Brad Hawkins explains why many golfers get 'stuck' in the downswing due to errors in the first foot of the backswing. He demonstrates that dragging the hands, arms, and chest as a single unit often pulls the club too deep, suggesting instead that the clubhead must move first as the pivot initiates.
Getting 'stuck' usually originates in the takeaway, not the transition.
Avoid moving the chest, arms, and clubhead as a single 'unit' at the start.
The pivot and pressure build should trigger the clubhead to move first.
Letting the clubhead travel first keeps the arms in front of the body and creates more room.
A 'one-piece' drag often results in the clubhead moving too deep behind the body immediately.
