Hi I'm Tom Stickney and today I want to talk to you about your takeaway. You know people get really confused on how to take the club back effectively they say well do I hinge the wrist do I roll the wrist do I take it back with my arms to take it back my chest to I turn everything back together? Well all of us are correct everybody has their own basic takeaway it works for them. We know from a mental standpoint with the club as we take it back bugs should fall right on top of the toes the club face should be basically square. So we make this motion you know we see the club in kind of in this condition right here if there was a quote perfect position and we know perfect position aren't perfect positions everybody has they're own differences.

So what I'd like to tell people to do is take has have a take away thought for the 1st foot like Nicholas would do to make it real simple for you. Is it more this is it more of that is it more of this is it more that. The bottom line is if you take it back if you take it back to belt height club should be at a condition where it's right on top of our toes and the clubface is turned down just a little bit kind of looks like this is just a little bit. OK We just want to go against rolling the club back behind you or have the club out in front of you or hinge your wrist to irregularly we just we had some sort of takeaway feel. So don't make it rocket science just try to get the club reasonably around this condition plus or minus doesn't really have to be perfect if you do that you'll have a much better takeaway. Find something simpler because the takeaway should be one of the easiest motions in golf if we don't think too much.
