegolf Maybe so. But for most men, visual demonstration is best. We (I) emulate or learn better by watching someone do it. In other words...talk less show more. This video of yours, is a good example...it captured that elements I'm talking about. It's engaging, by this I mean, you are talking and showing/demonstrating at the same time. What's disengaging is when an instructor talk for a long time and then in the last minute, quickly show it. This is not very engaging, let alone helpful, that's all. Thanks

What happens after you’ve done some vertical hinge and shoulder turn and have the club at your spine angle? Do you have a video on how to transition up to the backswing from that position specifically?

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Just turn mate. Dont overthink it

[@eagleman1218]

On the downswing should the club come back down thru the alignment sticks or below the one that’s closer to the body ?

[@ryanmouquegolf]

In this case, through them.

Wondering how far back behind the club on the ground do you place those alignment sticks. You showed 1/2 foot on each side but how far back behind the club on the ground

[@ryanmouquegolf]

I think I said it in the vid but if not, 1 club length. Lay the club down behind the ball.

[@DillonMcAuliffe]

I find it much easier to have a deep inside take away, lift, then make an over the top move, similar to Sam snead. Much easier on the body, and creates so much more leverage.

the golf illusion, make it easy

[@the_full_english]

Since a kid I always rolled the club inside then got across the line at the top. For years I’ve worked on getting it back like this which I can do, I now get to a good halfway back position, but I still get across the line once at the top and it causes me to come way from the inside with hooks/blocks on a bad day. How can I stop getting it across the line? 🙏

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Without seeing WHY you get across the line I’d be guessing mate. Perhaps a lesson to work on ur own personal tendencies?

[@the_full_english]

@@ryanmouquegolf yes defo some lessons needed. I play off 9 but haven’t had one for over 10 years and I know I should be shooting lower but when one of the nasty hooks/blocks shows up it’s a card wrecker!

I'm Jack since 28 started golfing, but until now still don't know how to turn out my left shoulder..... To get the better swing yet.... Please..... 🙏

Drill seems like it works and it will if you practice it but what matters is how you bring the club down

[@user-nm9sr3hc3n]

動画勉強になります。 ただ、切り返しの際にグリップからクラブが立って降りてくるように見えます。 球筋に影響がないとしても、自分もそのような見え方のスイングなので、改善方法が知りたいです。

[@Helpmeasinner]

Funny, there are pros who take the club away all three ways, below, above or on the line, yet their down swings pretty much look the same that split second Before impact.

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Most definitely

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Not too many recreational golfer do though 🙂

[@RomanEmpire16]

Why don't you just move up some and swing instead of taking off the alignment sticks that would probably be easier anytime you want to practice the takeaway again move back into the alignment sticks , great video btw!! Funny 😁

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Yeah, I advice players have a “drill station” and a hitting station. Pretty much as u said there or next to them

[@mikeym4597]

Ryan's bad shots are the equivalent of my best shots...

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Damn 😂

[@matthoward123]

Without incorporating the cupping of the right wrist/bowing of the left your club face is going to be open. You can see in the rehearsal 11:28 you're almost vertical whereas every good player is going to have that face at more of the 1 o'clock position. You actually do this in your real swing but important to call out if you're drilling just the takeaway.

[@ryanmouquegolf]

U can have a cupped lead wrist at P2 and not have the face open IF your grip is strong enough.

[@ignacioewert7458]

45 degrees

[@dry509]

My issue is how to get from P2 to the top? I don’t know hours to do that. No one seems to be sure that?

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Keep turning and allow the club to load upwards. If that’s hard for u to do, it could be something else stopping u. I don’t know what but would easily be worked on during a personalised lesson

[@Supermoneygang12]

You definitely aren’t hinging the club correctly

Great tips; almost perfect if your swing could of manipulated what you were trying to make us do.

[@ryanmouquegolf]

You expect me to be able to replicate every different movement of the golf swing every single time do you? Matt Wolff one day, Adam Scott the next… geez

[@davidkim3595]

I don't expect you to replicate every different movement however at least don't suck at it like your swing lol did I hurt your small feeling like your crap swing? By all mean your teaching tips were fantastic and I wasn't here to upset you lil boy but may be have a coffee break and work on your temper and maybe your swing too while at it hahahahaha

[@mesillahills]

Newsflash.. You are turning with your knees. Touring pros turn away with their bodies. and body angle determines swing path. You need to get control of your knees before running your mouth and your camera. BTW - That is called "connected". Arms, hands, and shoulders only go along for the ride. Nicklaus called this the most important move in the swing. It is why the first 4 inches of take-away are so critical. Body, not knees. The swing tightens up a bit and this results in more power as well. Swings today are getting shorter, not longer from loose knees.

[@ryanmouquegolf]

Thanks for taking the time to watch the video AND comment. Appreciate it 🙂

[@ThunderBunny572]

You sound like a fun guy to be around.

[@AmmoDude]

Hands moving away from the body during takeaway works pretty good for Couples and Furik.....Just saying.....Humans are not machines; everyone's body moves differently. Impact is the most important part of the golf swing. Every pro has learned to make adjustments coming into impact to be successful, regardless of takeaway.

It’s not negative alt all. I’m teaching golfers what the most common movements of the takeaway produces so that when your on your own at the range you can identify what movement you’re creating. If you think all you need is the “how to fix” then you’re probably not very good at this game. Go on IG and watch 30 sec reels of positivity if that what you’re wanting.
