TAKEAWAY - FOR A PERFECT SWING

Takeaway is a very important part of the swing, the article below will help you better understand takeaway properly.

ONE PIECE TAKEAWAY

The one piece takeaway is defined by the triangle formed by the shoulders and arms at address. Maintaining this triangle as you start your swing is vital to a successful one piece takeaway. This triangle established during your set-up should move as a single unit.. The point of the triangle is where your hands hold the club.

ONE PIECE TAKEAWAY

GO: As you move the club from the ball to waist high maintain the triangle between your arms and shoulder line.

NO GO: If you pull the club away with your hands or if your arms get too active the triangle between your arms and shoulders can collapse leading to a poor swing path..

GOLF SWING TAKEAWAY PATH

A critical checkpoint in your golf swing takeaway is when the club is parallel to the ground. Getting your body and the club in the right position here will help you execute a great swing.

GO: At waist high your club should point down the line of your stance. Use an alignment rod on the ground to help check your position. The face of your club should be parallel to your spine angle.

NO GO: Don’t pull the clubhead too far to the inside as this can lead to a
quick hook or the dreaded “coming over the top” resulting in a weak slice. While not as bad as yanking the club to the inside, don’t push the clubhead too far outside of your stance line either as this can result in a loss of power.

GOLF SWING PLANE

Unfortunately many golfers turn their shoulders on the wrong swing plane or come out of their posture because of an improper, inside takeaway. It is very difficult to recover from these damaging moves. To stay on the correct swing plane your lead shoulder must rotate down and under and your spine angle should not change from your set-up position.

From there, you are ready to make a great backswing!
