Golf Secret! Comment TAKEAWAY To Stop Making Faulty Takeaways Now!

Bob Menzies identifies a common takeaway fault where golfers push the hands and clubhead away from the body, moving the swing off-plane. He introduces a simple '4-second' drill using a coffee table to guide the club along the correct path for a more consistent backswing.

• A faulty takeaway often starts with the hands and clubhead pushing 'out and away' from the target line.
• Understanding the correct movement is 'half the battle' in fixing swing inconsistencies.
• Pushing out during the takeaway causes the club to get 'off plane' instantaneously.
• Practicing with physical barriers at home can provide the feedback needed to fix path issues without hitting balls.
