Hooked Lead Hand Takeaway Drill

Drill 1 - Hooked Lead Hand Takeaway: hook your lead hand underneath your trail arm so the two arms are locked together.

From that hooked position, make your takeaway using chest and torso rotation only, so the club moves back because the body turns and not because the arms swing.

Feel that the trail elbow cannot drift behind you: if it starts to work behind the torso, the hooked lead hand will pull and give you the feedback.

Rehearse several slow takeaways to halfway back, checking the arms and chest have stayed as one unit before returning to normal swings.

Drill 2 - Trail Tricep In Front Of The Chest: from the top, start down feeling the trail tricep stay in front of your chest rather than dropping in behind it.

Keep that tricep-in-front relationship while the body rotates through the ball, so the arms travel with the turn instead of getting left behind.

Make slow rehearsals first, then hit shots keeping the same feel, looking for a more compressed strike as the arms and body arrive together.
