Getting back in the game

[Wasted_Talent]

After not playing for about 2 years I am trying to get back into it.  Any ideas?  I really don’t like how short and tight my backswing is.  I want more width to get my hands more away from my body at the top.  Thanks.

Your right arm is really pinned to your side in the backswing. 
 

As you go back you essentially run out of room. 
 

At halfway back you can see how your club has swung too far to the inside and the shaft is really shallow.  The butt end of the club is pointing over the golf ball. 

At this position you want the club to be more vertical, and there should be some separation of the right arm from your body. 
 

Then when you get to the top you’ve simple run out of room. If you get the club to swing more up and allow that right arm to separate I think you will get the extension your looking for. 

You do an excellent job in your transition to get the club back down on a good path and through impact. It has a neat compact look that probably gets you pretty solid contact but your are leaving a lot of fee distance with your right side being so connected. 

Here is AMG discussing the right arm in the backswing. 

 

Here’s a good drill from Eric Cogorno on the backswing.
