How To Use An Upright Golf Swing (Video) - by Peter Finch

When you're out on the course, how can you actually implement this? How can you use an upright golf swing when it really matters? Well, probably the first thing you can do is really kind of practice enough for a start, really get used to the changes in the technique. Really get used to the feeling that as you're taking your back that club is moving much more up into this upright position. But when you're on the course, you don’t want to be thinking too technically about these types of things. There are certain swings thoughts that you can have that movement away of the uprightness of the shaft, that nice high left arm. But there are other methods that you can use as well.

One of the best ways to actually kind of get a feeling from the driving range to a course without having to think too technically about it is actually visualizing another player. Now one of the most upright back swings in the game of golf at this moment in time is Bubba Watson. Now for many left-handers, for many left-handers this is going to be a fantastically easy thing to visualize. For right-handers not so much, but there are other players. I mean Dustin Johnson is quite an upright player and his backswing as well take out the bold risk. There're examples of this. A great way to actually do this is to visualize a player like Bubba, to visualize a player like Justin or another player with an upright swing, get a picture of them in your mind, replay their video to yourself just before you go out to play and then try and imitate. There're certain things that I probably would not suggest you imitate within Bubba's swing. But if you're looking really to exaggerate an upright backswing, his is a very good example to follow. So you can practice these movements, you will kind of understand what will happen if you make if make an upright swing for sure. And now you can help with visualization to actually take this out on to the course. But give those drills a go, give the visualization a go and see if an upright golf swing is for you. 2016-06-15
