subject: The Perfect Golf Swing 2 [print this page] In this article we will look at the Golf Swing take away. 1 Initially, take the club back low to about a clock position of 7.30. At this point there should be very little upper body movement. This is not to say that the club and arms are not connected to the body. Remember, that the club will move much faster which is why there is no upper body movement yet. 2 The club, staying relatively low to the ground, should rotate during the take away and square to the circular are of the golf swing. 3 A good drill to practice the technique it feel the correct path your takeaway should follow. Place a club on the ground in line with your target and the grip closest to you. With the golf club you are holding, turn the face over so that the toe of the club points down and towards the target. Experiment with short swings to find out which path is best to try and move the shaft down the target line with applied force. You will find that the best path is the same as the one you need to create in your takeaway. 4 Make sure to get your take away right and ensure you have a neutral grip. If your grip is too strong, you will probably close the clubface in your backswing. If it is too weak, you could over rotate the golf club head. 5 An over rotation of the Golf club head occurs because the forearms and wrists have rotated too early. This causes the club to be laid off at the top of the backswing resulting in sliced or hooked shots. A common takeaway fault in the golf swing is to try and keep the club face square to the ball to target line. This leads to a shut face and a steep swing path , the shaft will be aiming right of the target at the top.
