Is there anything wrong with a flat take away?

I'm trying to get away from a flat takeaway because, in my case, it helps to promote a downswing that is too steep.

But that's specific to me and might not be the same for everybody.  Matt Kuchar has a pretty flat swing all the way through, I believe.

Well I think a flat takeaway would be ok for me, I just don't flatten in the downswing. Which is my priority piece from evolvr, so I kinda feel like this was an instant fix instead of a long term deal. I'm just wondering if I can get the same results from being flat why work towards a steeper take away and a flatter downswing? I was however hitting my driver at least 225 - 250 yards with either a baby draw or a straight fade when I did it right, my current average being about 170 push fade with a driver. I'll know for sure if it's an improvement when I play this week or not.

Just started a flatter swing plane and have great results...I believe my club/wrists were too upright at address.  Lateley, I stayed tall in my setup and let the arms fall to their natural position.  Much more relaxed and natural.

I think the biggest thing it did for me was, let me feel what it should feel like to be on plane instead of over the top, it really felt like I was swing up towards the ball instead of down at it.

I think, operative word being think, that when you went to a flatter swing, this could have put your right elbow in relation to your body, in a better position (provided your right handed of course). Look at Sergio, he drops into a flat position on the downswing and Matt Kucher, who for a tall guy went to a flat swing and has done pretty good. Bottom line being, regardless of upright or flat, if the elbow is not in a close body position, then a lot of over the top problems can surface.

I'm trying to get flatter too. I'm ok round the green, pitches and such but more difficult on longer clubs to get flatter.  My feeling is that the flatter swing lets me engage my hip turn easier. Like more body parts moving around, twisting to the right.  If my hips ain't twisting that ball ain't goin' far.

Here's a video of MAJimenez. At the top of his backswing, in which direction is his belly button facing?  He moves his hips way round. his shoulders rotate round too.

That's how I hit it off the tee. Your goal is to hit it long and straight, right? Keep doing it if it works. You know you are getting too flat when you start pull hooking. Simply work on "upper cutting" the ball to get back on plain.
