Hello i am a bit hesitant when it comes to the takeaway does anyone have any recommendation to cure this problem. I think its adding presure to my game.

If you like chinese, go for sweet and sour chicken
If indian is your preference, Chicken tika is a great favourite of just go for the safe pizza.

Or did you mean the one piece takeaway?

You wicked man Bob!!! Safest bet is always a Korma mate!

As a non teaching numpty who is in no way qualified to offer advice I would urge you not to be too concerned mate. There are lots of different swings out there. Some text book perfect, others downright lousy. Stick with the swing you have and build on it. Trying to overcome hesitancy on the takeaway may lead to rushing your swing and making a right old mess of it.

Just watch some seniors at any golf course. Some have the slowest back swings in the world, managing a quarter turn due to a creaking back. They seem to go straight as a die though............ makes me sick!!!!

As long as you don;t overswing (reverse pivotting and lateral movement are my two big errors this way) and that it isn't horrendously too far insode or outside the line back there shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you are getting a little frozen over the ball at address, either waggle the club just before you swing or try a small forward press with the hands and then take it back.

If you are having problems with the swing it may be worth getting a pro to have a look but I would doubt the problems are caused by the takeaway and may be more grip and posture related

Very simple drill that might help :

takeaway drill

One tip I remember reading many years ago if you suffer from a "snatchy" take away is to hover the club just off the ground ever so slightly. Not much, maybe just a fraction of an inch or so. I've never tried it myself, but it's supposed to stop that initial jerky movement away from the ball.

That's one thing I can't do - if I hover the club I get snatchy.

Still reckon we're thinking too much Guys.......

Look where its going, look at the ball, Hit it!!
