Hi John the best way I can describe it is by first twirling the golf club in front of you. So simply begin the twirl of the club with the padding of the index finger of your trail hand wrapped around the the club and midway through the the twirl finish it with the padding of your index finger in your lead hand. So with this in mind the backswing is accomplish with half a twirl of the trail index finger ( trigger finger) of the trail hand to the top of the swing. The downswing is then started with the other half of the twirl, using the index finger or trigger finger of the lead hand. I hope I explained myself well. If not I would love to send you a video of what I am saying and the results accomplish from this simple swing thought. Thanks for asking. Jack Nicklaus twirled his club and used his trigger fingers in doing so; but never actually wrote what he was doing other then twirling the club prior to swinging the club.

I recently showed this trick to a women at the driving range that took up golf for the first time. Although she tended to wrap the club too much around her; she and I was amazed at the ease she had at connecting to the golf ball and hitting it well at that. Finally at 70 years old I finally found the ' secret ' out for myself. Call me crazy; but, if it works for me; it will work for anyone.

Personally being a right handed golfer I start my swing turning my trigger finger of my right hand right. At the top of the swing I then turn my trigger finger of my left hand left. Try it and the golf swing becomes a magical moment for anyone. No one has ever said this before on You Tube but; once anyone tries this they will be amazed. Let me know what you think.

Just started to have an issue taking the club away. Saw my swing side on on video a few weeks back and was swaying too much - now trying to keep the head still but the takeaway is getting stuck. Still shooting good scores but want to sort it before it becomes a bigger problem. Feels like tension...I use a press with the putting stroke so could use that...

Nicklaus swivelled his head to the side it was player that kicked his knee in.
