I am not quite sure what you mean by "there is no takeaway"? are you referring to the vid I put up, or one of Martin's? Having converted your Mitchell quote to "lefty" speak, I would say my takeaway feeling resembles his broom sweeping motion description. I tend to/like to drag the club head back whilst kick starting my rotation via my left shoulder blade moving behind me and my right shoulder dipping. There are some photos of Mitchell's swing on the web that to me show negative lean in the takeaway.
