The fourth lesson in this 'golf lessons online' section, is about learning the correct backswing movement. Once you have taken your proper stance, you are ready to start the backswing, a smooth controlled movement.
1. Start by moving the clubhead away, so it moves along the target line for the first 18 inches of the backswing.
2. A smooth takeaway is crucial for setting a good swing tempo.
3. Ensure that your left shoulder, left arm and your shaft are moving together.
4. As the backswing starts, your body weight should shift over to your right foot, with the left knee staying flexed throughout the backswing.
5. The turning of your hips and shoulders, will then move the clubhead naturally, up to the top of the backswing on a wide arc.
6. It is very important that the hips do no sway backwards ? they should simply turn around the core of the body.
7. At the top of the backswing, the shaft should be parallel to the ground and pointing directly at the target, with the left arm extended ? the right arm should be bent and relaxed.
8. Most of your weight is now on your right foot, your hips have turned about 45 degrees, your shoulders about 90 degrees and your back should be facing the target.
