Swing Like An Olympic Gold Medalist!
Two Reasons To Consider Building An On-Plane Backswing Like Olympic Gold Medalist Nelly Korda 1). Your Partial Shots Will Improve. If you are too upright or too flat at any part of your takeaway or backswing, you will have to learn to compensate to get the club back on plane. Many players have the club so far out of position during the takeaway and backswing, that they simply can’t hit chips, pitch shots, or 3/4 shots well on a consistent basis. 2.) A consistent backswing gives you the best opportunity to create your best downswing. One of my favorite Hank Haney quotes is “Golf is so much action and reaction.” If a consistent backswing is not trained, your downswing will always be changing either on a smaller or larger scale. As time goes on, this will ultimately compromise any golfer’s ability to be as efficient and consistent as possible with their ball striking. Takeaway: If you can replicate the same precise movements in your backswing day after day, over time you will be able to build optimal consistency into your downswing and impact positions. |
