00:00 Golf Swing Takeaway Drill – So SIMPLE and My New Favourite Tip!
01:42 Backswing Golf Drill
05:52 Move Into Your Golf Swing
This is my new favorite golf drill to help you get into the perfect back swing position on a daily basis I’m talking about the back swing with so many of my lessons and I think it’s crucial to get the golf swing Basics right in the takeaway in your back swings to help you
Hit better golf shots with both your irons and your driver that was a laser so let’s give you a simp simple golf swing tip that’s going to not only help you get into the right back swing positions but it’s also going to help you understand what the incorrect back
Swing positions feels like I know there’s not a perfect back swing position but for amateur golfers that are only playing once a week maybe maybe once a month if you can start to get the golf back swing in a relatively nice position you won’t have to start compensating on your down swings which
Will then affect your impact which will then affect your results 100% you can have a funky back swing and still produce good results look at that little bit thin but on the green still but for am golfers there’s definitely simpler ways to produce better strikes so what
Is this simple golf drill you can do this with both irons and woods before I tell you though if you’re not subscribed to the channel make sure you hit that big red subscribe button if if you’re enjoying the content make sure you hit the thumbs up as it helps the channel as
Well and turn the Bell on so you get notified of when I upload all my new videos right the simple golf tip set yourself up like you’re going to hit a normal shot so you know you’re in the right sort of position then what I want
You to do is stand up tall like you are basically just standing normally but you’ve got that relationship between your arms and the club which you had at your setup stand up tall and I want the club to be around shoulder height now what I want you to do feel like you’re
Going to hit a ball from this area here if I was going to hit a ball from here I would turn this way my back is now to the Target I’ve turned about 90° with my shoulders my hips have turned about 45° my arms are in a nice sort of position
Lead arm going across my shoulders and I’ve not got my arm tra I’m in any sort of funky positions so I’m basically feeling like I’m going to hit a ball from there I wouldn’t hit the ball from here going this way look at where I am now my arms are
Lower my clubs in a funnier position or a different position and I’m definitely not going to try and hit it like this if we go back to how we would hit it set yourself up move that club up to around shoulder High turn like you’re going to
Hit it then I want you to add your tilts in to your go swing and you will be in pretty much a perfect back swing position at the top of your swing here my arms are in a good spot my face is in a good spot my shoulders are in a nice
Spot with a good bit of tilt they’re 90° turned away or my back’s pointing at the Target my hips have turned 45° all the things you’d look for in the perfect golf back swing now if I did the other two swings so set myself up stand up
Tall Club headed level with my shoulders and I went like this to hit the ball then I turned and um bent forward in my golf posture look how low my arms are my arm is tucked right in behind me my lead arm is too flat and too low
If I did the other one up to the top here and swung this way turned into my back uh posture my arms are really up right now I’ve got big space and big gap in between my body and my arms completely different one of the biggest things that people forget about in the
Back swing and the down swing for that matter is that you need side Bend in your golf swing so bending this way on the way back and bending this way on your down swings and through swings so what I tend to see is people turning really level not adding any side bends
In which would then get you into nice looking positions and this is what really helps with this golf drill feel like you’re going to hit a ball out in front of you here turn back 90° with your shoulders 45 with your hips your arm is sort of parallel to the floor my
Club is pretty much parallel to the floor as well I add my side Bend in and now I’m in the perfect back swing position I’ve got not got more than 90° of Trail arm Bend something that I talk about loads on this channel I’ve got a nice load of space Also in between
My lead arm and my chest it’s not pinched across me golfers that struggle with strike fat shots pinch this arm across it and then throw it away on that down swing causing all sorts of low Point control issues and you can hit balls doing this as well so you get a
Feel of where the top of your back swing should be set yourself up stand nice and Tall Club head shoulder height turn add your tilts in and then hit your shot do some mirror work have a look and see what it looks like in Reflections in a
Mirror whatever it might be to help you understand what positions you’re getting yourself into then you need to try and replicate that in a normal swing and your St start to realize that if you do have your arms too much across your body too high up not enough shoulder turn not
Enough hip turn you’ll start to feel the differences when you get to the top of your swings this golf drill is going to help you get into a much better back swing position so you don’t have to compensate on the downswing which then will affect your strike clean up that
Back swing start hitting some better goal shots start lowering your score let me know in the comments down below if this simple goal swing drill helps your game and remember you can use it with both irons and woods let me know in the comments if it helps and if
