After you’ve got the clubface correctly aligned and addressed, how do you know where it’s aligned throughout the takeaway and throughout the rest of the swing? Because after you’ve got it aligned and addressed, that’s not the only thing that you need to worry about, the battle isn't won then. The problems kind of persist on the takeaway as well. For example if you are getting setup in the clubface in a lovely position, pointing down towards the target. If you move the club away and then get that clubface pointing down the ground, that might not seem like a massive problem, however if I wasn’t to move my hands at all now and just rotate my body back into the point of impact. You could see here, how the clubface is now aiming a long way up to the left hand side. So using that takeaway properly making sure that the clubface is aligned correctly throughout the takeaway in the swing, is very, very important, yet again, clubface is always aligned to a target. It moves and it shifts if the clubface moves up line, but this always aligned to something.

The path that the club takes away from the ball is on an inclined plain, so the clubface should not always just point at the ball. That needs to turn and rotate along with the plain. Now during the takeaway, it’s pretty simple checkpoint that you can use. As you are getting setup, if you take that club away, just with the shoulders and the arms more of a one piece takeaway, you can see here how the leading edge of that golf club is pretty much along the same angle as my spine. That is a great checkpoint to use to make sure that the clubface is still square. As a drill to use, you can get yourself setup, take it away, clubface aligns to spine angle moving through and then get the clubface aligned to the spine angle on the shot through as well. So it’s really little hard swing, takeaway, clubface matching, spine angle, clubface matching spine angle. And if you can get those two positions on the way back and on the way through, the takeaway, the alignment would have been correct, and it’s just teaching you to deliver it straight into impact and to keep the clubface square coming through as well.
