- The golf swing takeaway and a golf takeaway fault that causes backswing challenges such and being too narrow, not having a consistent golf swing or backswing and a poor golf swing sequence...
All stem from a disconnected and incorrect golf swing takeaway that I know you can fix. Alex Fortey will show you the golf swing feel you need to try today.

If the backswing is only about rotation in the golf swing, you will always try and make a big shoulder turn in the backswing, but by doing this you will not hit longer drives or be more consistent with irons.
You need to feel the wind up of the backswing after a golf takeaway that enables a senior golf swing or a begginer golf swing to be more in sequence and less strain on the body.
So you do not want to pull arms across your chest in your golf taeaway and be very wary of just mindlessly following a youtube golf tip
Alex Fortey from the Art of Simple Golf gives you a simple golf tip to improve your golf swing Enjoy this golf video to help you get closer to having a perfect golf swing.. YOUR perfect golf swing

Honored to be the model for this video! Historically have fought the hook. Have a tendency to try to fix with technical thoughts and positions in trial by error mode. Usually goes south from there. Eventually, I find some combination that works for stretches, but the hook is always lurking. Met Alex a couple of weeks ago on the range in one of these sessions trying to find a combination that would work. He got me to "turn the core" and move "right shoulder up and back". These are more feels to me vs technical positions and were easier for me to digest and incorporate into my swing. Hook not conquered yet, but making great progress! Thanks Alex!
Rumbled lol ;)
Swing was looking way better yesterday and hope your round was solid today too.
Keep at it and keep the flow ;)
Cheers !
Thanks for being my “muse” Dave ;)
Awesome tip. Now to remember it when standing behind the ball!
@@MrKeesstevens1 yes indeed
@@MrKeesstevens1 yes indeed
Watched this yesterday. Tried it out on the course today, no practice. It worked well with irons, was hitting them much cleaner. But the real surprise was chipping and putting. By turning my rib cage and my arms as a unit, but not rigid, I was able to hit nice crisp chips, and putting was next level for both line and length. So thanks Alex.
Yes indeed! In fact a short game lesson is coming featuring somewhat of what you mention;) keep at it;)
Best video I’ve seen in a while. Hits home
Good to hear and hope it helps you!
This is too good for us to know. I’m pretty sure they’ll be coming for you Axle for giving stuff like this away. Well done!
Thanks Steve! Hope it helps you too;)
Do you do something similar to this my friend? Let me know below 👇 subscribe and get your free series below. Thanks for your support and sharing!
Yeah that’s me , I tend to struggle with this at times , great video can’t wait to try it thanks .
Let us know how you get on :)
I couldn’t find what was wrong at first because it looked like videos of my swing. The hardest thing is assessing one’s own swing which is what makes in-person instruction so valuable. Having just finished up a lesson working on the backswing I learned what was wrong, got several suggestions from my LPGA pro on how to fix it but just couldn’t do it physically, at least during the in-person lesson. But then I returned to your AOSG site and ran through all the backswing videos. Then on RUclips I ran into this excellent video. The combination of an in-person assessment followed by exercises, drills and ‘feels’ on video is the perfect recipe for improvement, along with some range work to lock the improvements in.
One ‘tell’ my instructor gave me was making sure I was pushing off on the inside of my left foot on the backswing. For whatever reasons, I was either just lifting the heel up or pushing off on the outside of the left foot (I’m a bit duck footed and very flat footed). During the lesson I just couldn’t get the inside of my left foot involved which indicated the backswing would be handsie and inconsistent at best. Watching your various backswing videos and practicing on the range provided the insight required to set the inside of my left foot pushing off for the backswing. That ‘tell’ indicates that I have the right ‘feels” for a good swing. But that’s just me.
Wish you would load your pay site with some of these videos more quickly. I find the ability to go through a whole series of backswing videos valuable but this one should be there already if it isn’t.
Indeed and very true! It sounds like you are on the right path for sure! Remember using the ground will help.
Yes, we add a new series every few weeks and some similar will be there.
Keep at it Bill!
Alex , credit where credit is due ! As a former T.P. , I know how good this instruction is ! As one who had too much emphasis on the forefinger and thumb in the right hand grip , I realized from your segment at the end that like Hogan said, to practice with them off the club for awhile . For me , it pulls the club up across the chest and really helps to get the left teet staying in front and a 3/4 backswing . Practicing w/ my driver into my outside net , spot on ! Thanks , John
Well that is good to hear and thanks for the validation on your part!. It really does make a big difference but rarely shared or taught. Or if it is, it’s confusing for many. Cheers!
This video is right on time. I was struggling at the range today as you described by placing the hands in position letting the arms cross over the chest. This is something that I struggle with. I like your description on how to fix it. I will work on this.
Super! Let us know how you get on!
An excellent video on a backswing fault Alex! I, for one, am guilty of this movement. I fall into a "stupor" of forgetting to rotate my core! This leads not only to weak shots but higher scores. I'll definitely have to keep reminding myself to "rotate the core" on the backswing as well as the downswing.
You don’t have to do it as much as you think, a short move can go a long way. Keep at it;)
Good and easy to follow instruction.
Glad you think so!
100% what I do. I can shoot under par and then the next day 85. I'm taking time away from golf right now so I can come back with a fresh feeling and clear mind.
That can help a lot!
I fixed this long ago and it made my swing infinitely better. I rotate around my spine in one solid move, hands arms chest and hips.
Well done and appreciate you sharing to encourage others too ;)
Great video Alex! This is exactly where I have struggled for years guess I need to get in front of the mirror and practice this over and over to break this awful habit
Let me know how it goes
Great video, I particularly like the 'swing and step-turn a quarter', good position practice aid!
Glad to hear that and enjoy testing it
Great lesson Alex..Thanks much all your videos.
Thank you!
Yes! I knew I was doing that. I started working on the shoulder turn a couple weeks ago. Definitely helps me bring the club through. The last 9 holes I played got a lot better once I got it figured out.
Wonderful! Keep at it
Definitely resonating with me, this was so in helpful thank you, so well explained!
Excellent to hear!
I’ll try that. Can’t wait for warmer weather
Excellent advice my teacher said one piece takeaway and never mentioned the rotation now I have seen the light thank you 🙏
That's what can mess many up
thanks for this, yes, I have been doing this snd despite doing all the other things right, this practice us a killer and why all my swings are different
Indeed they are. But humans respond the same way for most part. We all just built a little differently
Another gem of a video. Love it.
Cheers 🏆🏌️♂️
Makes sense especially for a senior golfer like myself.
Going to try to after lunch in North Carolinas.
Merry Christmas
Hope it went well !! Hope you’re having a good festive season ;)
Subbed to your channel bc you talk about the takeaway and backswing more than anyone else on yt, which for me, the first 2 foot of club head movement is the hardest part of the swing.
It’s certainly important. General flow and balance is perhaps more important but yes it can help a great deal!!
Yep. This is me. Thanks.
You're welcome
The stack and tilt, X-factor, one plane vs two plane concepts and the A-swing were very bad for golf instruction. This is so much more refreshing.
That’s exactly the goal!! Thanks 😊
Thank you for the tip!
More than welcome!
Interesting and simple to understand. Cool.
Started this last season and my ball striking most definitely improved.
👌🤙
Excellent!
Great video. It really helped my swing.
Excellent and keep at it
Alex, look forward to speaking with you more at the club… I’m the big guy who talked to you about your hogans on the range… Love simple concepts for golf and I’m always looking for an excuse to play.
Let’s get it sorted;)
Hit my problem on the spot. Great advice and drill. Enjoy your to the point instructional videos.
Many thanks !
I am doing exactly what you said not to do, that muscle memory is difficult to over come but it is going to be worth it Thank You!
Sorry to point it out but I’m confident it will help:)
Really excellent. Thank you
Appreciate that and hope it can make a difference to your game
Great advice, Alex. Thank you. I think that the split grip drill helps here. It makes it easier to groove the feel of the body leading the arms on the takeaway
Yes it does!
Glad I stumbled across this. I've been trying to focus on the "stack and tilt" which had actually caused me to come over the top. My misses are almost always a pull-hook now.
Too common! Hopefully this helps balance it out
Thank you for this “feel” drill …. It has done wonders for me
Oh excellent! 👍💪🏌️♂️🏆
Helpful simple tip that worked great, it felt like the correct motion & it helped my aim. I’m sharing the knowledge thanks
Super to hear and keep at it! 👍🏌️♂️
You have my attention with the half swing. Keeping the butt end of the club facing the stomach at the beginning of the backswing and follow through. This exercise also emphasizes a calm almost meditative approach to the golf swing. Just like John Schlee emphasized. He said that tense muscles can’t work. Now after yesterday’s round of golf ⛳️ I need to concentrate upon rhythm and timing in my swing. Yesterday I said I had a Hogan hook. Then I hit on the next hole with my three wood a wide arcing draw or hook that took off to the trees on the right side and drew back across the fairway to about 110 yards from the green. The three wood went as far as my best driver shot on the hole.
Interesting! Sounds like you are on the right road indeed. The 3 wood going further could mean you are delofting your driver a bit or too steep causing excess spin.
I esp like the way you always combine movements with emphasize on the dynamics (flow). I´ve spent a lot of time on the takeaway, but still can´t get my hands high enough at the top. Recently, I have also explored the impact pushing with my feet against the ground has on my swing. If I start the backswing pushing with my right foot (to stay centered), then swinging my arms back pushing down at the handle with my left hand and rotating my core, this feels like a counterforce (foot pushing toward the target, club swinging away from the target) that enhances the feel of dynamic motion. I was even able to use this as a trigger playing on the course, getting my left shoulder well under my chin (which is normally a problem for me). This also made is easier to get my arms higher by stretching my right elbow towards the top (not collapsing the elbow).
It sounds to me like you are on the correct path and those feels are good. But just focus on one for a while. Try not to get all right
Great tip! “The arms not crossing the chest” hit a chord with me. Thanks
It does with many! Hope it helps
Superb video Alex! This what I’m being taught at the moment. Really useful! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf subscribed 👍
Ahhhh, well there ya have it! Nice vid and probably best one out there!
Too kind but much appreciated;)
Yes this is exactly my problem, thanks for your video, I'll try out your tips
Good and let us know how it goes for you
This fantastic, I do it and see this a major problem, I see it all the time.
Well hopefully trying one or twin of the feels, you won’t be for too much longer ;)
Very good lesson sir!! 👌🙏
Cheers and hope it helps you:)
This is golf tip gold in my opinion.
It really can help a lot of folks:)
Exactly what I need. Thanks Alex
My pleasure and hope it helps you!
Question Alex. Past been very arms /hand eye focussed on ball. Little hip rotation. Result inconsistent great iron shots, woods hopeless. Now trying to correct and think of moving as a unit on the swing plane to reduce hitting down also trying to not rush backswing. Problem now all timing and tempo is out and hitting worse plus coming out of posture. Can you suggest a drill to help or do I just preserve until fixed.
Cheers John
Brilliant..........once again
Once again… thank you!
Great work, thanks for sharing 👍
More than welcome
I am realizing that if I start the backswing with my hands or shoulder I don’t swing correctly, but if I let mr core take the club back their is a big difference. It a great feeling and I think that is part of golf. It’s a feeling and all the parts of the body are working together . Thanks for the lessons
Yes that is a super feel! Thanks and glad you’re with us
Great for those that are fit or young, but I'm 63 and it's not quite so easy to turn like a pro golfer. I am working on my fitness with drills etc. Indeed I had a lesson recently and the pro said much the same thing as you Alex.
The feels should help a little here but we have plenty for this less flexible too
CBD oil
Yoga is great for golf - and general spine health 👍
Got the message…. Very cool
Hope it helps you;)
Great reminder. I saw another channel in which they showed, using "gears" how professionals maintain the relationship to within about an inch
Yeh, gears shies some nice validation. ;)
Great lesson
Cheers and hope it helps!
This is very insightful. Two weeks ago I played a round with the idea that I needed more wrist hinge, and I slapped the ball all over the course. I must have been making this exact mistake. Last week I focused on shoulder turn and kept wrists flexible. MUCH better.
Excellent. Glad you got there ;)
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf I think there’s a lot confusing stuff on RUclips. You can lose the big picture!!
Great tip .
Cheers
This is insightful. I learned to “create space” but realize I was using my hands and arms way too much to do so. The hands crossing idea is on the money. Be interested in more insight on stack and tilt, a practice a local pro said was bad need. Thanks for this.
Let us know if this helps
One of the best drills I was taught for this connected feeling was standing at right angles to a partner (or wall) and throwing them a medium size ball (similar to a golf swing for the physical setup) but WITHOUT throwing with your arms -- instead using your overall motion to "release" the ball towards them, with enough power for them to catch it, but without it being all about the arms being dominant and out of sync. Hard to explain but simple to do and helped me a lot to imagine the feeling of staying connected. Love your drill too where you pause, turn 45-degrees and then can place the club back down on the ground too.
I think I get what you are saying and I like it!
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Thanks! Yes, it's so much easier to see visually. Your arms kind of "lock in" to your body turn so it's all in sync, and you avoid "flicking" your arms to send the ball to your partner -- but instead use your whole body in unison. It was very easy but I think very powerful.
@@deanontheinterwebs indeed!
That my main problem !! Thank you
Hopefully this clears it up
This is really good in my view
Why thank you :)
Been Doing that for 30 year I'll give it a go and let you know!
Please do!
Alex,
Finally, I now know why I feel stuck and hook the ball. Thank you so much!! I will be practicing in getting the correct backswing.
You got this!
Mr. Fortey right on target as usual !
Too kind Mr Biase ;) hope it gives some good feels for you
That would be me, Alex! I always think about my hand & wrist hinge and don't turn my core or hips! Lots of hooks, shanks, and generally poor contact. Great video along with your best ever video, "Never worry about wrist hinge"! Thanks!
Hopefully not an issue for much longer! Keep at it:)
Wonderful video...
Cheers
nice lesson, i was doing this snd didn’t even know it
Too many do. For some it works just fine though. It’s just not all about big rotations for most.
Your video reinforced what I have been trying to do. I strike the ball with less effort when I try not let my hands cross the center of my chest.
Good to hear that.
I was watching a. Video earlier of a tour Pro and even he was doing the towel under the arm pitts, so just goes to show how easy it is to get out of shape, so very important.
Yes indeed. But actually have a video coming out this week on how and why that towel can be bad for folks;)
Tough game lol
Great again
Glad to hear you like it!
Very familiar for me.
Practice time with your tips 👍
Good! Let us know how you get in 🏌️♂️
To answer ur question at 5:30 into the vid.......not only does this look familiar to me....it actually IS ME!! LOL. Gotta say ur vids r helping me quite a bit! Thanks coach! (from halfway across the world!)
Oh cool! Glad to hear it and happy you are with us!
Definitely happens in my swing
Hope this helps a little
Most novice players don’t know about or consider how much the upper arm can move in the shoulder socket. You can take what looks like a a half swing just with arms swinging in the shoulders. This is normally the cause of rotor cup damage. What works for me to help avoid this is to press my shoulder down and forward. I discovered that feel using an impact bag.
That is good for sure
Sure gonna try this. Playing decent with driver and short irons, i think due to temp fixes, not comfortable. Hitting all my med to long irons starting low moving left, hate it. Thanks, gives me something new 2try.
Hope this helps!
You may remember me from Victoria British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 Chris. Need hip replacement things are slow because of Covid. Anyway took your tip with the right shoulder and relaxed my hands and hit it well. Just a small bucket for now but thanks. I only watch you and Danny Maude for tips and he had a similar idea as you did today. Thanks for keeping it Simple.
I do! And glad you are with us Chris!
I always look forward to your easy way of teaching. I am a feel player and can only keep one or two swing thoughts or I play like crap oops 😬. You look like a cricket teammate of mine back in the day. He is from South Africa slighter build but scored many a century and a wicked left arm spin Bowler. In the nets he had me tied up I was always searching. Roger played golf sparingly but would always break 90 so fun to play with and as he would say "is it"
@@chrissnape9537 wonderful! And I dabbled at cricket :)
There is a very good drill to cure that fault which is done with a kitchen boom. Grip the broom like a golf club but with the hands choked down and the butt end of the broom poked into belly. That literally forces the hands to turn with the shoulders and the cause and effect of the butt of the club pointing at the body is observed and felt.
In the golf swing hip turn is restricted by keeping the feet on the ground to about 45° closed in the the backswing and 45° open in the downswing, controllable to some degree by the flare angle of the foot. In the broom drill if swinging back with hips, shoulders and hands at the same time as everything including the hands forced by the broom in the gut to stay in front of the hands has reached the 45° limit the hips can turn without lifting the front heel the momentum will swing the heavy head of the broom up and force the butt end of the club to pop out of the gut, hinge the wrists and swing the club up to the ideal parallel at the top position AUTOMATiCALLY. During the downswing move the exaggerated leverage and mass of the broom will AUTOMATICALLY swing the the butt of the club back into the belly as the shoulders come back to parallel with the target line and keep it there until the hips reach 45° and are stopped by resistance from the front leg being restricted by the back foot staying down. Releasing the back heel frees the hips and caused the momentum to again hinge the wrists and pop the butt end out, but only after the momentum has pulled the arm straight. The broom automatically swings up and around pulling right arm, shoulders and hip square to the target.
The brilliant part about using the broom for this drill not just a piece of PVC pipe as some do is that the broom once swinging generates more force that even the Incredible Hulk could generate to try to steer it on a path other than the one dictated by the laws of physics.
It teaches via the feedback of the butt end popping out, reconnecting and popping out again that letting the physics and mass of the club head steer the hands, arms and body not the other way around is the best strategy for a consistent and well balanced swing path. BALANCE AT ALL POINTS IN THE SWING is really the key factor for consistent ball striking. It happens automatically if the golfer simple executes the first twelve inches / 25 cm of the backswing on a low, wide sweeping path which for wedges and irons is the path the club swings back on if allowed to hang freely at address.
It also is a fantastic drill for posture and balance because the length and weight of the broom exaggerates the same unbalancing forces the subconscious brain must reflexively deal with using a combination of muscle contraction, leverage and shifting of body mass in the opposite direction. The action of pronating and swinging the club too fair inside (a fault I had as beginner is actual the brain’s intuitive solution for staying in balance when the takeaway move starts to pull a golfer off their feet. It accomplished that in the backswing but will put the golfer out of balance with hands out of position at the top of the backswing resulting in and unbalanced over the top axe swinging chopping movement. The weight of the broom forces the subconscious brain of the golfer to figured out how to brace the feet on the insteps, angle the legs, laterally shift the hips and tilt the upper body mass to counter the way the club WILL pull the body off balance.
The biggest balance problem and one the reflexive brain can’t deal with fast enough is when the club whips around the hands between the time the shaft comes back level with ground (and gravity) and impact. What the golfer must learn to do via practice and drills like with the broom is to get the body prepared to counter that force BEFORE it occurs which is why action to transfer support to the inside of the left foot is BEFORE the club whips around the hands it critical for staying in balance during impact. Another strategy for balance at impact is to start at address with balancing back on the heels not the balls of the feet anticipating how the force will pull the entire body mass towards the toes and target during impact.
Hogan’s set-up routine was to grip the club in the air with bent elbows down which forces the forearms to counter rotate as the club is lowered and the arms straighten. That literally forces the hands to stay in front of the body during the takeaway just like the broom in the gut does. After lowering the club by hinging at the hips / and letting it hang in the air Hogan let it swing in toward the body, adjusting spine angle and legs until it would swing back from ball and towards it on the same perfectly balanced arc, the same wide low sweeping one he swung his clubs back on. The counterbalancing effect of the club hanging far over the toes is what allowed him to sit down backwards without falling over, keeping lower legs vertical for ideal leverage to push back against the force which pulls unprepared golfers on their toes during impact.
If you are on your toes at impact it means your entire body was pulled off balance and your swing plane has tilted and move club head outside of ball more than at your address position putting the club on the path which creates a SLICE ball flight. Lack of side bend to the right in the downswing will also allow the club force to pull the hands out from the body causing a SLICE. A slice is always the result of the club head being outside the ball and swiping inwards across it tilting the backspin axis like the wing of an airplane in a left-to-right banked turn \ Five minutes a day for a week swinging a kitchen broom will cure that slice problem by teaching your SUBCONSCIOUS brain how to deal with the constantly changing unbalancing force PROACTIVELY to stay in balance start to finish. ‘
Credit for the broom drill goes to Hank Johnson, author of “Winning The Three Games of Golf: The Swing, The Shot, The Score”
Yes and old school good drill
This makes the turn so much easier
That’s the goal ;) hope it help
I’ve been told I have a reverse pivot and resulting shot is ugly. I was taught to move the club first then the arms, then the hips. I’m going to try your suggestions. Like especially the concept of the chest moving and right shoulder higher
Allow hips to turn behind and up too ;)
Best tutor on RUclips FULL STOP!
Much appreciated!

Hi Alex - for the second time you have hit on the very fault that has been bugging me. I am guilty of trying to place the club into the first club parallel position and then turning. This has been destroying my timing. Having watched your video I now understand why this is happening. I think part of my problem is that I open the club face too early to reach this position and as you say allow the left arm to pass my centre point.
On a related issue should i be keeping the club face/back of the left hand looking longer at the ball on the way back? I tend to open, pronate I think is the term, my wrists early and have tried keeping the back of my left (leading) hand looking at the ball which seems to help me rotate much better and sqare the club face better at impact. Great videos, good common sense stuff. You are my go-to RUclips golf coach now, keep up the excellent videos - thanks!
Yes it’s sounding like you have found the core challenge you deal with. I think this will help along with the wind up backswing feel etc too. Less is more. Thank you for kind words and glad you’re with us. Next step is The Club :)
Great video. Anyone else think they were listening to the music of Napoleon Dynamite in the beginning?
I’ve never watched that but I know I should
i was/am having issues with the backswing and sequence of the whole swing. i was always stuck /out of time thinking about straight arm,hip rotation ,hinge angle etc which then lost any monentum and caused lower then expected swing speed. i recorded myself using onform and did what i thought was 25% backswing ,turns out was 90%- full swing, just faster with all correct positions and sequence . so now i start my hip rotation and foreward swing soon as i start with the backswing and do what feels like no backswing / auto pilot kicks in. its logical really ...it takes 100-300 ms for your brain to act on a thought, i assume with practice that feeling/timing will be later in backswing.
Little bit of a push off from the lead foot into the backswing is my main feel to get a synched up swing. Lower body leads the way. During the practice swing, swinging a bit into the front first to initiate some torque to take into the backswing.
This is actually the main thing I've been working on and it seems to result in much more consistent low point control (my main problem, historically) and better impact/compression.
I like the sound of that for sure! Keep at it
Hey Alex I tried Stack and Tilt no Bueno for me !! Trying to get my shot back on track but still finding myself pushing right on irons? (Face Open)
Ball forward, more spine tilt at address and just feel palm of trail hand towards ground more. Got one coming this week on this:)
I, too am a model for you! Great points here. I also don't bend(tilt) enough resulting in being too flat. Do you have any lessons addressing not tilting enough?
Hopefully we can rectify this… also we have some tilt backswing. Left chest down feel
I find that having a slight sway to the left as the first movement helps with tempo and prevents problems on the takeaway. I am mid 50s and core flexibility is not as it once was.
Excellent!
That's me!
Maybe not for much longer ;)
Im guilty of trying to get my hands into a certain position, I rotate when my hands get to that position which leads to a hook.
I needed this video
Seems so simple....... I hope!
Hopefully this can help!
Thank you
My understanding is the sequence : turn rib cage then right shoulder go up a bit then the hip turn last, is this right?
If Alex doesn’t answer this , I say, if you do the things shown here , you might not have to think about what your hips are doing ! John
That sequence is correct.. BUT... many do a lot better with momentum starting from feet and hips. ruclips.net/video/Y9Y56-c-dOk/видео.html should help
Yes so familiar
This might help you then :)
100% me. Focused on setting the hands in backswing and swinging too far back. Love the simplicity of this and will give it a go. Thank you!
Good to hear and let us k ow how you get on!
Will do and thank you!!!
Brilliant video mate, this is exactly my problem,love the feeling of right shoulder up ,can I use this drill for driver.
Good to hear! Thanks
💯 bang on
Cheers!
I think I will like practicing with the right arm along with moving the right shoulder going up a few inches as described. I can do this some in my house on a rainy day like today. It's rained all week and will continue into next. :(
It will help to do those for sure and yes, it’s great to have some things to work on at home !
I think I swing the arms across my logo. Alot of the time I feel like my hands don't catch up with my shoulders and I hit lots of thin shots with the irons. Will this help with thin shots?
Sounds likely. Try this and also check your grip is not weak or another reason for an open clubface.
VERY familiar!
Hope this helps
what about using an 8 inch ball between the arms to keep the structure throughout the backswing and impact?
We have the structure ball promotion with Watson golf. Follow link in description and We have a video that displays it.
Use This EASY Golf Swing | This TRIANGLE Swing Will Clear Your Confused Brain On The Course
Would you show us your grip in detail . That would be appreciated ! Thanks
Will do
This is something I have been doing for a long time , I am moving the arms and top half of my body first on the backswing then the hips much later and I end up over the top on the down swing, drives have been going nowhere as hitting the heel, very frustrating
Well I expect the feels here can help you a great deal. Try them out and let us know :)
