Alignment stick drill for the takeaway path
The coach gives an alignment-stick drill for the takeaway. Stick an alignment stick in the ground at about the shaft plane angle of the club, then take the club back with the hands inactive - not rolling underneath the shaft - so that the hands stay in and the clubhead stays out. He frames staying on the shaft plane line as the reference.
