Erika Larkin from True Swing demonstrates a simple beach towel drill designed to create a smooth, body-led golf takeaway. By dragging and flinging a knotted towel into a wide backswing position, golfers eliminate early wrist hinge and learn to generate natural momentum.
Knot one end of a beach towel or rope and lay it on the ground at setup.
Initiate the takeaway with a step and body pivot, maintaining a wide Y setup position.
Drag the towel away so the body leads and arm momentum flings the slack naturally over your shoulder.
Watch for immediate feedback: if the towel goes limp, you hinged your wrists too early or lifted the arms.
