Problems with backswing (Video)


tulkaz

Recommended Posts

OK, first some info of me. I'm 186cm and 95kg, hcp 4.2, have player for 6 years now.

 

I have been working pretty hard this winter to improve my swing.

 

Few of my main problems:

 

Backswing with ball: In practise swing everything is ok but when hitting with ball it gets overly flat. I'm really trying to find some keythought to fix this.

 

Overly active hips right leg: My hips / right leg outdrives my hands in downswing, but this is not so bad issue. In range I'm hitting balls without this problem.

 

Right plane on downswing: This is THE issue which I have been working with this winter and this is mainly fixed now. Club is now coming from right direction.

 

Secondary spine: (Lateral movement) This is also one of my main problems of all time which loses me a lot of swing speed. (allmost fixed at range)

 

Too early release: This is the issue which I have to focus more when my backswing and hip-action ( &downswing plane) are fixed.

 

 

So please comment and if you have some tips for that right backswing or something else, I would really appreciate it. Thx.

EDIT: Tried to add youtube video --> not working. Youtube messed my videos because width was not standard.

I have the same problem with my hips.

During practice swings, it's smooth and fluid. But when I actually hit the ball, my hips goes much faster than my arms. It's as if I'm trying to kill the ball. I need something to break this habit.. Been trying for long time..

This is a common problem for people trying to attack the ball. You need to have a swing thought for starting your downswing (a trigger). Think about starting the downswing with your arms first, then driving your hips through.

 

It'll feel weird at first but if you see it on camera it'll look much better.

 

Tulkaz. As regards to releasing to early, here's a drill that should help. Stand over the ball and take 3 swings. On the first one, finish at the impact position (hands slightly ahead of the club), do the same on the second one. On the third one, hit the shot and your hands should be in the correct position at address.

 

Hope that makes sense.

For the backswing, two things that help me are trying to keep the clubface square to the target line at the beginning of the take away and keeping the right elbow away from my right side (don't tuck it early).

 

For the casting and the hips, you might try using pulling w/ the left hand as a trigger instead of driving off the right foot. It'll help both the tempo and casting.

 

Let us know if the advice helped!
