takeaway

[Medici999]

hi there. im struggling with the takeaway abit, i can do it well infront of a mirror but when i get a ball its all different. what are you feelings on the takeaway, im trying to just relax my right arm and just push the club back down the target line using my left arm whilst allowing the right elbow to fold. i have also been trying to get more upright and am now closing the club face.

any help will be appreciated.

thanks

I try to "feel" like I am taking my right shoulder and hip back at the same rate while maintaining my spine angle and axis tilt.

Perhaps a lesson might be just the thing to do right now.

I use a bit of twistaway and try to get to the top as soon as possible. I hit the ball longer with a backswing with some juice on it.

I guess if you ask a 100 different guys you will get a 100 different answers, so.................

While you are in front of your mirror just put your club in your "back swing finished" position. From there, slowly swing the club down to impact position and then swing it back up again to your "back swing finished" by the same route.

Whats the problem?

Right! There isn't one.

Our feelings are not really relevant to what you are doing and how you feel about it, so practise your back swing and the feelings it produces for you.
