Hi I'm Brad Brewer from the Golf Channel.com Academy. I wanna talk to intermediate players. You know, I see a lot of quick jerky takeaways out there. It gets you after a real bad start. So, I'm gonna give a drill that's gonna help you improve the first part of your swing away. We actually start with the club forward. We are looking to have some momentum of the swing of the club head to initiate the whole movements back. So, we start it forward; we release the swing and just start swinging away just like a kid in the swing set. Back and through, and so you get full rhythmic back swing into a full forward arch. Once you've done that, you can actually hit shots this way. So you start forward and then work on keeping your eyes on the ball and then go ahead and just swing back, swing through and do a good balanced finish. That's gonna help you find that rhythm that you wanna have to a nice, smooth, full arch going back instead of that quick, little jerky takeaway.
