A good takeaway starts a good golf swing
By SwingFix.com staff
In golf, the real moment of truth is at impact. But there is so much that happens before we get to impact that influences our ability to strike the ball solidly.
One of the best ways to ensure that your golf swing will be effective is to make sure that your takeaway has the club in a good position as you progress through your backswing.
Most of the mistakes that come in the backswing are compensations for what happens as you take the club away, which is what makes the takeaway such a crucial area to work on.
In this video segment, SwingFix instructor Jim Williams shows you a great drill that you can utilize on the range to make sure that your takeaway is sound and that you’re getting the club on a good plane from the outset of your swing.
If you tend to get the club too far to the inside in your takeaway or you pick the club straight up, try this drill and you’re likely to see some major improvement in your golf swing and your ball-striking.
