I always focus on getting my hands farthest away from my body

This was the most important lesson I have ever learned in golf. I became a powerful hitter after I learned how to do this consistently. as a short guy with short arms every millimeter I can create between my hands and body means distance.

As for takeaaway mechanics, I do drills where I drag the club straight back on the ground until I can't keep it on the ground anymore and stop when the club is parallel to the ground. Just repeat that over and over. helps me get the club to proper slot and keeps me from getting steep
