How much do you know about the takeaway?

You surely know it’s the very first part of the swing.

You’re probably familiar with the idea of “maintaining the triangle” formed by the arms, hands and shoulders.

You might even have a feel for where the club’s toe should point at the end of the takeaway.

That’s all good.

But do you know how important – how absolutely critical – the takeaway is to the rest of the swing?

Are you aware that a slight miscue in those first few inches can have disastrous results when you strike the ball?

Or that when you get the takeaway right, everything else falls naturally into place?

So when Leadbetter calls an improper takeaway “the biggest flaw in golf,” you better believe it’s true. '

“Most golfers think about the top of the backswing, impact and follow through,” Leadbetter says. “But unless you get off to the correct start, working on these other positions is a no-win situation.”

It makes sense, right?

After all, you can’t build a solid house with a weak foundation.

Likewise, an improper takeaway causes all kinds of common swing faults. The short list includes:

❌ Poor backswing turn

❌ Over-the-top club path

❌ Early release into impact

❌ “Chicken wing” follow-through

❌ Overswinging

A range of awful shots also start – you guessed it – at the very beginning. Frustrating misses like: 

❌ Slices

❌ Hooks

❌ Fat shots

❌ Thin shots

❌ Shanks

Yet the takeaway is largely overlooked when it comes to golf instruction. And training aids.

Well, not anymore.

David Leadbetter is on the case. 

Not only has he kept a laundry list of takeaway errors made by amateurs, he’s broken down the positions of tour pros and synthesized them into what he calls, quite simply…

But he didn’t stop there.

To help recreational golfers like you learn, feel and groove an absolutely perfect move away from the ball…

Leadbetter devised a tool…

A training aid that fits easily onto any club…

And can be used anywhere, while hitting balls or just making practice swings.

In short order, and with a little regular use, this ingenious aid will significantly improve your power, your accuracy and your

consistency.

Introducing:

Finally, there’s a quick and easy way to fix literally any takeaway flaw – and improve your entire swing.

If you’ve neglected this key fundamental, well, you’ve got lots of company.

You had a legitimate excuse, too, given the lack of available tools for the job.

The StraightAway Swing Trainer changes all that.

You’ll feel a difference as soon as you start using it. And before long, you’ll be:

✅ Driving the ball farther… and straighter

✅ Puring your iron shots with lethal accuracy

✅ Chipping and pitching with greater control (yep, the StraightAway works for the short game, too)

✅ Enjoying the kind of hole-to-hole and round-to-round consistency all golfers crave

✅ Shooting lower scores and beating your buddies

Amazing what a solid takeaway can do for your game.

Here’s the thing…

While the takeaway happens in a small window, there’s a whole bunch of stuff that can go wrong.

You can yank the club back too far inside, which forces you to compensate by coming over the top on the downswing – and creating a massive slice.

You might fail to engage your “big muscles” (the hips, torso and shoulders), leaving your arms to do all the heavy lifting – which drains your power down to nothing.

You can fan the clubface wide open or strangle it shut… snatch the club upward too abruptly… let your elbows separate instead of keeping them close together…

The list goes on and on.

So do the disastrous results.

Leadbetter has seen it all, and then some.

And he designed the simple, easy-to-use StraightAway to address every single one.

What is the TOUR Takeaway Position?

The simplest way to think of it is with this phrase:

“Hands in, clubhead out.”

And here’s what it looks like:

Now, you might expect someone like Leadbetter, who’s coached so many world-class players, to regularly teach amateurs to copy swings of pros.

Actually, that’s not the case. “There are just too many variables,” he explains, before adding, “EXCEPT in one area – the takeaway.”

“Copy the takeaway move of the top players,” Leadbetter says, “and watch the improvement in your ball-striking.”
