Backswing question and ideas?

[Chilidipper]

On my backswing my shoulder line/plane is to flat so when I come through I hit the ball thin. Any ideas or training methods to help get me to get my hands up more and my right should up more. Im a righty btw.

Stand in a more upright position

I've had good results by keeping this thought in my head.

"right thumb in my right ear"

form the address position with your backside just touching a wall. now slowly make the swing (if you are flat you will hit the wall with your club). maybe try it with just a shaft or a stick - anything to get that movement going.



i used to be very flat as a kid and this is one of the tips i picked up off a pro. I tried it again recently - i would still hit the wall but i like to be a little flat at the top - just like sergio ;)

Guys thanks a lot very good information!

Stand up right did a bit of something. My legs where still bent but I keep my posture up more. I really like the thumb in the ear it really was easy to make that move with that thought. And thanks for the wall trick you are absolutely right. I forced myself to take a swing that I normally break down to on the course and wham right into the wall.
