A lot of folk are confused about the takeaway and what you should do. Should it be one piece should you take the club in should you take the club out and so on, but really you know when the Scots invented golf they got the design of the club right the 1st time the club is built on an angle and we really just want to swing it on this angle. Once you start to change the angle or reinvent the golf club that's when the fun starts, and you won't be as consistent as you should be. So if you start to push the top of the club out of the handle the grip. Notice what's happening to the club head going way inside to start to lift the head out now the shafts way outside and handles in. So what I really want you to visualize with your takeaway is that your hands stay in a corridor here they don't go outside the corridor or in the corridor 6 inches or so wide. Are you synchronizing that with the turn of your body? So as I turn my hands are swinging back now some older drills you may have seen put your right hand below your left hand here you trail hand and work away this will give you a feeling of the one piece takeaway.
Another one is like the putter grip the pencil grip. If you hold it here and just get the feel of this this gives you a feel of this one piece take away it engages the bigger muscles and gets the club moving back in one piece before then starts to fold up on plane, but as I said before the design of the club dictates it. Such as using a basket here and a little bit of card or timber you can place the club in depending on the will be using I've got a 6 iron here so if I just mirror the lie angle of a 6 iron this gives me a really good and scientific view of the correct geometry of the takeaway. If I run the shaft along the board here if I take it outside that's above the plane it's wrong if I roll inside this is wrong if I run it along this board here that's getting me right on plane and then I can fold the club up. Now the clubs on plane here mirroring this board so that's really going to help me get a simple feel of the correct takeaway. You can practice this at home or in the yard of the garden and really get the feel of good swing geometry that will get that take away moving correctly for pump on plane and you've got a good chance of delivering it and really getting some consistency in that take away.
