I’ve been using the Straight Away by Leadbetter for about 6 months now, and I must say, it’s been quite transformative! My drive distance has improved significantly.

That’s great to hear! I tried it for a month and found some of the drills quite challenging, but they definitely made my swing more consistent.

I’ve just started with Straight Away, and I’m already struggling with the tempo drills. Anyone else face that challenge?

Yes! I had a hard time too! But when I nailed it, my accuracy improved a lot. Keep at it!

Honestly, I didn’t notice much improvement with Straight Away. I wonder if it just wasn’t the right fit for me. Has anyone else felt this way?

It can be hit or miss based on individual needs. I found great success with their short game techniques!

I love how Straight Away emphasizes the basics. It’s helped my mental game as well. Anyone else feel more focused on the course?

Absolutely! It’s like I’m more present during my rounds now. Really adds to enjoyment too!

I’m curious about how the method caters to different skill levels. Can beginners really find value in it?

Yes, I would say so! My buddy, who is a new golfer, has seen significant improvements with the basics taught here.

I can’t help but laugh at myself. I spent an entire week trying to perfect one drill and I was hitting the ball worse than before! Anyone else had a humorous moment?

Haha! Yep, that’s relatable. Sometimes you just gotta step back and have fun with it!

I’ve been using Straight Away by Leadbetter for about a month now, and I’ve noticed significant improvements in my swing consistency. Compared to other methods like the stack and tilt, Leadbetter’s approach feels more personalized and less rigid.

I totally agree with you, Susan! Straight Away has some unique drills that really help with accuracy. However, I’ve found some of the videos a bit too long. What do you think?

I’ve tried various golf instructional products, and I think Leadbetter’s approach is definitely more visual. The breakdown of each movement is very informative. It stands out among other methods like GolfTEC which can feel a bit mechanical sometimes.

That’s a good point! I also found that Leadbetter’s drills balance well between technical and practical. Just make sure you’re not overthinking it—sometimes you just need to play!

While I admire several aspects of Straight Away, I wonder if it might lack a bit of depth compared to other comprehensive programs like the Titleist Performance Institute. Has anyone done a deep dive comparison?

I think you have a fair point, Duncan. However, I appreciate Leadbetter’s focus on simplifying the fundamentals. Sometimes less is more when you’re trying to build consistency!

I find the community feedback and forums linked with Straight Away very supportive! It’s refreshing compared to some more traditional programs where you’re largely on your own. Anyone else feel the same?
