If your clubface stays open when your ball leaves your club, you will fail to send your ball accurately toward your target. Your ball will travel straight to your right or curve from left to rig...

Swing your club down properly

Swing your club down properly

Swinging your club down properly is as important as taking your club back. Your key thought on the downswing needs to be to let the clubhead come down to inside your target line.

Correct backswing is critical to solid, powerful shots

Correct backswing is critical to solid, powerful shots

Proper ways to start backswing to ensure correct takeaway

Proper ways to start backswing to ensure correct takeaway

If you grip your club correctly and set up properly, you will take the club back decently. But to ensure the correct takeaway, you need to know the proper way to start your backswing.
