If you have worked on maintaining that good spine angle in the address position. We now want to to work harder on keeping that spine angle in that back swing phase, and ultimately in the down swing as well, but in this back swing phase there are a couple of key areas where golfers are prone to making a mistake. The 1st thing is the club moves away from the ball there's a chance the posture is going to stand up too much. So if I look at it from this side on maintain my Or start with my good spine angle here my left shoulder should turn to the top and I maintain my spine angle for a lot of golfers this left shoulder works and comes under the chin and upwards on the body stands up too tall. As soon as this happens we have to recreate that spine angle in the downswing causing all sorts of problems with bobbing up and down. So we want to be able to turn the shoulders maintain the spine angle and hit through rather than lifting in the boxing great low checkpoint to place the club over your shoulders tilt forward to posture and rotate and this club handle should point down towards where the ball is.
If I'm standing up in my back swing. The club points across the the driving range rather than down towards the golf ball that's going to help you get a good back swing motion. We've also got to make sure we don't overdo that and increase the spine angle in the box and some people so so focused. If you like and keeping down staying down don't lift up they actually deaf in the box spring you create too much spinal a little bit less still worthy of of keeping on that's one less thing to make sure you're not doing in the back swing is rushing go through. That rush tension bring the club but with so much momentum it actually lifts them out of the shot and they stand up too much. Back swing is nice and slow for the top then you can be aggressive and you downswing not lifting up too much in the back swing not dipping down see much in the back swing maintain your posture in the back swing it's really going to help you get a good ball striking.
