Rotary Golf Swing – Takeaway Chin Line

We’ve talked about the takeaway a lot on the website, and we have a video about working the arms up and back behind you, and getting some flow to get the golf swing started.

However, we still see a lot of golfers struggling with the takeaway position, often with a tendency to get the club too far inside and the hands outside.

We like to say, “Hands inside, club head outside,” but what does that mean, exactly? A lot of people seem to find it confusing, so that’s what we’re going to look at today.

We’ll start with a look at Chuck’s setup position, and a line drawn straight down from his chin.

In a good Rotary Swing setup, your arms hang more or less directly below your shoulders. Of course there’s a slight angle to them, but with a midiron they shouldn’t stick out past the chin line.
