Here’s a fun convo I had with Joseph regarding his backswing, and how getting out of position has negatively affected his path & attack angle.
We played a 2v2 match earlier in the week and he was really struggling his pulls & low point control, mainly due to the fact that he was leaning towards the target and lost some upper body rotation on the way up. Our discussion lead to an understanding that this likely came from a lot of speed work and how he was instinctively changing his backswing pivot to swing faster.
If your torso doesn’t rotate, it gets real easy to collapse the arms, get long, and then come down steep due to a lack of hand depth. In short, our focus was on not only creating a bigger turn, but feeling like his lead shoulder was lining up over his trail foot at the top of his backswing.
That feel moves his swing direction outward, both getting his club path more inside out but also his attack angle more shallow. A very necessary adjustment!
Apologies in advance for the poor audio and camera framing. This started out as a placement for me to hit some shots before he came asking for help, and I didn’t have a mic on but wasn’t about to ruin the flow of our discussion. Enjoy ✌️
