If you would like to learn the proper one piece backswing takeaway this tip is for you.
Why do you want to take the club back like this? You start the backswing this way so you don’t activate your hands in the early stages of the swing. If you hinge immediately and activate your hands you will be in a position to use them to try to hit the ball in the downswing.
By learning this one piece takeaway drill, you will be able to keep the hand out of the backswing and use your coil to get the club going back. With this action you develop torque in the backswing which will make you much more consistent.
