Takeaway Clarification

   Hi Chuck/Al 

I've been looking at the takeaway videos on RST Overview, RST move 1 & RS Fundamentals.

My query is that in the RSF, there seems to me takeaways for beginners and one for the more experienced players. So with the right elbow in the move for the more experienced golfers, you let it slide across the ribcage, whereas in RST & RST Overview the right elbow remains passive until basically move 2.

I have tried the move whereby the right elbow slides and it feels like a more compact at the top ??

Before I venture out to the range, could you please give me some clarity as to what exactly I should be doing with the right elbow in the takeaway?

Regards

Craig

	Beetle, RST advocates the arms remaining passive for Move 1. Many golfers instinctively fold that right elbow when initiating the takeaway, which gets the club working too deep and around the body. mship suggestion about the role of the right arms in the takeaway should serve as a great guide for you.
