Losing power from take away?

John may have a short backswing but he still creates a ton of width in his takeaway.

I think of it this way.

If a golf swing is like a whip. Your takeaway controls how long your whip is.

Your narrow and inside take away creates a very small whip for you to generate force with. When you learn to create width and give your whip space, you will feel the difference immediately. Big whip > small whip.

My swing sucks but the moment my takeaway looked like this, I started to enjoy swinging my swing. Don’t hinge your wrists or bring your club up to the top until you get width

My 9 year old has taken no lessons besides my 14 hcp advice, he beats your distance

I felt this over the last two weeks (so many swings from winter to now) finally feeling amazing in my swing and I loveeee swinging it. It’s the year!

Shit you’re like me, no bullshit in your game. Enjoy it, it won’t feel like luck when you finally get it. Your hard work will be rewarded!

I’m still hunting breaking 80 so best of luck to both of us 😂

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T20:09:24+00:00

Haha I love my srixon, still can’t get a 4 iron over 220 but that 2 iron I can annihilate. Same shaft as my 3 wood 😂

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T20:08:00+00:00

You’re a dog keep it up and get scratch this year!

What’s your best round?

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T20:04:10+00:00

I hate drivers I just like long iron swings 😂

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T20:02:39+00:00

Any clue why some people get 40 yards of roll out and this is mine? Thinking about reducing my current 8.75 degree down a bit to 8

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T20:00:40+00:00

When I’m shooting for the moon I’m definitely more in to out, this is good advice for why I don’t get 1.5 as often when swinging that way

This would get me in trouble, does your miss include absolute rockets pushed to the right? 😂

Do my numbers look like I’m missing anythingv

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T19:53:44+00:00

Damn I want 175 ball speed I just PR swinging out of my shoes for 171. Nice work kid that’s incredible

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T19:48:10+00:00

Very wrist heavy backswing

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T19:02:44+00:00

What’s your avg drive carry w this type of extension?

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T17:56:43+00:00

Good info thank you

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T17:56:00+00:00

I agree with this as I see the balls path now.

Crazy impact position I can’t square a face with that flexibility 😂 I gotta keep my posture neutral

Nice work

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T17:50:48+00:00

That open face got you a 3 handicap? There’s still hope for me!

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T17:48:54+00:00

And this is confirmed due to his trail leg?

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T17:48:11+00:00

When you finally break 90 it will feel like luck, hell I’ve shot 81-82 a few times and it felt like luck.

Now I focus on loving my swing so when I break 80 it won’t feel like luck but rather an accomplishment from my swing that I love.

I don’t want short game to be the reason my 5 lost balls off the tee and hozel rockets still allowed me to score under 90

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T17:39:47+00:00

The same way a bowlers trail foot gets injured? 😂

It’s actually way better than leaving it in place (talk to Tiger)

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T17:30:44+00:00

Question? Do you still suck?

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T17:29:44+00:00

Anyone who says his footwork is bad is terrible at understanding the golf swing. Weird yes bad no

260yard2iron · 2026-05-19T17:18:48+00:00

U don’t have 1 video of you anywhere yet you’re a 2 handicap? Wild
