AWESOME BACKSWING ROTATION DRILL

Rotating correctly in the backswing can often sound easy, but so many golfers struggle with this move leading to poor strikes and ball flights.

Here Chris shows you a simple drill that can be done anywhere which can help you better understand and feel what a good rotation is for your backswing.

This is a great exercise to help visualise a good back swing. The first time it I was amazed how my legs automatically did the right this and I kept centred on the ball. Need to try it now when I’m not in the living room.

Excellent instruction thank you. Never heard the backswing explained in that manner. I look forward to putting in in practice. Thank you for sharing.

This is something I am working on at the moment. It is always useful hearing different people describing their ideas about to make these movements, so thanks for posting this video.

[todpharis]

Best tip I have ever heard to explain rotation. Thank you.

Nice one Chris. Similar to something Padraig was saying last year. He likened it to pulling back on a bow with your right hand. Basically the same move as you talk about.

Although I always understood the idea behind a centered rotation I heavily struggled to not sway in my backswing, irrespective of swing thoughts and all the practice I put in. This has been going on for years. This "loan mower" idea worked extremely well for me yesterday. I even had really nice ball turf contacts with divots after the ball and penetrating ball flights. I am excited. Looks like you just cured my low point issue in one video! Thanks, Chris!!!

Great explanation of the concepts. It really helped me understand better the rotation required. Thanks!

To each his own and this certainly will be a good guide for some. I though have found nothing better than focusing on keeping my right hip high. My brain processes this perfectly as everything falls into place. With lots of speed comfort and balance too; that’s the bonus.

What a simple but highly effective looking drill. Thanks Chris

As always Chris excellent content, really simple concept for the experienced golfer and a beginner to grasp. 😊

[gordonsteen]

Really great concept Chris. Pulling the cord is not an explanation of come across before but that's a great way of explaining it, well done another brilliant video

[robmills]

I'll be working on this next time at the range thank you Chris

[trevorw]

Excellent video, this is one of my ongoing challenges and look forward to giving the drill a try at the range

[fiachralally]

This is one of your best and simple videos ever 👍

[rwldebruijn]

Love this metaphor! Though I always seem to feel and even want to feel a little lateral movement in my backswing.

[sirtogii]

Great visual and feels to get this part right

[jeffusgailmorris]

Any chance you could do a post on playing in autumnal weather and how to get better distance for those of us you play all year round?? Another informative video

[BRIANFAIRBROTHER]

Simply outstanding. Start of the video sums up my fault that I have had for 30 years

[daveweedall]

Great tip Chris, lateral movement was a big problem with me. Been working on it a couple of weeks now, and my drives are a lot straighter now
