Did you notice what muscle carried out this movement? No! OK, repeatrepparttar movement followingrepparttar 133238 above instructions. As soon as you beginrepparttar 133239 movement try to identify what muscle is pulling your shoulder and armpit area backwards. Still can't quite figure out which muscle it is? It isrepparttar 133240 part of your large back muscle where it passes over your right kidney area. At least you will feel more tension at this spot of your back muscle.

Your back muscle is very powerful --- when it is stretched out and then tightened aggressively. The effort needed by this muscle to draw your right shoulder backwards is not very much. In my lessons, I use an arbitrary number like one twentieth of its power. This isrepparttar 133241 only conscious movement you need to dorepparttar 133242 "one piece takeaway". Inrepparttar 133243 pictures and videos on my website you can see how my upper body responds torepparttar 133244 one movement described above. The One-Piece Takeaway Movement — In Posture 1. Set up in your usual posture when addressingrepparttar 133245 golf ball. 2. Place your hands onrepparttar 133246 front of your shoulders. 3. Firm your whole body. 4. Be aware that your spine is now angled forward. 5. Pull your right shoulder straight back to be above your right heel. 6. But, since your spine is angled forward your right shoulder also arcs upwards as it moves backwards. 7. Feel your left shoulder arcing forward and under your chin area. 8. As above, your arms must not move out of position to your body to assistrepparttar 133247 turn movement. 9. You must feelrepparttar 133248 weight of your body about half way between your right hip joint and your tailbone.

This turn in posture must feel comfortable. You should not feel any pinching and stretching in your sides or backbone areas.

Summary Remember,repparttar 133249 more movements you use or allow in your takeaway movement thenrepparttar 133250 more problems you will have trying to make all these movements work together. You can do this. But, you will have to practice more often. If you can learn to dorepparttar 133251 biggest part of your takeaway with one movement you make it easier to have a good golf swing with less practice.

(Pictures and video clips are shown at my website http://basicbodymovementforanygolfswing.com/onepiecetakeaway.html Many golfers have learned to rotate their hands to begin their takeaway or backswing movement. When you rotate your hands you also rotate your forearms. This causes pressure in your elbows and shoulders as your forearms move out of their natural position to your body.

This turn of your hands can be a contributing factor in "the flying elbow" movement. ("Flying elbow" isrepparttar name given torepparttar 133237 "flaring outward" ofrepparttar 133238 right elbow fromrepparttar 133239 body as you raise your arms, hands, and club part way through your takeaway. Left elbow for left-handers.)

When you begin to lift your arms you feel additional pressure at your shoulders and elbows. As well, you are trying to positionrepparttar 133240 golf club inrepparttar 133241 ideal parallel position torepparttar 133242 target line. Moving your elbow out from your body isrepparttar 133243 easiest way to relieverepparttar 133244 pressure and to align your club atrepparttar 133245 top of your takeaway. If you do not move your elbow sideways from your body you will have to develop an opposite turn of your hands and forearms to removerepparttar 133246 discomfort and to align your golf club for a better swing back torepparttar 133247 ball. This opposite rotation of your hands and forearms starts part way through your takeaway --- aboutrepparttar 133248 time any movement is reachingrepparttar 133249 end of its comfort zone. Movements become difficult andrepparttar 133250 harmony of movements suffers. This happens more often as fatigue sets in nearrepparttar 133251 end of a round. True. Golfers are successfully doing this corrective move. But, it is an additional movement in their takeaway which has to be done in time or in harmony with other movements. Any additional or unnecessary movements take time to do. OR, they occupy some of your swing thoughts. You can add these movements if you think they will help your "grooved swing". But, you must understand that you will have to practice more often just to maintain your harmony of more movements. You must realize that if you start getting poor results with your swing thatrepparttar 133252 early stages ofrepparttar 133253 problem most likely will be a breakdown of your timing and not some fault of a part of your swing movements. Here arerepparttar 133254 movements in this example: * Turning your hands * Turning your upper body * Lifting your arms * Moving your elbow sideways OR * Turning your handsrepparttar 133255 opposite way fromrepparttar 133256 first move in this list. This is a lot of work just to getrepparttar 133257 golf club far enough away where you can generate a desired blow onrepparttar 133258 ball.
