Backswing - Upper Body Connection

Keep it Simple...

It's easy to over-complicate the backswing.

With all the "tips" out there, where do you start? Just remember to make your "connection", keep your weight balanced on the insides of your feet (70% of the weight should be on your back leg - you get this automatically if you're setup is right. Remember to "tilt") then start your backswing with a push of your "connection".

If you're in balance, your hips will follow naturally. You don't need to do anything with them during the backswing.

And, here's a little known secret to making clean, consistent contact with the ball. It's all in the elbows...

Backswing: The "Accuracy Triangle"

So, keeping the triangle allows you to maintain your distance to the ball, dramatically improving your chances for a clean hit.

Here's a simple yet powerful drill that guarantees you can keep your elbows in the right place and quickly program into your body the FEEL of a perfect backswing.

The "Out of Sequence" Drill

 

That's one of my favorite drills for practicing the backswing. If you want some immediate improvement, try hitting a bucket of balls where you do this drill after every three swings. You'll be amazed.

Here's a final word on the Backswing and how it relates to balance and weight placement during the swing:

Grab a club and practice these simple techniques now and you'll start seeing immediate results with your backswing. Remember the connection, the triangle, and the out of sequence drill -- and watch what happens.

Hit 'em well!
