If you’ve ever been told to keep the club low and slow in your golf swing takeaway, this video will make you rethink everything. Eric Cogorno shows exactly why low and slow sends the club too far inside and under plane — and replaces it with two simple mantras any golfer can use: wide and up with the arms and club, centered and turned with the body. Watch how Adam Scott and Nelly Korda start their golf backswing with the club head above the hip while the hands stay below — and how the lead hand and trail hand drills give you the same feeling in minutes. These golf backswing tips apply to any golfer regardless of handicap or ability level. If you leave this video without trying the lead hand only drill, you’re leaving a better golf swing takeaway on the table.

What You’ll Learn:
• Why low and slow in the golf swing takeaway sends the club too far inside and under plane

• How Adam Scott and Nelly Korda execute a wide and up golf swing takeaway
• The centered and turned body mantra that prevents the upper body from drifting away from the target
• The lead hand only drill for training width and centered turn in the golf backswing
• The trail hand only drill for exaggerating width and feeling the correct takeaway position
• How to use the Swing Coach app to check swing plane and spine position during the takeaway
• How getting the golf swing takeaway right makes everything in the downswing easier
