At address, imagine triangle formed by shoulders and hands. For first few feet of backswing, triangle moves away from ball as single unit—no independent hand action. Chest 'drags' arms back.
Focus only on moving club away slowly and smoothly for first two feet of takeaway. 'Just take it away slow. Just get that club moving.' Once you pass first two feet, trust millions of practice balls will take over.
As you start backswing, feel right back pocket moving away from target. Loads everything into right hip. Right hip rises slightly while turning behind you, not sliding laterally.
'Don't overswing. Feel like going back three-quarters instead of full turn, then really fire from there.'
On takeaway, allow eyes to track and follow clubhead as it moves back. Don't force head still—let it turn with club naturally. Adds side bend earlier.
During takeaway, feel hands brushing close to right thigh (staying inside) while clubhead moves further away (outside). Butt end moves ~9 inches while clubhead moves up to 36 inches.
Trace a figure eight with the clubhead. Take the club back UP and OUTSIDE, then loop it UNDER and INSIDE on the downswing. Think 'up, around, and under.'
