After playing this game for 38 years I am now not sure what a one piece takeaway is. I used to think I knew, but now think I had it wrong maybe.
For me it was a movement of the shoulders and arms away in one piece. Pivot to hands. No right elbow bending early. This is now about the worst thing I sometimes fall back into. This isnt to say that some may like or use it to their advantage. Probably some major winners who employed it, but for me it didnt work consistently.
I used to turn the shoulders and extend both arms , long and low, with the triangle maintained. You can even keep the right arm straight if you move the left shoulder back off the get go. You get angled hinging or maybe a dead shut clubface and no or little left wrist cock. I spent a lot of time trying to actively cock my wrists, both of them.
No longer. Now, with the shoulders non active the right arm pulls the left arm which in turn pulls the left shoulder around. This component lag, I think, allows or encourages the check rein action of the left arm to fold the right elbow which cocks the left wrist. This is "magic", eh? Or one aspect of it anyways.
Still inside the incubator on all of this but thats where I am at now. No active shoulder turning or right elbow bending or left wrist cocking. It all just sort of happens. But you need extensor action to tie it all together.
Lynn or others may come in and tell me this is not quite right. I invite that 'cause it will only make my takeaway all the better.
