My Amateur Golf Was OVER QUICKLY Once I Did This (HUGE Golf Swing Discovery)
PGA Professional Alex Elliott shares three game-changing takeaway drills used by top tour players to move from amateur to professional consistency. By focusing on a body-driven start rather than a 'handsy' takeaway, golfers can create a more automatic and repeatable swing. The video demonstrates the lead hand feel, the ball-push technique, and a home-based club-push drill to dial in the perfect backswing start.
A 'handsy' takeaway is a primary cause of clubface inconsistency and poor ball striking.
The lead arm should feel like it presses into the chest during the initial move to engage the torso turn.
Pushing a ball or club directly back (towards '12:30' on a clock face) keeps the club on the correct plane and prevents it from whipping inside.
Short, frequent practice sessions (5 minutes) are more effective for changing takeaway habits than long, infrequent ones.
Getting the takeaway right makes the rest of the golf swing feel more automatic and less technical.
