Perfecting A Backswing Quickly & Easily
In order to get more extension & turn in your backswing, there are a
few simple things that you can do to help. One mistake that many
players make is that they use a grip that is too loose, especially the
left hand grip (for right-handed players).
A loose your grip will help you extend your clubhead behind your
body.
But, the problem with this is that you must remember to re-tighten
your left hand when following through. If you don't, the alignment
of your clubhead might get thrown off. The result can affect the
accuracy of your shot.
It is best to always maintain a firm, yet light grip on the club.
Varying your grip pressure during a swing should therefore be
avoided.
One of the best ways to increase the arc of your backswing is to keep
turning your left shoulder until it has reached a point somewhere
over your right foot.
This way you will always create a "full turn."
This full turn should create the fastest speed that you can possibly
generate while still maintaining a good amount of balance & grace in
your swing.
A. The Top Of Your Swing
At the top of your backswing, look at the position of your club shaft
to see if you are on the proper plane & if you really have a full
backswing.
The club should be perfectly parallel to your target line & the
clubhead should literally be pointing right towards your target.
An easy way to correct your swing is to have a partner watch your
moves. Better yet, have him videotape your swing so that you can
determine the real changes that are needed.
Remember, you want your club to point directly towards the target
& your swing to be on the correct plane.
If you are a right-handed golfer, then check to see if the club is
pointing to the left of your target. If so, then the club is considered to
be "layed off" which will often result in a slice.
When the club is pointing to the right of your target, then you have
"crossed over" which may result in a hook.
With a little work & practice, you can fine tune your backswing so
that the clubhead will always be pointing directly towards your target.
Adjustments like this, my friend, will help you get well on your way
to a lower score.
Come From The Inside & Other Tips
Putting hard work and effort into fine-tuning a backswing is an
investment every aspiring golf player should make. There are many
tips & tricks that can help you develop better form & accuracy. But,
the best advice is to stick to the basics, especially if you are a
beginner or amateur.
Every golfer wants to hit the ball with as much power & accuracy as
possible without sacrificing form & balance. So, in order to
accomplish this, you must be able to hit for distance without
"coming over the top" (as it is commonly referred to).
Coming over the top is a flaw which causes the clubhead to veer to
the outside of the target line during the downswing. What happens
when you "come over the top?" A horrendous slice is what
happens....
A. Come From The Inside
To avoid this, you must learn how to keep your clubhead from
moving outside of the target line. This can be accomplished by
simply working on a technique which is the opposite of coming over
the top: come at the ball from the inside.
Coming at the ball from the inside may be easier said than done for
the beginner golfer. Practice is key & once you get the hang of it,
you can rid yourself of that terrible slice that comes from coming
over the top. You've got to make impact with the ball from a
downswing which comes from the inside of the target line ever so
slightly.
