I've been using that two part takeaway but that what it feels like-2 parts. I am having a hard time blending the two motions and it feels like I am carrying the club versus swinging the club in the backswing. One of you suggested a lagging takeaway in another post for a swinger where the left wrist bends more and you drag the clubhead away.Seems like when I drag the clubhead I get more of an angle hinge takeaway. Any thoughts?
Thanks
I'm using this move since a couple of weeks and I'm having very nice results. I'm talking of the takeaway in the Tim Lee Deitrick video, but what I apply is a pull with the trailing index finger that is the first move of my backswing, and this also starts my extensor action. I'm not sure if the above is right or wrong, I'm an italian newbie in TGM and I'm trying to understand by myself.

Tommy taught two takeaways....one with Standard Hip Action and one with Right Forearm Takeaway....try this...from address, just start folding your right elbow per 7-3 the Magic of the Right Forearm. Your body with respond to that action (for all clubs)....it's a beautiful takeaway...very precise. Use the takeaway that produces the best results (Standard Hip Action with the Right Arm Action keeping the hands on the straight line Delivery Path or the Right Forearm motion I mentioned). A precision golf swing is in the book...learn the motions, stop the guessing. All movements should be done with a precise movement...very little space for deviation. The tolerances are tight in TGM.
STOP THE GUESSING!!!

Ciao a te Pasquale, io sto molto bene grazie e tu ?
It's quite a while that I'm digging inside Homer's work, but I'm trying to do it only trough other people work because I know that it will be very difficult for me to use the yellow book.
Fortunately I've found on the net an Italian AI that is helping me out understanding. Golf teaching in Italy is at the stone age, our teachjers only tells you : turn the shoulders, head down, straight lest arm, don't hurry ..... and so on.
It is very sad that if you want to understand something on the swing you must work on your own, but on the other hand is a better discovery if it's done alone ....!!!

I have that Angled Hinge feeling to when doing the Lagging Takeaway, not a problem or a concern I dont think.........I think its just a product of the Lagging condition. BUT make sure the Angled Hinge is strictly a product of the Lagging Takeaway as opposed to a push away with the Left Arm or Shoulder. In other words make sure you're employing a Right Forearm Takeaway. The "push away" can produce instant Angled for me, something I used to do habitually prior to meeting Mr Lynn Blake a couple of years back.
Senti Ottone, PIANO, PIANO. Slowly and softly my friend. In reading the yellow book, there is an interesting remark about 'not being afraid of power golf, since good power golf is precision golf'.
I have learned a lot by trying to hit the ball as far and as accurately as possible. However, If I had to do it again, I would get Lynn's Video and work the exercises and drills as presented. I find I learn a lot from those DVD's, an doing the drills.
Caio Ottone!

Thanks for making me look at 7-3 again. One thing I have not been doing is bending the right elbow soon enough. I like to drag load, but it is really easy for me to swing too much around. Bending the right elbow in the takeaway provides precision and structure of the flying wedges immediately. It also has helped me float load more effectively on the downswing, as I establish the flying wedges earlier. Easy to forget when we have been taught low and slow our entire golfing lives. Thanks Delaware, for the reminder and the friendly tax laws for corporations.
