Here is a short video from legendary golf coach David Leadbetter showing you how the correct takeaway sets up an easy golf swing. This move was a game changer for me.

Byeong-Hun An (Ben An) is a long hitting PGA Tour player who currently uses this takeaway. He was one of David Leadbetter’s students for years. But the reality is many other tour pros already know this golf swing takeaway backswing secret including Collin Morikawa and Brooks Koepka and of course Scottie Scheffler.

If you haven’t tried it you need to give it a go at your next range session. It is essential to stopping the club from getting trapped behind you and requiring you to throw the golf club at the ball to save your shot.

I have struggled my whole life with bring the club back to far inside and being trapped. I’m the king of the over extension because I’m blocked by my hips. I either over extend or the club will end up nowhere near the golf ball. Now, I’ve become very good at this move but if my timing is off at all I will hit a series of blocked drives or the other alternative is flipping the hands and hitting pull hooks. Both not pretty shots on the golf course.

I’ve tried everything to stop over extending. Including putting my butt on a chair or ball etc. But the reality is the problem isn’t that I’m just voluntarily over extending to hit the ball. My body automatically over extends because of my poor takeaway that leaves the club way trapped behind my body. With the proper outside takeaway, the rest of the golf swing just automatically falls into place.

This really is one of the keys to good ball striking. If you have never looked at your takeaway path I suggest you give it a very good look in a mirror, because it may be the key to hitting better golf shots on the course.

If you want to hit your golf ball consistently straight, try this takeaway move Scotty Sheffller uses. I worked on this takeaway last summer after watching an old David Leb better video and I had my lowest scoring year ever. Practice this takeaway at the range. I bet it helps your golf swing. The big key is making sure that the butt of the club moves in while the club head stays out. So, hands in, club head out. And this is crucial. We see so many golfers who just roll the club away going back. Remember the the butt of the club moves on one track, the the head moves on another. This is always inside that club head. And we want to try to feel that all the way to the top. As I do this, you can see my right arm stays on top of my left arm. The club face looks at the ball. No rotation of the club face. It actually feels slightly closed here. Now, as I move the club away, I want to feel a setting with my right wrist. Load that right wrist. And you can see the club head is still outside my hands. This is what I’m trying to achieve. It’s very difficult to get absolutely in this position. But the more the closer you get to this, the better because literally when I’m about halfway back, I want to sense that the shaft is almost matching my spine. Now, anywhere between here and here is fine. You just got to get the club up on its end. Sensing that, hey, that once the club is here, as I just complete my rotation with my body, you can see that’s as far as I want to go. So, I want to keep my left arm under my shoulder plane. I want to make sure that the grip I had at address is still apparent. You can see I still have a little cup at the base of the left wrist and the right wrist. And my left arm is actually under my shoulders. I want to keep this nice and short, but yet the club is not far short of parallel. In fact, you don’t have to wind up that much. If that’s as far as you can go, as long as the club is in balance. You see, the club being in this position here, folks, allows the club to get onto the right plane coming down. It’s all about getting the club on the right plane coming down. That’s why the back swing is so important. So, remember, hands in, club out, right arm on top. As I set the right wrist, I just feel that the club head still stays outside my hands all the way to the top. It’s an inverted feel. And now at the top of the back swing, the club, if anything, points slightly to the right of the targets. It’s a very natural motion. If I swing the club with two fingers and a thumb, look where the club wants to get to. It’s slightly across the line. Many great players throughout the history of this game have actually had the club slightly across the line at the top rather than laid off. And once you’re here, the club has a almost you put life into the club. It has a life of its own. It’s got swing. You’re putting swing into your swing from this position. A much simpler back swing. The club is traveling a much shorter route to get to the completion point. And from here, you’re in a great position now to start down. And that back swing, very different, very simple, but very efficient. Here’s Lead Better coached PGA player Ben on. You can definitely see Lead Better’s influence on his swing. On swing is exactly as Lead Better teaches. Club head outside his hands on takeaway. And Benon is great off the tea. Next, let’s look at Colin Morawa. Not a Lead Better student, but the takeaway looks exactly like Lead Better says, and exactly the same as Sheffller. The club head is well outside the hands. This move has really helped me. If you are all over the place on the golf course, give it a try. It just gets the club head moving properly for me. It might do the same for you. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe.
