Brad Turner, Executive Director of the College of Golf at Keiser University, shares an effective method for mastering the ideal takeaway to get your golf swing started. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Tomasi’s article, Brad uses a simple yet powerful demonstration with a lightweight dumbbell to help golfers understand the proper motion.
He explains that if you imagine holding a heavy weight—like 50 pounds—you wouldn’t hold it out in front of you. Instead, you’d let gravity pull your arms naturally downward, which defines where your starting point should be. From there, Brad demonstrates how to engage your shoulders, chest, and torso to create smooth swinging momentum, followed by a slight hinge so the dumbbell becomes level with the ground. This motion mirrors a proper takeaway.
By allowing gravity and the weight to guide the start of your swing, you avoid common mistakes like pulling the club inside or forcing it out. While it doesn’t guarantee a perfect shot, this method ensures a solid and consistent start to your golf swing, setting you up for better results.
