Full Swing · Drill

Use an object drill to fix an inside takeaway

The coach's takeaway drill places an object between the feet and the body, positioned so that taking the club straight back keeps it outside the object, while an inside takeaway will hit it. Because the downswing is narrower than the backswing (wider going back, narrower coming down), the club clears the object on the way down. His key cue is to focus on missing the object on the way back and not to think about it on the way down.
