Golf Back Swing



The Perfect Swing requires rhythm and balance. The rhythm of your Swing may be fast or slow, depending on your body type and natural rhythm, but whatever the rhythm is, it should be done smoothly. Rushing on your Swing may cause you to lose balance. To obtain balance, you need to have a good Good Golf Stance.

The Golf Swing is divided into three steps, the first step is the Backswing. The Backswing is when you take your club away from your ball while keeping an imaginary line through the ball. A good Backswing gives your Club power and control.


STEP 1: Your feet should be shoulder-width apart. Slighty lean forward and keep your knees slightly bent. Hold the club snugly with the interlock grip (the pinkie of your right hand and index finger of your left are wrapped around each other). Your grip should not be too tight that there's no more room for wrist movement, or too loose that the club slips off your fingers.

STEP 2: Turn your hands clockwise and bring the club parallel with the toe line: the shaft should be parallel to the ground, your left knee should naturally move towards the right knee, and your club and your hands should be hip high.

STEP 3: Move your back towards the target, keeping the weight on the inside of your right knee.

STEP 4: Swing your hands up over your right shoulder. Your shoulders are turned to help the hand and arms go up. The hips will follow your shoulder, then the left foot rolls on its inner side and makes your left knee move slightly to the right. Keep your left heel flat on the ground and your right elbow pointing down.


Remember that the angle your body is in your stance determines the angle of your swing, and eventually, the flight of your Golf Ball. Another important thing to consider is shifting your weight. Improper weight shifting will also result to loss of balance and inconsistent ball contact.
