Using A Long And Slow Golf Backswing (Video) - by Peter Finch

So let’s have a look at a little bit of a drill, how you can actually use a long and slow back swing. How you can actually take it from just being in your mind and from it being a good idea to actually implementing it into your technique.

Now what I've got here is a very, very simple drill that you can use to help try and get you a little bit more into the zone about what you want to do with this takeaway. It's too simple to set up but it certainly works for a lot a lot of people. So what I've got here, I've got my first ball and I am going to get settled down to my target line down here and I've the second ball which is just slightly on the inside so it matches my natural arc as I take the club away. And what I am going to be doing is I am going to getting set up, that I am going to be taking it away and actually knocking this ball of the tee peg and then extending that club outwards as I go back. If I want to see how a little bit quick with my back swing I would just be simply taking it out and over the top of that golf ball. Now this does need to be slightly just if your type of swing if you have a super, super fast wrist range on the back swing for example it might be moved into this position, but if you are looking to have a nice long and low swing without much wrist range then this absolutely perfect. So it certainly gets straight down to the point. So it's getting set up, feel that target as you take it away long and slow just try and knock it off that tee peg and then continue. In the previous videos if you wanted that one count as well to get the tempo right, that’s absolutely fine. And then up to this point. Now using that drill actually which kind of goes through and strike that shot away as well. But using that drill will allow you to get the feelings of what a long and slow take away should be, combining that with a little bit of a one count can certainly help improve a little bit more. So give it a go and see how you get on. 2016-06-10
