We all know that there are three main aspects to the golf swing: backswing (downswing), follow-through, and follow-through. It’s easy to see why the golf swing is so difficult to master when viewed in this manner. Truth is, most people will never master golf. “master”They can dramatically improve their golf swing by paying attention to these elements and only making a few simple adjustments. The backswing is what I will be focusing on in this article.
To perform smooth backswings, it is important to remove tension in your fingers and forearms. Before you execute a shot, it is a good idea to do a waggle. You should also try to mimic the professional waggle. The waggle that you would use before beginning your backswing is to set the wrists and then un-set them a couple of times. This is an easy one that I do before each shot.
The most important thing when starting the backswing is to keep everything moving away from the ball. As you swing back, keep your club low. Extend the left arm and slightly bend the right. When your club is at waist height, it should be parallel to your feet. Your body position is crucial for maximum power. This is achieved by keeping your feet on the ground with a little flex in your right leg.
Amateurs make this mistake all the time. This is because amateurs believe that if they want to generate power with their backswings, they should move it further back. In the end, this will result in more resistance and a stronger golf shot. However, this is not true. Rotating your shoulders beyond the 90-degree mark will cause major issues with your downswing.
