Hands IN Club OUT | Achieve The Perfect Golf Takeaway | Golf Tips
Drill by David Leathem Golf
Why this drill works
An outside takeaway usually starts with the hands pushing away from the body while the chest stays passive. The hands-in, club-out feel keeps the handle connected to the turn, preserves width, and sets the shaft in a place that is easier to shallow later.
How to do it
- 1
Set up normally and make slow motion takeaway rehearsals without a ball first.
- 2
Feel the hands work slightly inward with the chest while the clubhead stays just outside the hands early.
- 3
Add a small upward wrist set once the club reaches trail thigh height so the shaft does not get shoved outside the line.
- 4
Stop when the lead arm is parallel and check that the clubface still matches your spine tilt instead of looking laid open.
- 5
Blend the motion into half-swings before moving to full speed.
