The Golf Swing Takeaway has a few Distinct Feelings

There is no hand action yet, but the hands are alive to the club head.

Moving everything together encourages the club to move on a natural path to the inside around the body. The hands feel the weight of the club head all the time.

With the arms staying together and resting on top of your chest they will automatically move with the

turning of your chest, setting you up for a perfect takeaway. They have no other option but to feel connected and relaxed and in sync with the body turn.

It is important to understand the takeaway is a sideways move. Sweeping the club away gives width to the back swing, encouraging leverage and power.

You can blend the same move into your takeaway simply and quickly with the help of a training club. It will do wonders for your shot making.

Look at any tour player and you will see the similarities in this initial move. They all display passive hands.

What will become important is that the hands stay opposite the chest most of the time during the entire swing. Evidence of the arms and body turn moving together and feeling connected.

A good tip for ensuring the arms move in sync with the shoulder turn each time is to keep the right arm straight for this short part of the start of your swing, then let it begin to fold.
