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?

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?
