Help, hitting the ball good, but my back swing is so short,

This is me hitting a full 7 iron, I hit my 7 iron about 185meters on the fly, no problem with power.

Not a technical comment, but...

Why would you worry about the lenght of your backswing if you're getting the ball flight and contact you want?  Heck I'd use a putter off the tee if I could consistantly get the shot I want out of it.

Quick tempo isnt always bad but if it turns into hurkey jerky through the course of the round then i would work on it.

The only way i know to change my tempo in a way where i can keep it consistent throughout the course of a round is to count in my swing.

Such as:

OOONNEE-TWO-THREEEE

1 being my backswing, 2 being the transition and 3 being my downswing.

Thats the way i do it, im sure some people would go ONNEEE-TWOOOO

I do come back to this from time to time if i start to feel that i am getting too quick,

185m (202 yrds), do you play at La Paz Country Club or on the high veldt. Next thing you will be telling everyone that the All Blacks are a lock for the RWC.

    • I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.
    • Day 11: Putts with a metronome and worked on some feels for greenside shots.
    • I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well. 
    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.  
    • Day 2 - range session. Focus on tempo. Not as good as last time, but good.
