This important start to the swing will determine the outcome when you strike the ball.
The take away is less than 18" long and should be the result of a slight hip turn.
Set up to the ball and keep everything still. Now, ever so slightly, rotate your hips to
the right. Don't sway. Limit the turn so that the clubhead only moves 18" or less.
This simple movement is the beginning of all that follows. Notice that a small movement of
the hips moves the clubhead a lot. Don't change your grip pressure or move the hands at
this stage of the swing. Hold your elbows to your ribs. Stay balanced and feel the legs
reacting to the hip turn.
Practice this move until it is second nature.
