If you want more pars and more distance, let's make sure that you are REALLY making a backswing. Many players struggle with fully turning their back to the target. A popular reason with my students, is that they lose their sense of space…it get's weird back there. So, instead, they end up not turning. Here's the fix and the whys so you can get back there without getting weird.

  1. Well explained. You're very easy to follow. I wish you had a school or did site lessons. Videos are great but nothing beats hands on training and instant feedback. Thanks for your videos though. They're excellent.

  2. Thank you, last week I struck the ball better than ever and it was simple as not a full body (chest) turn. Amazing how everything is about the fundamentals.

  3. I hadn't played for two years because of back problems. Three weeks ago I began playing again but my drives have been pretty bad. This was the exact video I needed! Thank you so much!!!!

  4. Just got back from the range before the rain. Yes indeed ..this is a great tip. I am a pretty big guy …6'1' 250 lbs. so I can generate power with my arms. But with your tip …I realize that is not the engine of the golf swing for full shots. Without a full shoulder turn there is no power …no centrifugal force. A full shoulder turn includes a full chest turn. You have succinctly and eloquently explained this vital detail which has been missing in my swing and which I only occasionally have stumbled upon with feel ..but then fall out of it because I never understood what I was doing when it "felt" right. Coming over the top and all the other mistakes you have described in this video was driving me bonkers…you did a good imitation of my swing!! It was driving me bonkers..so thanks again!!!

  5. WOw…you just described my issue of swinging the golf club for the last 30 years!!! Amazing. Keeping the arms tight to the chest and using the chest to move the club when starting the back swing…best tip ever!!!!. I am just heading out the door to go the driving range and will be working on this. I know my body and chest move exactly as you show when you don't turn enough. Coming over the top..etc. I could never figure it out. Thank you soooo soo much!!!!! Nick from Canada!!!
