Inside Takeaway Golf Fix | Golf Monthly

The reason a lot of golfers struggle with consistency is because their first move is to take the club away well on the inside. From there, it’s very difficult to make consistently solid contact. In the video and article below, PGA Professional Andrew Jones shares three brilliant inside takeaeay golf tips to get your swing back on track.

The first drill is extremely simple and involves placing a ball around six inches behind the one you’re going to hit. When you take the club back, the idea is that you should gently just brush it out the way.

When people take the club away on the inside, the movement tends to be quite sharp and snappy, which disrupts the flow and sequencing of the swing. So, not only will this drill help you take the club back on a more neutral path, it will also improve the rhythm and tempo of the swing, allowing for a better golf downswing sequence and greater accuracy.

For the next drill, fasten a tee peg into your glove so it points to the target at address. From here, if you take the club back on the inside you’ll notice how the tee points towards the sky and there will also likely be some separation between the arms and body. 

Instead, you want the tee to be pointing towards the ball in the takeaway. Deliberately rehearse this move and feeling until it starts to become more natural and you’ll notice a big improvement in the plane of your swing.
