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.

    • You can't retroactively declare such a thing. If Dave had driven up to him after he took his drop and before he hit, and the first thing he said was "I know, I took an unplayable" Dave would have said "oh, okay, please proceed" and would have made sure the drop was good and he could play on. That's not close to a serious breach considering what you said above: for one stroke he could have gotten an unimpeded swing. He paid two to get the same thing. And generally speaking, he could have hit his ball a few feet to the side with the same one stroke and had an unimpeded swing.
