Adam , I have to say this, you are a very good instructor, your genuine and sincerity is so transparent. Your teaching style is so unique. It seems like you find each students strength and you enhance their abilities with it. You can’t believe how much watching your teachings have given me confidence in some of the things I doubted in my swing and I am 6 hcp. All I can say is wow. I have made it a point of duty not to watch any other instructors on RU-vid. You are it for me. I hope to meet with you some day👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Its clear that golfers with a high skill set come to you for instruction/lessons most of time, but its nice to see someone more on the level of a typical golfer.

Just want to give a big thank you from Sweden for all the good content you post!

Still binge watching this channel lol. Actual lesson videos are 1000 times better than all these drill only channels

Brilliant drill, the feel of pushing down on the club with the lead hand to bring the club head up and hands in, was great. But then I started moving my arms from my body, the alignment stick drill between the arms, making you turn with the hands and arms connected to your turn and on a beautiful plane, is awesome. I did this drill and started hitting straight and hit my 8 iron 150 plus carry. Not bad for a 63 year old😀my whole swing has changed from dragging the club on inside, then fighting not come over the top. Just fantastic instruction Adam. There’s such a lot of irrelevant stuff on RU-vid. Unless you get that takeaway right and on plane. You’re always going to be fighting your swing. Thank you Adam. Gary from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I’m really enjoying the instruction and the way you breakdown the steps. I bring the club so wide and behind me it’s unreal. I have been following your content for about a week now and slowly making these changes. I’m seeing improvement. Thanks!

Mr. Porzak you aren’t bad at all, and I say this with the utmost respect. I very much like the way you explain everything and the ways you attack swing faults, from different angles and with great ideas, for you there isn’t just one way to skin a cat. This gentleman has a few swing faults that are obvious and you’re working one thing at a time and not getting ahead of other things, and I think that is awesome. I think to you teaching golf or the golf swing is as if you were peeling an union, one layer at a time. My swing is not like anything I’ve seen you teach, I have a single plane swing, a little Norman-ish/Bryson-ish, and I haven’t seen any of your students showcase that swing. But I’ve been able to follow your take away tips and it has helped me immensely the last two rounds I’ve played, since I hace pull tendencies. Your “hip bump”, that I’ve being doing for 30+ years and everyone and their mothers have criticized me for it, has been confirmed… I was right, it helps with the post and hip turn, I won!. Anyways, just want to say thank you for all you do and continue working with the youngins, they are the future of the game, keep up the good work. I’ve never taken a golf lesson in my life, I’m 50+ years old and I’m a single digit, I hope I could take a lesson from you. I hope you make it to S. FL one day, to the 305… 👍🏼😁

I quit playing golf 18 months ago because I couldn’t stop rolling my wrist open in the backswing. Your backswing videos are awesome and I wish I had found them sooner. I actually want to play again!’

I've look at alot of coaches for drills and thoughts on keeping the path proper and it always some how gets really complex or just isn't easily achieved without them their. I'm really loving the content it's simple and effective! Just getting in position to make the best swing possible with that takeaway and easily getting to the top. Ahhh so glad I found your stuff man keep it coming!

Best f’ing RU-vid golf instructor. You’ve helped me so much just with takeaway videos and drills That was my problem

His immediate takeaway look was amazing, great drill. I have noticed there is a kind of look Rory and a few others get where it looks like the club in folding to me, by that i mean hinging , so i guess the hinge is inline with their arm to give the look. and i just saw it here on this dude in the drill, nice work

Every video I learn something new or reconfirms something I have learned! Thank you continuing to release such wonderful contain.

Adam Porzak; Man, I wish I could find a pro like you in our area!

I have this same issue with hands at the take away. Been searching for a drill and this is perfect as well as your comment on hands staying along toe line. So many great tips in here like the left shoulder in the down swing as well. I struggle with early extension and this video is tying it all together for me. Outstanding instruction!

Such a great drill, thank you!

Kudos to Matt for being willing to put himself out there. Nice to see the approach Adam takes with an average player vs. the stud D1 college golfers. The fundamentals are the same but the thoughts for us normal guys have to be different sometimes to get it to click. Love the thought Adam gave Matt about leaving that left shoulder down and working down and around instead of up and back. Matt's hands have a tendency to move toward the ball in transition. Do you guys have a drill for this because I feel I struggle with the same thing?

Matt looks so stiff and rigid. It will be amazing to see how Adam gets him to where he needs to be. Looking forward to seeing more videos.

You make learning so easy.

Adam actually spots and mentions it at 15:00 but i was noticing it since 11:00: almost EVERY attempt you can see that Matt's practice swings are perfect but when he goes for the actual swing he reverts back to old habits/muscle memory (club face opening, hand path creeps away from the body, and shaft hinges way under plane). he still does it even immediately after Adam points it out. go back and watch!! so even though the contact improves throughout the lesson, there is likely a lot more on the table left to improve. just goes to show why drills are so important--need to untrain years or probably decades of doing the wrong thing. also when going from practice to actual swing, slow down the actual swing so you can still feel the drill element of it. that was my takeaway from this video...pun intended!

Wow great approach and drill for Matt. Fun to see his improvement 👍🏼

Literally looks like Justin Thomas through the backswing. Incredible.

Enjoyed lesson and great take away drill for ALL golfers 👍

I feel like you’re teaching me personally when I watch your videos Adam,absolutely superb mate,top man 🏌️‍♂️👍🏻

Definitely a top coach we have here

Coach of the year come on

Great channel watching in Scotland

Just found your channel and so glad I did. I almost gave up the game, but your videos inspired me to keep on going. Great lesson!

Thanks for the drill.

Good video fellas. Look forward to the downswing part cause my man is steep as a jeep:)

You are A GREAT Golf Teacher,,,,question,,I hit my Golfball,,, then have make a deep divot after,,Why? I love what your teaching that guy,,,,,I going to try it,,,, thanks,,,,old Veteran,,,,

Adam, will using the alignment stick work for the driver setup as well?

Where do you tuck that alignment stick for connection? Looks lower than under armpits...

so good.

Just amazing how you find that one drill that just put them in that slot

You should shot trace the bad ones because that shot you fixed with the shoulder positioning I think was what I need to work on

This video is absolutely fantastic what a great idea to keep the alignment stick under the arms, so is this swing path hands in club out is the same for all clubs including the driver. ?

great takeaway lesson but that follow through is hard to watch lol. good on him though he def is making some great changes, the positive teaching throughout the lesson is gold. great vid

Why doesn’t Adam mention that the student never gets all of his weight over to his left side on the downswing. His right foot hardly comes off the ground

Been watching your videos for about a week Adam! Absolutely amazing! This video and the other takeaway ones have been a game changer already. Getting into the 2 position and then firing made strikes so much more consistent and my overswing was gone! No doubt it will be back tomorrow but Ill continue to practice this! Thanks!!

Do you still see hands go over toe line with wider stance for longer irons, woods/driver?

My club head feels more closed when i do this takeaway. Is that how it should feel?

I can understand concentrating on the back swing, but what follows is not good as he is still swinging around himself, flipping, and chicken winging with virtually no body rotation. With the proper backswing one would expect a better downswing/follow through. Not sure I understand the instructors praise for the result.

Feel like this contradicts the 50/50 turn/hinge video

Amazing drill coach !!! It might help him get a little closer hands to body so it can help with the shallow out s bit .. just my 2 cents..

Hey guys, am I focusing on the same take away /hand path for the driver as well? Could I use this drill for the driver ?

I get the idea of keeping the hands close to the body at the takeaway. It’s helped me with my iron play. Would this apply to the driver takeaway as well?

What about his left hip and rotation?

club head doesn't cross the target line.... the hands are close to the body , arms connected to the body. signs of power. just like a skater when they spin , the arms are connected to the torso. they pull away when they want to slow it down.....

Stil way over the top

His hands are still coming away from his body. Some great drills here

I wish any of this lessons will be filmed from the players point of view. Like a camera should be placed on the player’s forehead and film what the player sees and what this check points look from the player looking down the club and at the ball. All this lessons filmed from the back and front they show nothing what the student or the player is looking at , unless he has a friend to check his swing or film his swing and let him know if he is doing it right. 99% of the golfers they practice alone , what they see from the top looking Down and what the camera shows from the front or back are not the same . You can show this all day if it’s not me or the golfer looking down the shaft and what my hands do and where my hand are when I’m looking at them it means absolutely nothing. I think you are an amazing coach and your team does a fantastic job but someone in golf industry for the love of golf please film your teaching from the players point of view. It’s like filming a soldier from the back or side but you not showing the film that his camera on his helmet is filming. That’s the real view.

I told him the same thing. I pass right by all the others I used to watch. Zero interest in them.
