Golf Backswing Tips For Improving Your Golf Swing Technique

Improve Your Golf Backswing With These TipsChicago golf lessons and Instruction
A good backswing consists of a proper golf swing takeaway, full shoulder turn, and getting into a proper position at the top of the swing.

The takeaway is a one piece motion with the hands, arms, and shoulders all working together and taking the golf club back. The shoulders should turn 90 degrees in a full backswing. Your hips will only turn half that distance, or 45 degrees.

Your lower body should stay stable during the first half of the backswing. This will allow your shoulders to turn halfway and you'll wind up or coil your upper body against your lower body. This leads to a better golf swing sequence as well as more power.

Maintaining good golf swing tempo is also really important in the backswing. Taking the club back smooth helps to start the swing tempo out right. Rushing the backswing can lead to problems on the downswing. Good tempo in the golf swing will also allow you to stay more balanced and swing the club on the proper path.
