Hitting with a Shoulder Turn Takeaway

[purehitter]

You use a shoulder turn takeaway with strong single action grip and the right elbow action of hitting. (bending and unbending)

Use single wrist action only. (left wrist cocking only)

Standard pivot.

The elbow and turned shoulder plane are used with a single or double shift.

Right arm thrust is more down with the double shift and the feel for it takes some time getting use to it.

I find the single shift a little easier but both will work.

Adjusting the Sweet Spot Balance at impact fix. (hinge action)

I will explain what I am talking about.

Changing the balance of the sweet spot has different effects on the club face at impact automatically if you let the club work like a club.

If you balance a golf club on you right shoulder you will see how the toe of the club hangs down. If you look at the face angle, the club face is closed.

This is the in balance position of the sweet spot.

Now to change the sweet spot balance at impact you move the sweet spot balance at impact fix from in balance to what I call heavy left or more closed.

This will set the balance for more of a draw. Move it to what I call heavy right or more open. This will set the balance for more of a fade.

Using the sweet spot balance allows the club to work like a club without a manipulation of the hands.

Make adjustments to the target line, club face at impact fix (Sweet Spot Balance) and ball position for for the desired shot.

Hitting with a shoulder turn takeaway is very easy to learn and worth the time to give it a try.
