Here’s how to improve your backswing with a few simple drills…
There are 2 main things you need to know about and improve your backswing.
#1 – Controlling your body’s turn.
#2 – Controlling the movement of your arms.
In this video Matt Walter shows us 2 drills which cover each of these points.
How to Stop Over the Top Swings
Over the Top swing plane refers to a path that is above the swing plane on the downswing. The over the top path produces an out-to-in swing path, which imparts an unwanted spin on our ball. The result is typically a weak-right or slice. Instead, we need an in-to-out swing path.
Where I see players go off the swing plane the most is in the transition. So, let’s get your transition on the “inside to more solid shots” path!
How to Time Your Golf Swing
These golf swing timing drills are designed to help you with one of the most important aspects of consistently hitting solid shots.
Golf swing timing is one of the elements of swing dynamics, along with rhythm, tempo and balance.

You can’t just go running up to the ball and crush it! Rick Smith has some great tips and pre-swing fundamentals to help you get ready to hit that ball.
Knowing how to start the takeaway is such an important aspect of the golf swing because this motion sets you up for the rest of the swing.
If you know how to start the takeaway then you give yourself the best opportunity to make a solid backswing and keep the overall swing as simple as possible. A simple backswing makes the downswing easier to repeat which will produce more consistent golf shots.
Golf Downswing Sequence
If you want to make your best golf swings then you need to swing from the ground up in your golf downswing.
Here is a really simple way to get you doing this and to improve your order of movement during your golf downswing sequence, allowing you to hit longer and strike more consistently with every swing.
CONTROL THE CLUB FACE
In today’s video Top Teacher Steve Atherton shows a couple golf tips to control the club face that will help you hit straighter shots by having the club face in the proper impact position.
Chin and Shoulder Separation in the Golf Swing Transition:
What I want to talk about today is separation and specifically, separation between the chin and the shoulder in the golf swing transition or when I’m starting forward.
What happens too often is when people try to pull down with their shoulders and don’t get the lower body to shift correctly, the chin and the shoulder kind of pull together which creates this over-the-top move. The main reason for this is most people’s power source comes from their shoulders, comes from their chest, from the top of the swing, they’re using their arms and shoulders to create that speed.
In today’s video I’ll show you a golf swing transition drill where your chin and shoulder separate as your club drops into the slot to start the downswing.
