Keep the club in front of the trail shoulder

The coach's key for a good takeaway is to keep the club in front - in front of the trail shoulder and the body. He cites Freddie Couples (trail shoulder stays) and Steve Stricker (trail shoulder turns back sooner, club deeper) as both keeping the club in front, and warns that letting the arms and club get behind you forces you to throw it early.
