Good stuff, Ben! Thanks for the advice. Visualizing the shape of the arc on the takeaway makes a lot of sense. I've been working a lot on smoothing out the tempo on the back swing, making a good turn and dropping the club versus making that awful over the top move. I can definitely see where starting the back swing with the club hovering instead of sitting on the ground helps slow up the takeaway. Keep up the good work.

I agree with you on this very much. One other reason to lift the club off the ground before starting the back swing is that you get a much smoother start to your swing as the club will NOT be forced to DRAG on the ground at the start of your swing. This makes for a smoother swing and that means a better and more consistent swing. And we all could benefit from that.
