Hitters Takeaway: On a full stroke, does a hitter use a 1) right forearm takeaway (fanning motion), 2)a right arm pickup or 3)a right arm pulling a lawn mower cord type motion to top position? I have tried all three with various results. I have read Yoda's post on the right arm pickup and watched his video hitting driver in the cold weather and he looks like he is using a right forearm takeaway to top. Thanks.

Loading the Primary Lever rather than Loading the Club.

The Take-Away for Hitters and Swingers is identical, IMHO. The difference, which causes the Loading to be different, starts at the beginning of the Backstroke. For Hitters (this would be easier to demonstrate), Raise the Right Elbow laterally, like a Chicken Wing, from the Shoulder. This will cause a Single Wrist Action Backstroke. This will Load the Primary Lever.

Continuing with the Down Stroke using this Alignment will return the Right Elbow along Side your Right Hip and the Right Forearm will move in a "Punch"/Fanning motion rather than a "Slapping" Motion.

Tray this a few times with mild and then stronger #1 Accumulator at Release.

Then, see a Doctor. Preferably, a Sports Psychologist.
