One Piece Takeaway | Golf Monthly

Yant, this is something I've tried working on, but I now think the penny may have dropped.
Do you now find that compared to your previous swing it makes your shoulders turn on a steeper Plane naturally ?
This in turn creates more width

Not sure about a steeper plane for your shoulders (not sure what that really means) but a one piece takeaway (which, in my humble opinion only helps to simplify an already complicated process to master) naturally leads to width. However, if you are swinging correctly and your body doesn't over-compensate, then you should only be able to achieve so much width anyway.

My swing thought for the last 2 years has been;

"one movement away from the ball starting with the shoulders"
"don't fan the club head open and maintain it's natural angle"

The best analogy to use is a hula hoop. If you stand up straight and put a hula hoop around your mid-drift and hold out a golf club at the same time, then turn, the club head would be in a natural position pointing straight up at the sky. Now bend from the waist and you should see that, if you have not manipulated the club head as you have bent from the waist then the club head will not be pointing directly up. It will be at the same angle as your spine. If you can do this when you swing then the club will be on plane and not open.
