Learn A Proper Golf Swing Takeaway And Start Your Club On The Proper Swing Path

By: The Golf Swing Genius

A proper golf swing takeaway will lead to a good golf backswing and promote swinging on the correct golf swing path. When you learn to swing your golf club on the right swing path, you'll tend to hit straighter golf shots more often and can also increase your distance with your golf shots.

The golf takeaway should be a one piece motion with the hands, arms, and shoulders all working together as a single unit. Staying connected is important in the golf swing and it's very important in your takeaway. If the first part of your backswing gets off plane, it's likely the other parts of the golf swing will also get off path. This will lead to making compensations and will cause you to be less consistent with your ball striking on full swing shots.

Make sure to keep your lower body stable during the first half of your backswing. You want to let your shoulders turn before your hips to ensure proper golf swing sequence. The upper body needs to wind up or coil against the lower body to create maximum power and leverage in the golf swing.

In your golf backswing you should allow the golf club to swing back and up before you turn your shoulders and hips. The club must swing and then the body will respond. If this is done correctly, you can sync up your backswing which will in turn lead to a good downswing and will allow everything to come together perfectly at the impact position.

Another important point about the golf swing takeaway is when the club first swings back and is parallel to the ground, the club head should be right in line with your hands. The hands should also move straight back during the initial move of the golf swing. If the hands move outside, the club head can often move inside incorrectly. Also if the club head comes too far outside in the takeaway, you'll also have problems staying on the right swing plane for the rest of the golf swing.

Make sure to get your takeaway down and start your golf swing off correctly. Keep your tempo smooth and let the golf club swing on the proper path and plane and you'll be hitting better, more consistent golf shots.
