Build a Better Backswing Part 2 (Visuals and Explanation)

In the Build a Better Backswing Series, Part 2 is all about the turning pieces of the knees and how they flex to enable movement.  Using Gears 3D technology in the first video, we were able to take a look at several different angles to see how the knees move.  

In the below video, I lay out the drills and a live explanation of what this backswing practice could look like using a few simple tools.

Great knee action paves the way for the hips and shoulders in the backswing, which you can find more about in video one here.

In the below video, I lay out knee action from a professional golfer that I like to see.

The Strong Strike Solution

The Strong Strike Solution

If you’re a golfer struggling with the high miss to the right, chances are good that the clubface is getting twisted in an open position throughout the swing.  When the face is too open, like it would be for a bunker shot or high lob, it’s very easy to suffer from poor contact, slices, and weakly hit shots.  These three checkpoints will help you understand the difference between an open clubface, and one that’s in a more closed position for a stronger ball flight.

 

Lower Body Launch

Lower Body Launch

One of my favorite swing “keys” is to imagine a pop can or a wet sponge underneath your front foot. As you approach the end of your backswing, think of crushing the can or squeezing the water out of the sponge. If you’re still struggling to find ball then turf contact, put a little more weight into the can/sponge at address. This added forward weight at address will help “prime” your downswing move, while ensuring you’re not swaying too much off the ball into the backswing.
