This is something I can say that is critical in my swing.The backswing just sets you up for a great downswing. I have the tendency to try to stay too centralised and it wasn't until I saw a video of my backswing that I noticed a slight reverse pivot at the top. So what I thought was a full turn was actually bad positioning.When it's right it feels shorter less effort and the divots are shallow and it feels like I have time because my left side hasn't collapsed. That means your left side drops and then compensations have to be made on the way down to get your secondary spine angle back. Anyone else struggled with this and how much difference did it make when you truly stayed behind the ball by not losing your angles?

Would help to post a video of your swing, but I think I have a similar issue.

In the couple short lessons I had, one of the biggest criticisms I got was that I was going way too far in my back swing. He told me to take "half a back swing", and showed me the video... I was like 90% of my normal swing; but didn't throw off other things.

Have you tried recording your 'shorter' backswings?

I have a record function on my tablet just waiting for a nice day to go outside and film it. I've done some mirror work and got the feel of it. Wanted to bed it in for a couple of weeks before filming the results. I also have had a few sessions in my net to ingrain it. Definitely feels different so I'm hopeful that I'm on the right track. Never uploaded a video here so will have to do it.

    • Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.
    • Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.
    • That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
    • This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
    • He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
