All About The Backswing…

The BackSwing

Learning how to master your golf swing can take years of practice
and skill. Your goal is to get one fluid motion of grace and finesse.
From the start of your backswing. through impact. to the follow
through, it should be one perfect motion.

A. Why It Matters
The backswing is the initial movement of the golf club and it is
responsible for setting up and defining everything that follows. If
you have a poor backswing, it will effect everything else that follows
and the end result will be poor shot.

Therefore, it’s critical to get it right!

B. The Takeaway
Once you are set up and in position to prepare for your shot, begin
the backswing by moving your club slowly backwards and keep the
clubhead as close to the ground as possible.

Do not move the club too fast as this may cause a steep swing plane
which can minimize your power & accuracy. And be sure that your
left shoulder is slightly higher than your right shoulder (assuming
you are right-handed). Your shoulders, arms, and hips should all
move together in one fluid motion.

Golf players that concentrate just on their arms & hands have a
tough time learning how to hit with power on a consistent basis.

You must learn to coordinate all of your body parts at one time. The
key is not to think too much about it.

Simply turn & feel your arms, shoulders, and upper legs all move
together in synchronicity. Just go with the flow….

C. As You Turn

Once your backswing is in motion, your body will start it’s turn and
your right arm should begin to fold inside. The left arm should not
be stiff, but remain somewhat straight. Your right elbow should be
snuggled within a few inches of your body throughout the entire
backswing.

At this point, everything should be turning naturally and your weight
will begin to shift.

Once your club shaft is in the air and pointing straight back, your
wrists should begin to bend naturally. At this stage of the backswing,
it is critical not to tighten your grip. Keep it loose and casual, yet in
control at all times.

Keep turning everything gracefully until your left shoulder starts to
snuggle itself underneath your chin. The left knee will start to bend
toward the other knee. The club is now in the air and positioned on
top of your head. You are now ready for the downswing.
