Fix My Swing: Perfect Backswing Drill

Written By Adam Fonseca

In the second video of our Fix My Swing series, I work on a drill to get my backswing on plane on the way back. Using an alignment rod on the ground laying along my target line, I focus on taking the club back so the clubhead "rides" the alignment rod. As soon as my golf club is parallel to the ground, I hinge my wrists so that the butt-end of the grip points down toward the alignment rod. This helps me shorten my backswing in addition to taking the club back on more of an inside path.
