End of Back Swing Movement. (Changed - 20/08/2010)


The back swing movement is performed by using the shoulders to rotate a very compact upper body unit as far as possible whilst the heel of the left foot remain firmly on the ground and the head remains firmly held in the original address position.

Failure to hold the upper body unit as a very compact unit to the end of the back swing movement will only result in erratic golf shots.

 

Therefore at the end of the back swing movement the body position is as follows :-

1) The shoulders have been rotated as far as it is physically possible whilst the lower body has resisted the movement, thus forming the whole body into a fully twisted condition, but with the muscles of the left shoulder still in over-all control of the upper body unit.

2) The core muscles are wound up to their maximum torsion.

3) The head remains positioned with "pinpoint accuracy"so that the left eye is slightly behind the ball and the eyes are fully focused on the back edge of the golf ball.

4) The left arm remain perfectly straight whilst the right arm has gradually folded and the wrists has been fully cocked.

5) The forearms have been allowed to rotate naturally .
( You do not need to consciously rotate the forearms during the back swing movement - this happens automatically as the right arm folds.)

6) The upper body angles have been strictly maintained.


7) The elbows remain held as close together as is physically possible thus keeping the upper body firmly together as a very compact unit.

8) The thumb of the left hand is directly under the grip of the golf club.
(The thumb is on top at the address position.)

9) Most importantly, the eyes have remained focused on the back edge of the golf ball at all times.
