mecky,
I have been working on take-away too. I think I was overdoing the forward press (see videos in Gallery). Seemed to me there were two options:

1-piece takeaway where turn is started with shoulders or
Right hand take - away.

I have been using the RH takeaway for a week or so, and it seems to work well for me. Simply pull club back with right hand and then drop it back down again. I picked this up on the Mozella site - he tries to explain the difference in one of his video answers:

Not exactly clear what it is he says , but basically I just think about throwing the club back in a smooth way which drags the shoulder etc back too. He says that it's hard to hit a long ball if you don't do this.

Re: big probs

my comments only on the follow through picture

if you notice, your left elbow is in a chicken wing position. the left elbow should fold up on the follow through. to get a better feel for this try the following. grap the outside of your left arm with your right hand. now swing a club. you should feel as if your left arm is extending down and then folding up. hope this helps.

Re: big probs


can you help me with my other problem please? when you say your back should be straight at address does this mean your lumber region should be pushed out or your thoracic should be pulled in ?or out ....really confused about this one if somebody can give me a clear mental image of how your back should be at address i would appreciate it....thanks

Re: big probs

straight back = bend at the hips - do not hunch over. A strong athletic stance creates the ability to build, store and release power.

Re: big probs

hi gord962 ,i appreciate what your saying maybe i'm reading to much into this but the back is not naturaly straight it is curved so therfore i have to straighten a certain part of it ......which part the upper / the lower

What I believe he is saying is that your back is in its natural position (good posture = straight). The bend at the waist is exactly that... think of reaching over a half wall or railing.
