There isn't a golfer alive who hasn't heard about the one piece takeaway. You just see it everywhere on the golf channel, YouTube magazines etc telling you to do a one piece takeaway.

But what people don't tell you is the downside to it and trying to do a one piece takeaway when your body doesn't facilitate it, when you don't understand how the rest of things work is really gonna screw up your golf swing.

Here's what we cover in this golf video.
If I was asking you to throw something, you wouldn't think about throwing in a one piece takeaway. You would just feel the weight. Don't worry so much about specific placements from inch to inch to inch. It's just about starting it in motion and getting us in a place that we can launch ourselves from to be able to get the ground, to be able to get the width. And you don't have to be a super athlete. You don't have to try and practice for hours and hours to get this perfect sort of takeaway.

Alex Fortey from the Art of Simple Golf gives you simple tips to improve your golf swing. Enjoy this golf video to help you get closer to having YOUR perfect golf swing.

Yesterday I tried your tip of setting up like I'm going to hit it off the toe about 1-2 inches behind the ball. The results were staggering. I'm a single digit and never thought of this in my 5 decades of playing. I was astounded by the results. I didn't have to change anything. After four holes my confidence began to soar along with my drives. Thank you so very much.

I hit a drive 440 yesterday. I found that measuring my drives in feet instead of yards did more to increase my distance than anything i could do with a club.

4th year player here... Steps #1 & #2 are by far the best golf advice I've found on the internet. Overnight... face contact, launch angle and shot shape with my driver have all massively improved. That tip about setting the club up "they way it was designed" instantly made me clearly understand how a driver actually works and how to adjust my swing to get great drives. Thank you so much !!!

Thank You ! This is among the most relevant golf clips I've seen and most simply put. I'm really looking forward to more clips.

I'm a 3 hcap and have been struggling a bit of the tee of late with pulls and pushes and a general malaise off the tee. I watched this vid and put the driver aim toe setup in practice today around 18 holes. Quite simply, even when I thought I previously was catching it well, I was wrong. This tip has probably added a straight 30-40 yards and given me so much confidence off the tee. It WORKS!! Thanks Alex :)

Very nice video! One thing that helped me was keeping my head still. I noticed my head was moving forward on the downswing so I now think about keeping my head back at impact and it has helped me strike the ball purer. Thanks for the instruction!

You are excellent at describing subtle moves in the swing that make a huge difference if mastered. Thanks for the content.

Great attitude and mentoring tone.
Sharp into the decisive aspects. Thanks much

I began taking golf more seriously just a year ago. I began taking lessons, practicing multiple times a week and invested in my equipment. And of all the tips and techniques I learned, perhaps the most valuable was what Alex mentions at the beginning of this video, when he talks about where on the face of the driver is impact happening. I used foot spray to observe my strikes in practice and also clean my clubs between rounds and practice sessions, so I can see each impact more clearly. I've gone from a guy who was happy to break 100, to shooting in the 78-85 range consistently in less than one calendar year. I've done a lot of other things, I've become a much better putter for example, but I've also added 30-40 yards to my drives and hitting it in the sweet spot 95+% of the time is a big reason for my improvement!

Thank you. I can’t wait to get on the range and try out these tips. They are probably so basic that I never knew them lol. Especially how the driver is made and meant to be hit with aerodynamics.
Thank you so much !!

[carlzachhau]

Hey Thank you that was the best education on golf that I had ever had on YouTube well done sir by just listening to you made me want to go out and try it and it was so easy to copy well done and it works

[mkmkm]

Countless lessons and YouTube videos and yet still I had no control or consistency with my driver.
Put all 3 of these tips into practice last night and it was like a lightbulb went off!
The thumbs up swing thought is the missing piece for me.
I was so busy trying to keep my lead wrist flat I wasn’t hinging my wrist in the backswing.
Drive after drive I felt in complete control of my driver.
Thank you so much!!

The simple tips worked for me! Straighter and longer drives. Especially the thumbs up drill. Thank you!

[WantnSup]

I just found your channel. The greatest thing about it was that you did not spend 2/3 of your time promoting yourself or shooting the breeze. It was all tips. They are useful and I look forward to seeing more of the advice from your channel.👍👍👍

[kiranpaw]

Thank you Alex. I saw your video this morning. Played a game today and put your tips in practice. Worked wonderfully from the first tee. Thank you

[aulusa]

Thanks Alex! As a 75 year old golfer it's amazing how much distance we lose past 55-60. I've been searching for some simple to understand swing mechanics to implement to gain another 10-30 yards. Thanks for the great tips!

[albalatbat]

Thanks Alex for all your golf tips. I will try your 3 tips today at the range.

[hocheye]

Great tips, I have a new driver and had the loft set as high as it could go.I was hitting the the ball very high but no distance.I have set it back to normal and noticed I had hit some off the heel. I will try and set up like you said it should help center the ball on the club.
The the thumbs up is one I never heard of but will try it. Thanks!

[legendarysynthesis]

I come back to this video all the time. The thumbs up concept fixed my driver pop up issue when nothing else would and made me a better driver. Thank you

[christofourie]

Great logical explanation of the errors most amateurs have in their driving technique....many thanks
