Lesson 4 - The Back Swing.(Changed 19/10/2023)

 

The back swing movement is the bedrock of the golf swing and therefore if you can perform it correctly you will have a solid foundation for a top quality golf swing.

Therefore the set up and the way you take the club away from the ball at the very beginning of the back swing movement will determine the outcome of the golf shot, so pay particular attention to this aspect of the golf swing.


 

Back Swing Movement.

 

The back swing movement is a very basic movement where you rotate the shoulders and the arms whilst held firmly as a solid one piece unit thus turning the upper body unit and the golf club away from the ball.

This ultimately forces the hips to rotate away from the frontal facing position and creates a twisting of the upper torso,

The upper body unit must be firmly held together as a one piece solid unit, but importantly whilst the head is firmly held at a position where the left eye is slightly behind the ball position, so that at the end of your back swing movement, your back is facing the target, or as far as you are able to rotate the upper body, and the left arm is close to the right shoulder.

 

But importantly, you must only rotate the compact upper body unit as far as your physicality allows, by that I mean when you reach the limit of your back turn do not allow the arms to bend in order to make a fuller back swing movement.

( The arms and the shoulders must form a solid one piece unit as you rotate/twist the upper body unit to the end of the back swing movement.)

As you reach the end of your back swing it is vital that pause for a millisecond before you begin to rotate the hips towards the target area.
