Checkpoint: Takeaway

AI

In golf, the takeaway is the critical starting motion that sets the rhythm and path of your swing. If the initial movement is unstable, it can affect the entire swing sequence. That’s why a steady takeaway is essential.

AI Trainer has 4 checkpoints at Takeaway:

Two illustrations of a golfer's backswing: the top shows a correct horizontal club position (green O), the bottom an incorrect angled-down club position (red X).

Lack of wrist hinge

The wrist is not hinged enough or hinged too late during the takeaway.

Early wrist hinge

The wrist is hinged too early during the takeaway.

Inside takeaway

The club path is moved inside compared to the shaft plane at the set up.

Outside takeaway

The club path is moved outside compared to the shaft plane at the set up.

Paying close attention to these ares during your takeaway is vital when looking to perfect your swing. Through the use of both our golf simulator and AI trainer, taking note of the areas you need to improve on has never been easier. It's important to note that while you can of course use the AI trainer feature with any club, currently the driver and 7-iron have integrated modes available. What this means is that the AI Trainer’s evaluation criteria may vary depending on the selected club type during the session. As we improve and update our AI Trainer, more features will be available to use to help you achieve more satisfying and confident swings. Check in periodically on these pages for any new features available through the AI trainer. We appreciate your continued interest and support! If you already have our hardware and are interested in using the AI software, for only $99/year you can do so by purchasing through your my.uneekor account here.
