When trying to breakdown the mechanics of the entire golf swing, there can be no better place to begin then the backswing. If you have a good backswing to start with, you have won half the battle in getting the perfect swing.

Introduction To The Takeaway

Most golfers who have been playing awhile will tell you, that it’s not how hard you can hit the ball, it’s how you hit it. Start by properly positioning your body and club. Make sure the clubhead is as close to the ground level, as you start moving the club slowly. For right-handed players, be sure to have your left shoulder positioned slightly above the right shoulder (This will be the opposite for left-handers). One note here – When you start with your swing, do not move the club fast. If you whip your club and arms back too fast you will start a very un-natural swing plane, which will cause a very wild shot. Believe me, If your shoulders, arms and hips are in a good position, you will surely get a much better swing.

Why is it that most beginner’s are only interested in hitting the ball as hard as they possibly can. It’s an interesting fact indeed - however if this is you all is not lost, all you need to do is focus more on a smooth, easy swing with your whole body moving as one. Generally speaking, most golfers will achieve greater distance and accuracy, by simply making these slight adjustments to their swing.

To be able to hit the ball with power and accuracy every time you swing, must be every serious golfers dream. It boils down to how bad you want it, how willing are you to achieve this type of play. If your interested in learning more, see this article,[2] Mastering The Golf Swing

As You Turn

A great backswing is often considered to be a good start to the perfect golf swing, but there is still some work to be done after this. Every golfer must pay close attention to their whole body at all times, when starting the backswing, keep a close eye on how your right arm is positioned. Make sure, and this is also very important, that it’s tucked up, just a bit to your body. One more piece of advice, try to be loose, through this whole process!

Pay close attention to your club shaft - Is it pointing in the air? Is it right back? If this happens, at this point of time, your wrists should start bending naturally. Don’t tighten your grip on the club as yet. The idea here is to be loose, without looseing control of your clubs swing
plane.

The objective of the backswing is to ensure you get into a position where you can
do the downswing. In order for you to complete your downswing, you must make sure everything is in the correct position, this means your arms, your front shoulder, even your wrists. As all this happens, you will find that the club is high in the air, above your head. The left knee should bend comparative to the right knee. After everything is setup just right on your backswing, you should now be in a perfect position to start your downswing. I hope you found these tips helpful.
