The backswing is the beginning of a swing in golf. It sets off a sequence of events that determine which position a player will be in for hitting the ball. A poor backswing can cause a golfer to lose control and not be able to strike the ball accurately.
Golf’s backswing should be started with a slow, low takeaway. Keep the clubhead as low as possible to keep it from touching the ground for as long possible. The golfer will have a wider swing arc, and a flatter swing plane. These are two essential components for long, strong flying drives. You should not pick up the club quickly. This will result in a steep swing slope. The golfer may have difficulty making contact with the ball when the swing plane becomes too steep. This can cause the ball to miss its target. Slices are also caused by a too steep swing plane. The golf ball will start to the left and curve sharply to its right. The goal should be for the players to have a single piece swing, which means that the shoulders, hips and hands all must move together as the swing begins. At the start of the backswing the golfer must feel their body rotating while the hands follow along.
If the arms extend beyond the knees, the wrist should be at the level of the elbow. For right-handed players, your body weight should shift to the left side. Continue to move the body as the club moves backwards, and the ball will eventually reach the top of his backswing. This is the beginning of the transition.
