Takeaway Tip
By Jon Woodroffe
With all the storms so far this year and the associated rain, I would imagine your home golf course may well have been flooded or at least there will have been a trolley ban. So if you have been forced to pull out of retirement the stand bag, here is a great way to make that piece of golfing equipment improve the first part of your golf swing.
One of the most common takeaway errors is swinging the club too much on the inside as we call it, or round your bum if you like, as in picture 1.
Well, why not place your stand bag in such a way that if you swing your club back too much on the inside you will hit your bag, as you can see from picture 2, the angle of the stand bag is very similar to that of the shaft of the golf club and that is the angle or plane of the swing that you should be trying to achieve. This way you can hit balls on the golf range and know that your club is not getting trapped behind you as if it does, your golf bag will get a hammering.
Just a quick word of warning, if you do this drill, make sure you take anything valuable and breakable out of the bottom pocket of the golf bag, happy practicing.
