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...

[RingerDaMan]

@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.

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

@danic18

This really depends on your grip. A stronger grip will require that your hands be more forward of the ball at impact. Weaker grips require the hands to be only slightly ahead of the ball at impact.

Impact is much more important than setup, but setup can help you make adjustments to GET into the impact you want.

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 kid you not.

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.

Hi Steve, it's now 2011 and I've just caught your video in Australia . I am looking forward to spending some quality time at the driving range with the anticipation that I will now be able introduce the one piece takeaway to my golf swing. I fully concur with the comments made by Spadecat a little while ago. I'm looking forward to never ever taking the club back with with my hands and an early cocking of the wrist again. I hope my current muscle memory will forget my previous swing!

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.

You are really pretty, thanks for your video. it can be unfortunate i live within Friendship Village considering that i can't end up getting very good makeup, however i get hold of cost-free samples of make-up through 'Gratis Makeup Samples'. i absolutely adore MAC cosmetics!
