When you rehearse the proper take-away you will FEEL your hips and shoulders initiate the rotation for your swing. Recently I have seen videos and articles about Tiger Woods teaching his son Charlie to make a proper takeaway. David Leadbetter has also developed a device to attach to your club to see the right angle for your club takeaway. These are just 2 recent examples highlighting the importance of your takeaway.
When you rush your backswing you may never notice the flaw in your swing. Starting your swing with your arms is a major problem for most mid-handicap golfers. You will never develop enough rotation to generate more power unless you compound your rotation by using hips, shoulders, arms and wrists.
Professional golfers make the golf swing look so easy. If you can’t duplicate their swings you may want to try these suggestions:
1/ Slow Down Your Backswing: You can’t setup a proper downswing unless you take the time to make a reasonable rotation with a straight leading arm.
2/ FEEL Your Takeaway: By practicing a rehearsal takeaway, you will feel your hips and shoulders rotating at the start of your swing and incorporate that feeling in your backswing.
3/ Put More Pressure on Your LEADING FOOT: To avoid falling back in your swing and topping your ball, you should setup with more pressure on your leading foot. Professional golfers and low handicap golfers automatically transfer their weight to their leading foot before impact with the ball. Why not setup that way. It works for me.
Use more time to setup for success and to feel the takeaway rotation that you need to improve your power and consistency for every swing that you make. Practice with GOLFSTR+ to correct every swing in your game. Buy one today at www.GOLFSTR.com
