So now we’re going to take a look at the takeaway of the golf swing again and specifically looking at how it’s going to happen slightly differently with the driver. And you might hear a lot of people talking about a low and slow takeaway, particularly watching golf just like anything else, lovely fluid golf swing. But it’s all started by a low and slow takeaway.

So, from a nice address position where we’ve got the ball nicely forwards into the left side for the right-handed golfer, we want to make sure this club comes away from the golf ball nice and smoothly to set the rhythm for the golf swing. Now, anything that’s dominated too much by hand action would feel like the golf club’s getting picked up quite quickly and quite fast away from the floor. I would rather see you make a nice low and slow takeaway dominated by the chest and particularly the left arm left shoulder position.

So if I turn my left shoulder, you’ll see how the club actually runs quite low to the floor for quite a long period of time and a nice wide arch setting a nice wide rhythm to the swing; nice wide arch there. So, turning the shoulders, take the club low and slow. As a good practice drill, feel like you’re actually going to drag the club for the first couple of feet. Along a range map particularly works quite nice; it gets nice and smooth.

So, you drag the club along and then lift it up. Out in the golf course; just hover the club over the ground. You don’t need to drag it through the grass, that might be a bit difficult, but just hover it through here nice and low and slow and that should help you build a nice, wide takeaway to the golf swing resulting in some power and some nice straight shots back to impact.
