Groove your takeaway with the alignment stick fence drill
Saguto Golf coach describes an alignment-stick drill for the takeaway. Place one alignment stick in the ground at about a 45 degree angle and make it secure, then stand about two to three feet away with your hip roughly in line with the tip of the stick and a couple feet to the left in front of it. As you take the club back, keep the club from touching the stick - he suggests imagining it has an electric fence - since a player who rolls the hands will hit it. The idea is to prevent rolling and keep the club out in front of the body.
