Hi
During my backswing I roll on my left foot(right handed). I was wondering if that is alright thing to do during the backswing.

thanks

Its fine In fact, Nicklaus and Vijah do this. Key to making this move is making sure that while your feet roll they don't move so much that you can't get them back to their original position.

I roll it back towards my right foot during the backswing. The reason I do this is because I feel like it helps my set up for a better downswing.

My instructor has had me start doing that in order to help me fully transfer my weight to my right side on the backswing. If it helps you, keep doing it.

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
