You Won’t Believe How Easy This Makes The Takeaway

PGA instructor James Chown (JChownGolf) demonstrates a simple technique to simplify the takeaway in the backswing. By keeping the hands and body moving together during the initial takeaway, golfers can prevent rolling the wrists inside and improve their backswing path.

• Initiate the backswing using body rotation rather than pulling the hands back.
• Keep the clubhead inline with or outside the hands when the club shaft reaches parallel to the ground.
• Avoid early wrist roll to keep the clubface square to the swing path.
• Practice synchronized movement between the chest and arms to build repeatabilty.
