This one simple trick will fix an inside takeaway instantly, I guarantee it!
if your takeaway starts off on the wrong foot the rest of your golf swing has very little chance of being nothing more than a big bucket of compensations and the great thing is getting the takeaway right especially with rotary swing is the simplest move in all of golf however I still see my students mess it up all the time because they miss a couple really simple but absolutely critical details I'm going to cover with you right now I'm going to give you one awesome super simple trick that'll make your takeaway and keeping the club from going inside and under the plane a thing of the past you'll never struggle with this again so let me show you what I'm talking about I'm going to give you one simple trick here my favorite clue with the golf swing when I see somebody start messing up and I start seeing this stuff happening as soon as I see this I know what's going on and how simple it is to fix it but as soon as you start taking the club back in like this if this looks like you you're going a little inside under the plane high handicaps tend to get across the line at the top and then come over lower handicaps tend to get really stuck and come under from the inside so how do we fix this all I want you to do is take your right hand if you're a left right -handed golfer and take your thumb and push it onto the crease of your left wrist when you look at this when you set up at a dress everybody's wrist is going to have a little bit of cupping their left wrist at address because of the nature of the grip now what people tend to do is they lose this company and flatten out their wrist way too early in the swing now yes this does need to flatten out gradually throughout the entire golf swing so by the time you get to the top this is nice and flat but what happens is people do this right away and so this flattens out the wrist because what they're doing is taking the right wrist which is already in a flat position and hinging it because this feels really awesome it feels powerful but all you're doing is shutting the club face and taking it back inside so by the time you get to the top you're going to have a really hooded club face and then you're going to have again this big bucket of compensations that we don't need in the golf swing let's make this really simple keep that left wrist cupped naturally throughout the takeaway now yes it is going to start to flatten a little bit but what happens is people flatten it out too much too soon so let's take a look at what this is going to look like I'm going to take my right thumb put it on this crease in between my forearm bones and my wrist and my hand and all I'm going to do is I take the club back is keep pushing on that because that makes the wrist bend and stay in this position so now as I do this notice how the club and I'll scoot back a little bit so you can see the club club goes up on plane and notice how it stays outside my hands how would the club ever go inside my hands during the takeaway with my thumb pushing on this crease on my wrist notice how the club stays outside easy peasy now the takeaway getting the club to go up on plane it's simple just take your right thumb push it on your left wrist rotate your body back keep that club nice and outside your hands struggle with the
