First Move - What Starts the Backswing?

Posted by Todd Mann | 11/11/2009

It is important to begin the backswing correctly because the path that the backswing takes will dictate how well the shot is executed.

To begin a smooth backswing, the first move should be a subtle kick of the right hip to the right. That motion should set off a chain reaction where a one piece take away follows with a weight shift.

Work on bumping the hip to the right (for right-handed players) to begin the backswing. Let the bump act as a trigger that occurs every time to build consistency.
