The Key To A Complete Backswing #golfswing #golftips

Many golfers never reach a full shoulder turn — not because they’re stiff, but because they start too open at setup.
Think about it like this; If you begin with your shoulders 20° open, you’ve already lost part of your turn before you even start.
By squaring up to 0° and turning fully back to 90°, you’ll create more coil, more power, and better consistency.

To get the most out of the driver, we need this big turn in the back swing. But there could be one thing that you’re doing in your setup which is making things hard for you. If we think about it, ideally, let’s say we’re starting at 0°, we want to be winding up to around about 90°. But what about if you were set up and you were 20° open? So, as opposed to starting at zero, you actually go 20° open. You’ve now got to turn 110° to get that full 90. And the chances of that happening are a little bit harder. And this actually was born from a lesson I had the other day. We see this happen all the time, by the way. Shoulders were open, swing itself was quite nice, but because the shoulders were open, the back swing didn’t turn enough, and then the club would swing down and cut across it, hitting slices. As soon as we squared him up and actually got him from 0 degrees to actually maybe like 10° closed, it was so much easier from there for him to get this full 90 degree turn and then just allow the club to slot down on plane a lot better. So, make sure when you’re setting up to it, you’re not setting up open if you’re trying to get a bigger
