  1. yeah great video, great instruction…you really helped me to improve my
    golf swing, you are right, i must stop thinking about body, shoulders,
    arms….and just move the club naturally

  4. i like this video, but you keep showing the wrong way to take the club
    back, over and over and over as opposed to the proper way. if you could
    show more of taking it back on plane, then our minds will remember that.

  5. Been working on this concept for several weeks now, and I’m very pleased
    with the results. Easy takeaway allows me to focus more upon my swing
    through the ball, so far with very solid shots. Great advice, thanks again!

  7. I don’t recall saying any one of them is “bad”. I’m advocating the way I
    illustrate because it accomplishes the goal of the others. It is the one I
    use.

  9. @Dreama40 Thank you for the kind words Dreama. The rest of the backswing is
    pretty simple really. Continue turning the shoulders until your left
    shoulder is out over your right leg. You should then feel like you are
    going to touch your right shoulder with the shaft of the club. You cannot
    actually accomplish this unless you let go of the club, but the thought
    helps to put the club in the best spot for the forward swing.

  11. I have had a number of lessons to cure my inside/over the top swing but
    nothing has got my backswing into the correct path until I found your
    video! Less is more! you are a very natural, informative teacher, thanks

  16. for me this guy is a teacher by nature. i´m a beginner at golf and try to
    add his tips to establish my swing. actualy yesterday on the range i found
    out me tending to bent the left arm on backswing. so i tried to hold it
    more stiff but this caused a lot of tension. the fullswing method feels
    like to fix this. only i help a bit with my left knee turning towards the
    ball for a better turn. is this okay? or is this might caused by a wrong
    setup?

  18. Steve, Brilliant video! It has improved my swing tremendously. A couple
    thoughts; how do I know when to begin my downswing? I seem to be over
    swinging. Also, I’m making descent contact, but not creating any divots.
    Thanks in advance.

  19. Just dropping in to say hello and update my progress since finding this
    video. Worked on “grooving” this feeling over the winter months. As the
    golf season/weather is now “open” for me, I’m very pleased. I’m going to
    shoot some video and post it up, and would like to also send it to you,
    Steve (per your website). Thanks again for the great instruction! Going to
    try a few pointers from the setup video now…

  20. Hi Steve! a question. In my stance I have the tendency to forward-press the
    club so the grip(with every club) is in front of my left leg (the inner
    part). I would like to know your opinion, maybe I’m doing a big mistake and
    I don’t know. If not, should my clubface be open as consequence of the
    forward press or it should still be square, what for my look like quite
    shut position? Thanks a lot

  27. Thank you Steve, this is the most helpful and very clear instuctions for a
    golfer like me who makes a lot of mistakes you mentioned. Honestly I hardly
    ever sliced or hooked the ball on a couple of rounds I had after watching
    this video. Thanks heaps mate!!!!!!!!Well done, you are the man..

  29. 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!!!!

  30. 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.

  32. Hi Steve, great video there !! Excellent presentation of the one piece on
    plane takeaway. Could you take this one step further and tell me your
    thoughts on completing the swing from the toe up half way back position.
    Thanks in Advance…

  36. I believe that most golf instructions never teaches one what they need to
    know to really come to peace with a swing. I know that my back swing and
    takeaway has changed constantly. It has gone from each of the first three
    you described many times over. I feel that a positional back swing leads to
    a compulsion that causes me go to an extreme with any one position I am
    trying to reach. This leads to the ultimate failure of the technique in a
    short time. You have helped my game so much thanks.
