Aimee Cho demonstrates a common takeaway mistake that can throw off the entire swing and lead to poor iron contact. Then she brings out a cutting board for an “Aimeefied” drill that helps you start the swing correctly.

Between "fold your trail wrist slightly" and "turn to coil" I always get confused if, from there, the left arm should keep the space between the left arm and chest when turning to the top (when I do this it feels like the left arm is raising from waist high), or as you turn if the left arm should pin to the chest tightly (when I do this it feels like the left arm is maximally going behind me with no space)? Which one is right?
Should this also be used with your driver and hybrids?
Aimee, is an early wrist hinge OK if I keep the clubhead outside of my hands in the backswing? I have been having some success with a simple swing thought of thumbs up in the backswing, thumbs down through impact, and thumbs up again following impact. I admittedly have a steep iron swing but it serves me relatively well as long as I am making ball first contact.
Is one straight back along target line or is there a slight curve due to shoulder rotation? At any point are the forearms rotating or is hinging the only movement?
that backswing start is the key to a lot of issues.
Guilty here! Thanks for the great instruction Amy!
Not enough people address this issue, great lesson!
