Flat Swing Cure?? Help Needed!

[eugekhan]

Hello - wanted to see if anyone had some thoughts/drills/videos or know of any training aids that help get rid of a flat back swing.

My hands at the top of the backswing just finish a few inches over my right shoulder and my arms are at <45 degree angle. My arms are very stuck behind my body as well.

I'd like to get a steeper backswing plane and my arms more out in front of my chest. 

Any input would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Probably worthwhile to put this in a “my swing” thread with videos of your swing.

If you really think this is what you want to work on, I like this video and drill. But I agree with @Missouri Swede that you should also post a video of your swing to get proper feedback on priority pieces.

This, yes, but also…

And I'll say this, too:

• The turning is responsible for the depth, primarily.
• The elbow folding and coming off your chest is responsible for the height.

A lot of people just roll their forearms to take the club away. They get flat, and often oddly across the line at the top.
