At this point you have learned the right technique in initiating your backswing golf. Right now we will explain in detail the steps that follow.

The Top Of Your Swing

Your backswing has been started and the club is now over and above your head. Avoid swinging your body at this point because it will damage consistency. The club is in the air and should be pointing towards your target line. The majority of your weight should be stressed on the right foot, and the left knee should be slightly bent inward.

The right knee will have a slight bend throughout the entire backswing and will support the power to come from your body. It is acceptable to permit your left foot to rise a bit at the top of your backswing, but keep it to a minimum as it may throw your accuracy off a little. It’s better to exercise keeping your left foot grounded if possible.

Everything In Its Place

The moment of contact is now upon you and at the top of your backswing you are supposed to experience a remarkable mass of energy and power, rolled tightly in your body, just waiting to release and hurl the ball flying.

You are supposed to feel confident and athletic. The shoulders should be at a full 90 degrees and your hips turned to approximately 45 degrees. These angles are not set in stone, just generalities. Each golfer has dissimilar levels of flexibility and technique.

Try hard to practice your backswing as often as possible. And you do not need to be at the driving range or on a golf course to do so. Each opportunity you get, simply stand in front of a mirror so you can notice your body parts moving and following through with the proper technique. It’s proper to have a friend check out your backswing for constructive criticism. This way he or she can let you recognize of any tweaks that need to be made.

Be sure that your head is centered over the ball as best possible. You may allow a small amount of lateral motion if needed.
The left arm should be straight throughout the entire backswing, however, a small amount of bending that is acceptable.
The left shoulder should be tucked snug underneath your chin.
The right arm should be folded smoothly into your side and brush across the rib cage.
The right knee should always maintain its bend throughout the entire backswing.
Your body weight should be shifted considerably to the right foot when turning your body behind the ball.
