00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This takeaway drill is solving inside and shut.

00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,000
So a lot of amateur golfers tend to air on a takeaway

00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
where the club actually whips inside

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
or they tend to air on a takeaway that goes outside.

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
In this video we're going to address the takeaway that comes inside

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
more like this, where the club face stays closed

00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000
and the arms have worked very deep in across the body.

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
So I'll explain why it becomes a problem

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
and ultimately how to fix it.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
So during the one piece takeaway we talk a lot about

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
the core kind of driving the hands out into position.

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
So if the hands were to stay in the same relationship

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
that you had it set up and you powered it with the core,

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
the arms would look something like this at takeaway.

00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
So the club would basically be out

00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
somewhere around 30-40 degree angle because that's about how much body

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
turn we've had during that takeaway.

00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
But that would put the club way to outside.

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So in order to get it more in line, I have two options.

00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
One, I could bend that arm and I could bend my right elbow

00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
and pull that left arm across my chest.

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
And that would bring it in line.

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
We're option two would be to allow a little bit of right shoulder

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
rotation and left forearm rotation, which would look a little bit more like that.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
That's the ideal option because if I solve it by bringing the arms across my body

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
then as I continue the movement I'm going to have too much depth in this right elbow

00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
is going to get trapped behind my body which will limit its external rotation.

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
So the danger of this inside takeaway is then when I complete my turn

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
this right shoulder is in a position where it's going to have a very

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
difficult time shallowing during a transition.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
So what should happen and what we would like to have focused in this one piece

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,000
takeaway is you're going to have more of this forearm rotation in order to get the club

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
matching the target line as opposed to depth from pulling it in.

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
If you have depth from pulling it in it's likely that you're trying to keep the relationship

00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
of the club to your body the same and then you're just creating the depth by pulling your arms across

00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
your chest.

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Work on getting a little bit more rotation that'll set you up for a better top of the

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
back swing position because at the top of the back swing we discuss how we want to keep this

00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
right elbow a little bit more in front of your chest.

00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
We don't want it to get too far behind.

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Well if during the takeaway in order to creep the depth that right elbow

00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
starts working behind now I have to kind of re-rout it to get it in front of the chest.

00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Where if I let that arm rotate a little bit now it's naturally still in front of the chest

00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:03,000
and it can more or less say there as I go to finish the back swing movement during the setting face.

00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
So if you're struggling with your takeaway getting too inside and the club face

00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
staying shut this is a great way to help you fix it.

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
You're ultimately not going to solve that equation unless you learn how to let your

00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
forms rotate during the takeaway.
