3 Simple Tips to Fix Your Golf Swing Takeaway (Very Easy) 

A video that discuss weight transfer and utilizing the takeaway with other parts of the swing would help me a lot. I believe I over think this part of the swing and I end up swinging very awkward. I either focus on the hands and club face and then get to handsy or i focus to much on lower body and end up feeling very weird with my hips/ knees. Great work and thanks for all the good content!

With all of the other issues I have had with the golf swing over the years, getting this sorted out has been a game changer - it has naturally fixed so many other issues I had, by starting the swing correctly with these simple thoughts and actions. Thanks so much Grant!!!

I would love a video showcasing several different practice drills for a range session or at home, that allow a person to go through the whole bag

As someone that used to struggle with a slice, I started using the "low, slow, and to the top" swing thought which along with a stronger grip changed my swing path to in-to out and now I play a draw and hit the ball so much farther. Great video!

Such a good teach! 🔥

You should do one on preventing early extension. Being tall I suffer a lot from it

Thanks for all you do for your subscribers. I really enjoy how you break the swing down into something that can be seen and understood. Many teachers use terms they expect everyone to already know but you show us what the term actually mean. Thanks again

Keep these coming Grant. They're awesome. Need a video on ball then turf contact.

Thank you Grant for a great lesson. I went to my home course today and played nine holes. Usually I shoot around 42or43 after nine. Today I shot 38. Your the best

Grant, your explanations are so clear and precise, love it! Can you do a video explaining the concept of the backswing AFTER the takeaway? I have a nice takeaway thanks to videos like yours, but then I still find myself lifting up my arms or swinging too far 'up and inside' on the backswingl

Hey Grant! I’m a junior golfer and love your teaching channel. It’s helped me SO much!

This has helped me so much! This is so simplified and to the point. Thanks Grant.

Keeping it easy to understand. Thanks Grant.

Love your instruction! Would love a very detailed setup video. Ball position, alignment, posture, spine tilt, just nerd all the way out!

A video that describes how the hands and wrists work in the whole swing, specifically in transition to delivery position to impact.

The video is right on-point! I've found that if I hover the club behind the ball, my first move is always straight back and not inside...it helps me from coming over the top. Great video, Grant.

Great video Grant , that’s something I’ve done with my coach all winter, would love to see one on the downswing similar to how you’ve presented this one 👍

I have watched you from the Good Good era. You are wonderful teacher. Peter Finch and you have the skill to explain things clearly.

Can't wait to try these tips out. I'm new and building a golf swing, lol, my husband just started up golfing again after quite a few years. He has helped so much with the basics and your videos are helping both of us with consistency! Thanks! For me, I love the driver which apparently I am good at, and I like putting, but both Irons and wedges are my Achilles heel. I keep either hitting the ground and its jarring through my arms or missing the ball 😂 Balance seems to be rough for me. Any tips for that would be awesome! 😊

I’m going to use these steps from now on. I’m a new golfer and slice, and it definitely comes from me drawing the club back too far inside then coming over the top to compensate.

Thanks this has really helped

I’m off +4 and this has really helped me get going this season 👊🏼

id like to see a video on how to align properly i always struggle with aligment. also following thru lower to the body i always finish so high up

Grant I just had a lesson and the coach told me my tempo was inconsistent and this solved many of my swing issues that I thought were something else. It's amazing how important tempo is.

wow needed this!! Been struggling with the idea of the clubhead starting outside the hands. I'm shooting 68 tomorrow now!! Thanks Grant...see next...drill to always keep the hands ahead of the club at impact...I struggle with stopping my hands at the ball and flipping.

I appreciate your simple techniques: low and slow!

Can you breakdown your full backswing? How do you get to the top? What are your cues after the take away?

The other thing I'd love to see a video on is the transition. I noticed I hit the ball a lot better when I start the downswing with the lower body before the club reaches the top of the backswing. But it doesn't feel natural. So I'd love some drills to improve that.

Next video: How to engage the lower body!

First time watcher. I like it. I'll be trying it out tomorrow in my net. I have a qui k question. What do I "pull" my irons so much? I have a really good hit, fine distance, but always angles left, and I can't seem to fix my posture to correct it hahaha

u fixed my putt with low and slow. I make sure i drag the putter on the ground in back swing for 2 inches when i hit it. It gave me way more power and accuracy.. thanks Grant!

Using that on the range today has brought a lot of good stuff I’ve been hammering over the winter , thanks 🙏

What's up Grant! Nice video, can you do a part 2 or part 3 to this? I feel like I have a solid grip, good take away, but I struggle with the transfer at the top as well as making consistent contact at the bottom. Maybe some swing thoughts at the top of the swing/transfer would help. As well as the down swing and making contact. Flat wrist, bowed wrist, swinging in to out, how much do you turn your hands over, keeping your head still, keeping your arms straight after you make contact, rotating, transfer your weight. Lots of questions, but again this video helps a lot, thanks👊

Great tips. Thank you! I struggle with always hitting the heel of my driver instead of center of the club face. Very frustrating!

Would love a video about weight transfer that's my biggest problem causing thin shots and fat shots

Great lesson Grant. 3 great shots too. I love your smooth swing.

love seeing a grant teaches video!

I did this last night at the range. and fixed my hook. Best simple lessons on RU-vid no gimmicks or frills thumbs up grant carry on

Would love a video of when and how to release the club.

Grant's swing is a thing of absolute beauty

I would like to see a video on the follow through, I have a real problem with hands turning over after the ball strike which seems to steering the ball. I've tried putting a ice lolly stick down my glove on to the top part of my wrist to stop the roll over but it still happens, any advice Grant would be amazing. Cheers from Australia

Thank you sir. Been struggling, then followed this video. Shot 78 today ( 15 handicapper).

Grant because you hit irons so well can you talk about width of stance and ball position for all irons. Also with that how do you hit it clean-I tend not to divot at all or very rarely and when I do my hit is terrible. If I scuff the ground I usually hit a great shot but not in line with my target.

I like this check point. Maybe another video of all the ideal check points? 17 handicap here - my biggest issues is being too flippy & scrunched while making contact and not releasing the club. Any thoughts?

Great video!

As a fairly new golfer, I'd love to see and hear your thoughts on topping the golfball.. All the reasons why this could happen. Love all the content, keep it up G!

I would love to see a video on how the legs should work in the golf swing. Any drills for creating separation in the legs and then posting up on the left leg. When I watch a video of myself, both of my knees sway forward in tandem in the downswing, and it doesn't look right. It also appears like I'm reaching the impact position in a squat position because I don't post up/straighten the left leg well.

im struggling with hooking my driver ive tried weaking my grip and everything so this video helped a good bit thanks for thi information

Great video!!! Very well explained. This helped me tremendously more than a lot of other videos!

Great video. I would like to see more about how to initiate the down swing, and tips on follow through.

I would like to see a video about swing thoughts or how to simplify swing to not overthink each step of a it

Grant any chance you can give us a vid on grips? Just watching your vid with BDS (with joes HIO) and see you interlocking even on pitch shots. Would loveee your perspective on the benefits.

Love what youre doing here! Thank you comrade!

Thanks for the tips grant keep ‘em coming! Where to set ball position for every club and how far to stand back/where to grip etc. would be great

I’d be interested in what you thoughts were of the STOW STICK golf accessory…. It sure has made a difference in my putting movements…. The resistance band also helped out in keeping my hands out of my game… “Thank You” for your for your well explained video..

Great video Grant and those were 3 of the prettiest ball flights RU-vid has ever seen.

New here to the channel & golf (Haven’t explored the page) it would be interesting to hear how to control the power of a shot for in between distances

Can you please do a video on the setup? Ball position relative to your stance, how far back you should be, etc. for each club? Driver, fairway wood, iron, wedge. Thanks.

i saw something one time about how rory mcilroy adds distance by widening his stance and distance from the ball. is that something that you agree with? How do you add distance if that's something you're struggling with (off the tee, driver)

How to Fix the duck hook shot. I normally drive the ball great....around 275-ish carry and many times rolls out to 300-ish depending on the ground. Pretty high ball flight as well... I would say borders on too high most of the time. But when I'm doing everything right, driver is my absolute favorite club in the bag because of how consistent it is vs irons and wedges. But somewhere in each summer I develop a duck hook with the driver and can NOT stop hitting the ball from the absolute toe of the club. I use foot powder spray on the club face when I have trouble with something like this. So with all sorts of adjustments to ball position, tee height, weaken the grip, and putting tees in the ground to get more nuetral path instead of 'in too out'....I'm still hitting the toe and what looks like some major top spin on the ball. I'm talking it might fly 75-100 yards going hard left, and the spin shoots the ball down to the ground. This is driver only. All other clubs are normal...average to slightly below average. I normally score below bogey golf.

I am in my 50's. You make the check points simple and not complex. Any tips on 50 yards and below?

Low and slow is my new swing thought, all I needed to hear

I’d love to see a video on lag and how to avoid casting the club. Love your content Grant, long time watcher.

Different types of bunker shots around the green. Uphill/down hill. Ball above feet/below feet. I can hit some amazing bunker shots then i shank a bunch of them. What could be making me shank them? Alignment? Also obviously farther bunker shots strike gets harder probably because I'm more tense trying to swing 'harder'. My 2 cents if you could address everything you go through in your mind and progression on that please thanks!

I need tips for compressing the ball more. Struggle with early extension and using my hands too much.

This is money. Dude, thank you for making this.

Great video grant. Would love to see a video on green side rough when it’s sat down and sitting up. Those are where I lose a lot of strokes around the course. Thanks 🙏

Great video Grant. I’m really struggling with the slice when it comes to using anything longer than a 7iron. Can you help?

loves your videos so insightful and i also like watching it because your swing and rythm are amazing

Great video. I’m about 10 months into my golf game and really struggle with releasing the club. Some pointers on a video would be awesome!

Great videos Grant 👌 what about a video on gaining more power with having a short backswing, like a Rahm or finau?

Hey Grant - not sure how doable it would be but it would be helpful with things like this to somehow have a shot from your view. The down the line view is good, but when I’m doing these drills, it’s sometimes hard to tell if I’m too much outside my hands (for example). Seeing your perspective could help that

Bro, this channel is so dope. Love the content. Lord knows my game can only benefit by understanding the swing in golf

An episode on to generate speed with Driver and fairway woods would be awesome.

Hi GRANT! :) Picked up golf 2 years ago....on the range 4 or 5 times a day ever since. The QUESTION I have is: Do you keep the left arm and wrist locked in place through entire swing? I don't know whether to relax and sort of let the momentum of the backswing SLAP through contact OR keep arm and wrist firm through entire swing? Do you have a sense of FIRM and LOCKED through contact or relaxed and let the wrist roll naturally?

how high should be the tee position cause idk if it’s to high or to low when teeing off ❓

I’m a fellow Arccos user and a tournament scratch golfer chasing the dream of plus territory in my 40’s. I think a video going over your data and planning your practice would be a good video.

Hey Grant. Question for ya. I was just thinking about the takeaway . Could I practice just using my Trail side with the takeaway like just using my trail hand and arms for the start of the takeaway.

Would love an in person lesson!

Grant, being a 6'5" golfer I often seem to struggle with my ball placement in my stance as far as how far away from the body I am. I feel it causes me to get steep often and lead to some chunk shots. What's the best way to get the correct distance and be able to repeat it easily?

Hey Grant, a video that solely focuses on wrist action would be soooooo helpful!!

Lately I’m hitting so far behind the ball with irons so any help there would be great!

I wana know where all the power comes from. Your swing looks so smooth and effortless, I feel like I put so much muscle into my swing and even when I do hit it pure, it'll go 220m total (driver). Or is it swing path that's lacking?

would like to see the connection of the shoulders and the arms to the swing starting with the take-away

A videos with weight transfer and distance you stand away from the ball with different clubs. Love you videos they help so much

How do you hit a draw ? I tried everything and I can not do but I do hit it somewhat straight lol .

I literally just watched the old video of this topic on the good good labs channel... perfect timing thanks Grant😂

Brilliant! Now the second part of the takeaway pls.

Great video! Would love to have one about the famous “right elbow” 😊

A video about what your mind is on over a shot. Overthinking, not thinking enough and key thoughts over a ball

such a great video, this explains my horrific slice after recording my swing I was so inside at the takeaway

Great video, I’m going to share this with my son. Thanks

Great content as usual! You obviously, and arguably, have the most butter golf swing out there. Just wondering if you can tackle the different steps of the golf swing with respect to players with different heights (and other parameters such as age and flexibility)? I mentioned height because this might be easier to tackle. My question assumes club length is held constant. I believe this isn't addressed much in youtube and helps with your viewers who, like me, strive to have a swing like yours but may have different body types. Thanks Grant and team for the top tier content as usual. More power to yall!

I started to do the Faldo Takeaway Drill and it made my takeaway damn near perfect everytime

What's the feeling for the rest of the backswing after the check point? How much longer does the club face stay parallel to spine angle? Most tutorial vids skip over this part :) Thanks

Love the video. I think what would be helpful (for me at least) is showing/explaining the feel of what to do after you reach that checkpoint and getting it to the top. I assume there will be a different video about the transition, but checkpoint --> top of backswing would be very nice to see.

Hi Grant, could you give a tutorial on how to properly hit a driver.

Low and slow…I needed to hear that. Thanks Grant!

Your teaching video is help me better at golf❤

Very Helpful - Thank You !
