Byron Nelson's 1946 book "Winning Golf" was his "primer of golf book" (his words) simple and easy to understand.

For those of you that have the book, Nelson's hands appear to be darker than you would expect. The pictures were taken at Colonial Country Club in March, shortly after Nelson had finished painting fences. Back then you couldn't get paint off your hands like you can today. Nelson decided to do the photos anyway with red paint still on his hands (only a golf geek like me would know stuff like this).

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled program: the One Piece Takeaway...

Strictly my opinion: An attempt to keep all moving parts at the same RPM's, a feeling. Take the club back with the shoulders all together in one motion then let the right elbow fold to get the club to the top.

Shoulder Turn Takeaway with Single Wrist Action (no hand movement) requiring a Plane Shift(s). The shaft moves initially between the Hand and Elbow Plane before shifting to the Turned Shoulder Plane. Gives Swingers the initial appearance of loading to hit. Pivot Controlled Hands (says Jack Nicklaus, "the hands will reck the swing") .
