The Golf Swing Takeaway has a few Distinct FeelingsI’m a believer that the golf swing takeaway is started by the turn of the chest. The arms, hands, and club all move together.No hand action yet. Moving everything together encourages the club to move on a natural path to the inside. The hands feeling the weight of the club head all the time. Arms stay together resting on top of your chest will automatically go with the movement of your chest. They have no other option but to feel connected and relaxed. It is important to understand the takeaway is a sideways move rather than an upward move without swaying the hips. Sweeping the club away gives width, leverage, and power. Look at any tour player and you will see the similarities in this initial move.Tiger is a very good example in this area. What will become important is that the hands stay opposite the chest most of the time during the entire swing. Evidence of working together.
See how the club has been taken away on the inside here. I would advise elderley golfers to get the hips to turn during the takeaway.This will make up for any lack of suppleness. You need to understand that the swing is one continous movement.Breaking it up into sections is purely for you to understand what the feelings are in these areas. Follow on to the
