Taking Your Club Back Needs to be Done Properly

     There is nothing that says you are getting ready for the 2012 season by hitting balls at least occasionally at a local golf dome or instruction center. If you are not but want to there are domes in virtually every community and chances are you pass one at least once per week and maybe every day. I like to find the top instructors in the area and watching a lesson at the Bob Krause Golf Academy in Commerce Township, he spoke about the takeaway. Imagine you are standing over your golf ball and you are going over your check list of your do's and don'ts. The takeaway needs to not only be close to your body but the shaft of the club where your hands are should go over your right shoe. Taking it outside of the shoe or straight back will cause you to over correct your downswing and will result in shots that will result in shots that finish with worse results less than what you are capable of. A second area that you should check and practice is to have your hands in front of the club. You should not break your wrist. Your hand should set when the club becomes parallel to the ground. The golfer hitting the ball was hitting soft iron shots that whistled off their club and was much more consistent. Try it for yourself.
