Starting the club on the correct path is critical. But the take-back can’t start until you have a firm and level sett grip on the club. From there the club can follow a natural pendulum, where the club comes back downwards to contact the ball with the same angle applied from the start. Golfers of all levels should remind themselves through in person or virtual learnings from golf professions to act as a witness and support mechanism to align properly with the preferred flow of the golf swing.
