I have been looking for something that simple for months. And now I have found it. Thank you Kevin Scheller, all the way from Australia.

@izzo70 pretty sure the swing starts that way....

When you have it right you will feel like you're slotting the club as your wrists start to break on the takeaway. Then you stay in that slot until you reach the takeaway position on the way down. That is when you start returning your wrists to their address position. Don't flip your wrists.....wait for your hands which will be slightly behind everything.

It's very difficult to make changes in any golf swing. IMO you need to identify what the cause is for not bringing the club back square to the target. I find that its because I start the backswing too quickly, with my shoulders, causing me to take the clubhead too far inside. To correct this, i'm trying to feel what is almost two movements; arms in one connected movement then rotate the shoulders.

This is a good tip. Maybe not explained in the best way possible but there are many other videos that show how it should be done. I was taught this by a co-worker, and it definitely helped improve my consistency.

The reason this drill is not a great drill is because the hips turn to early in the backswing. If you can remember that and keep the hips more quiet early in the back swing then it is a good drill for keeping the hands quiet in the takeaway. This instructor has already fully turned his hips and the club is only 33% of the way back.
poor takeaway are dramatically effected when the club is in your hand. try the takeaway without a club and see how simple it is. we spend to much energy in trying to manipulate the club

I'm a +1 who has been working a lot on my takeaway this summer due to somehow getting in the habit of rolling over to much at the takeaway. Just my 2 cents, good drill though! It elminates the hands taking over and manipulating the takeaway.
