Golf Tips, Lessons, Instruction & Drills – The Takeaway
In this golf lesson golf instructor Steve Bishop discusses some popular takeaway methods, his whole club takeaway method, and examine some common faults among golfers. These tips will help you swing on plane from the very start. www.golfinstruction.biz
This tip has flat out invigorated my golf game. I have been playing for over 30 years, spent thousands of dollars on clubs, swing aides and studied the game for countless hours. Yet, this one, nine minute instruction has produced more consistently solid shots than all the foregoing combined.
Where do I send my check? I would love to kiss your feet but I think it would be best for both of us if I just rewarded you handsomely with a big, fat check.
I rather have a nasty ass looking driving range and great instruction than a nice looking driving range with crap advice which there is a lot of on youtube!!!!
Steve, in your opinion, at what point should the right elbow start to break on the backswing? I reckon at about eight o clock position. Any earlier and the club will go on an inside path causing all sorts of problems. Also having watched your clip on the grip I have switched from an interlocking to an overlapping grip. My right hand tended to be dominant causing me to hit at the ball and have no release. Its a difficult change after 7 years of interlock but I can see good results already. Thanks
RdSoxFan618;On the driver, the ball should be aligned with you left heal. As you go to the irons you should be inside the left heal.(2)Your left arm are should naturally bend;right arm relitively straight!(3)The plane of the swing should be just above the shoulder blades..not below or even..somewhere toward the upper part of the shoulders. Remember..keep your head and feet still..in other words-don’t do the up and down and up again motion!! Keep the club head low and square-first few inches!!
This is basically what I have been trying to convey. Don’t get flippy with the hands.Try to take it away in ONE piece and square(to the ball) for the first several inches(about a foot to 16 inches or so. This allows you to get square at the top!!
steve you are da man.been tryin to play golf for about 5 years had a couple of leasons in the beginning,occasionally broke 100.last year nearly put my clubs on ebay but thought better of it, so i had a lesson a month over the winter, guess what i have been hitting the ball much better but my scores havent improved.last week i discovered this lesson practiced at the range a couple of times and been for a round tonight, steve i went around in 88 thanks steve you really are da man.
I am glad to hear it has helped you so much. It’s a very easy concept to understand and perform which I think makes it so useful.

I kid you not.
Excellent advise. Results in a one-piece takeawy, which is what one wants.
Swing is absolute money.
I’m a one piece takeaway kinda guy.
gotta admit, you sorta sound geeky, but tip is good and swing looks great
I totally agree with the takeaways. Good info!
if your in the golf business you need to know how to grow grass

steve great drill and thought…but would this fall under the umbrella of a one piece takeaway?
