The One Piece Takeaway

Posted by Todd Mann | 11/10/2009

The one piece take away is the most important part of the golf swing and sets up everything else to follow. A proper take away leads to effective golf shots. An improper one leads to errant shots with questionable contact.

The one piece take away is easy. Start the backswing with a kick of the of the hip to the right and then move the club up and 1/4 of the way back using the body in 'one piece' to do so.

Shift the body weight to the rear foot while rotating the club back and up using the mid-section, arms and shoulders all as one piece.

Do not rush the take away and make it a smooth, fluid motion to begin the golf swing.

The take away represents control and the direction that the golf ball will travel. Practice it and get it right to improve your ball striking.
