Mastering your back swing is important if you want to play good golf. To be able to master your back swing you have to own the best possible golf driver also. Without this it is going to be very difficult to actually have a good game. Perhaps you already have it. But improving on it would enhance your overall game as well as improve your putting skills. It is important before you start working to improve this area to remember the goal is not so much to improve your power, but rather improve your distance as well as form.
Remember that to improve your swing you need to have the right posture, shoes and alignment with the ball. Lack of a strong posture entails twisting at the wrong time and eventually not being able to hold the driver properly. These things together could create hurdles in your attempt in a good back swing. Unless you have the right posture, you can not have a quick follow through to your swing. This is your first line of defense.
A video taken of yourself, whether by you or some one else can tell you whether you have the right stance or not. Then compare your video with the video of a correct stance. If for any reason this option is not practical, you could work this out with some one else, so that you could perfect your stance. You need a good set of foundation skills upon you can improve further as you go on. Working with a golf instructor is a very good option for improving your stance as they can give you an honest opinion. Something which you can not do to yourself.
Rectifying problems with your grip is your next step after you have corrected your stance. Overextending the grip or holding the club the wrong way can result in a poor backhand right from the start. Great back swings are impossible unless your grip of the club is absolutely right. Physically this can not be done. So the more you try, the more dejected you would feel. Often a small shift of your hand could produce dramatic improvement.
The last point of consideration while you are working on improving your back swing, is that you must pull he club from the ball before it is moved off the ground. Most players make the mistake of lifting the club back and up at the exact same time. You not only hit the ball off center but it can damage the movement too. When you pull the club before lifting it, you could notice great improvements in the game instantly. This is really so simple to do. As soon as you consciously try to pull before lifting the club, your back swing talent would improve. |
