Where should the toe of the club point halfway back during the golf backswing? Now the toe of the club at the halfway point of the backswing can be used to determine if the clubface is open, square or closed in relation to your path. What you want to be seeing generally is; this the club is taken back from the ball, the toe of the club to be slightly angled so the leading edge, the bottom of the club matches the spine angle. You can either have it there or slightly open so the toe of the club points directly up at the sky. What will normally happen is that people will hit the ball left to right a slice or a fade will normally get the toe of the club angled off to the right hand side and the leading edge open so the club is almost pointing at the sky.

People who hit the ball left, who hook the ball could get the club pointing so the club is actually facing down at the ground. So if you want actually get a position halfway back through in the backswing, either get the toe of the club pointing up at the sky or the leading edge of the club matching the backswing, matching the spine angle. Between those two points, there’s a few degrees of variance but in this little zone you’ll tend to find where the most consistent shots are. So to actually practice this just take your posture, take the club halfway back, try and get that spine, try and get the leading edge of the club actually matching the spine angle or getting it pointing up at the sky, back to the ball then just try and repeat the same position during the swing. So just go through that little stepped process of practice swing back to the ball and then try and repeat it during the actual swing. 2014-10-17
