In order to stay "In The Box" on the takeaway, Rotary Golf has mentioned in.

In order to stay "In The Box" on the takeaway, Rotary Golf has mentioned in several videos that the takeaway starts with the legs, the belly button and below. Can you elaborate on that? And having my left arm connected to my chest on the takeaway, glove under left armpit, does that help staying in the box in the takeaway? I notice that my arms fly way too high if I don't stay connected. Appreciate it!

Hello Tony. The glove can help a little but it may tend to limit elevation too much and get you pushing the lead arm into the chest. Your takeaway isn't bad. All you need is better setup (stance too wide) and delete the forward press at setup which gets you to activate forearms a little too soon. The main thing is how you coil into the hip. Take a look at Weight Shift Part 2 Video. You are really losing your trail hip line. The takeaway uses a little weight to help trigger the motion and the abs/obliques to move the arms back into position. Take a look at My Golf Backswing Secrets.
