Golf Backswing / Takeaway: Steve Elkington & Stuart Appleby

www.golfsaid.com Steve Elkington and Stuart Appleby are examples of a takeaway powered by the hands. With both players the right wrist bends back during takeaway creating an impact oriented flat left wrist alignment. When the left arm is parallel to the ground as extension of the clubshaft is pointing at the target line. This is a very solid backswing for a professional, buy frought with problems for amateurs.
