I tried the lagging clubhead takeaway today and it worked like a charm!!

I've always had a popout move during takeaway, and no matter how much I focused on it I couldnt stop the butt of the club from moving away from my body at the beginning of the backswing when I turned the left arm. I videoed my swing today and the popout was gone!!

When I did the LCT, I had more of a float load at the top, which I'm not used to. It wasnt a problem with the irons but it created a bit of a control issue with the driver. I suspect I might just need to slow my swing down a bit and let my wrists set at the top before starting down.

Anyway, thanks for the great tip! I'd read about it before on this site but I never remembered to try it until today. Without a doubt it made an instant improvement on my shots.

Sometimes when chipping in particular I feel that the club goes very low and to the inside so even on a small swing (8 o'clock position) I feel the club gets stuck behind my legs (if that makes sense). If I take it straighter back it then feels like the face is delofted so I though I'd ask for your opinion.

Didnt ask me but id keep the in clubhead and just get back on top of it with the same "butt end" path Brian recommended in the video.
 
Lesson 4 was the first anti-slice concept I ever employed. Used it on several students and myself. Works like a charm.

Must agree with Ringer here. This and the twistaway have signifigantly improved my swing. I think ill change my signiture to say something like 'former hooker who was really a slicer'. Go ahead, have fun with that.
 
Tip #3 hit home for me!

And when I streatched that pitching movement into a 3/4 swing, it continued to be pretty balanced and accurate.

I think I'm discovering that my hands have always been too far away at impact.

Thanks for all the good info over the years Mr. Manzzzz
