Is Your Backswing Too Long?
Is your backswing too long? The majority of inexperienced
players I see have too long of a backswing. So why would so many
people have such long swings? It all boils down to Human Nature.
Human Nature says that the longer you swing the farther you will
hit the ball. If this were true, why is it that I can hit a ball
300 yards with a 3/4 swing but I can't hit it 400 yards with a
long swing?
When you watch the Pros on TV, you do see varying lengths of
backswings. On one hand, you have a player like Jeff Sluman who
has shorter swing and then you have a player like John Daly who
has a longer swing. Even though they look different are there
any similarities between their backswings.
1. Pros hinge their wrists to their maximum. This means that the
angle between the left arm and the golf club at the top of the
swing is 90 degrees or less.
The average player tends to be locked up in their wrists because
they try to hit the ball too hard. If you try to hit the ball
too hard, your wrists will lock up and your left elbow will
break causing the club to go back too far. You have to allow the
wrists to stay loose throughout the swing. The looser wrists
will give you more power without having to take the club back
too far.
2. The shoulder rotation in a Pros' swing determines the amount
the left arm goes back.
The shorter backswings and the longer ones are both relative to
the amount of shoulder rotation each one creates. John Daly can
turn his shoulders back more than 90 degrees. Because of this
superhuman shoulder rotation,
his swing appears longer than
others. You should have a shoulder rotation of 90 degrees. Some
people feel tight and they are not capable of turning their
shoulders back this far. If you feel tight when you turn back,
it's not a bad thing. This tightness is a good thing because it
tells you that you have created torque in your swing. Think of
your body like a giant spring. If you were to wind up a giant
spring it would get tight. Then, if you let go, it would want to
snap back the other way. Most people avoid this tight feeling by
over-rotating the hips on the way back. What they don't realize
it that when they rotate the hips more than 45 degrees they lose
this torque that is necessary for creating consistency in the
swing. So don't avoid this tight feeling. Only turn back as much
as your body will allow.
The next time you go to the range keep your lower body stable
and turn your shoulders back as much as you can, until you feel
tight. This tightness tells you that you have created the
necessary torque in your backswing. Also, make sure your wrists
are loose enough to allow the club to hinge to atleast 90
degrees in your wrists. This will give you maximum power without
having to swing back too far.
