Question for all - taking the club away

[NorwichBanana]

When I start my swing I feel that my right hand/arm pulls my left side and is therefore the dominant side (I'm right handed). Because of this I sometimes feel I don't get a full shoulder rotation in and instead my arms just end up across my body.

I spoke to my dad about this (plays off 6) and he has no feeling and believes both work fairly equally so I'm interested to know what this forum thinks as to whether I'm wrong or right.

Hopefully this all makes sense - but in summary - you're about to start your swing do you feel your left arm/hand or right arm/hand takes the lead?

Left for me.

For me it is left pushes. If i go right pulling then I tend to come in on the inside too much and then over the top on the way down.

 

[Orikoru]

No idea. I've very right-handed though so it's probably the right doing the work. It might be equal though, it's hard to tell.

For me it's more of a shoulders turn with the left one being dominate

It feels like both, because I try to start by rotating at the shoulders, but it could be one hand more than the other (hence any miss hits)

 

[Capella]

Equal for me, especially at the very beginning of the takeaway. It is my shoulder axis that moves first, the arms and hands stay pretty much as they are. Then, once the clubhead has passed my right foot, the left arm starts to get a bit more dominant.

I don't know and I don't want to know
I've got enough thoughts going on with worrying about this.
I might ask Fragger tomorrow...see if I can get him thinking...

It's all shoulders for me

Gold star to upsidedown, James, Capella and Bob for getting it right

As if you need any help beating him. Mind you I can just see him on the second shot to the first standing there looking at what takes the club away and then in shock as he hosels one into the long stuff never to be seen again. You're a bad man

Left shoulder going down for me ,I try not to think about my hands and just let it happen.

 

[Dasit]

I think about the weight of the clubhead moving

 

[jim8flog]

I do not think either is dominate because I tend to move my shoulder, arms and hands as one unit.

 

[Parsaregood]

I tend to for the first 3 feet of the golf swing feel that my hands arms and shoulders move together maintaining the structure they had at address. I think this gives you the best chance of taking the club back on a neutral path and can help save a lot of faults which come because of coming way inside or outside. It's also easy to check it, why not do it right.

I assume you mean the fact that I probably do something different to what I think I'm doing

 

[Wolf]

Don't feel like either takes control, everything moves at once or at least that's how it feels to me

 

[spongebob59]

Feeling for me is left shoulder to right knee.

this with my right shoulder being the first to move, but not much in it.

missing right at the moment as trying to get more lag, so a bit late on it and the club is slightly open at contact

Wow, you have to bend down a lot to achieve that 🤔
