Nick Faldo backswing drill is the first one on the list to get that perfect backswing position
Club to right shoulder drill – for that amazing position at the top of your golf swing.
Lastly a very complicated backswing drill but it’s elite for that short control wedge swing that you need for dialling in your pitching control!

Hello and welcome back to Josh YouTube today we’re going to be talking about three back swing drills that help me get the perfect back swing now there’s no such thing as a perfect back swing but these are three positions at the top that are going to be pretty neutral and
Around about that so-called perfect position now these are all individual to you as a player there’s no such thing in golf as the right or wrong thing to do and as I say always in my videos these are my opinions these are free positions
At the top of the back swing that I like to feel but there might be something completely different for you so let me know in the comments what you like to feel to get to the top of the back swing and these fre drills hopefully will help
You get to that perfect position okay so number one is going to be a Nick FDO special um he’s got multiple videos on YouTube of him saying this um and I actually really enjoy this drill for me it works pretty well um but this drill is simply going to be into your setup
Position position you’re then going to hinge the wrist up you’re then going to roll them here and then turn to the top now that’s something that works for him um and is quite a neutral position I’d say um for someone that’s maybe got a stronger grip they might enjoy going to
The top and feeling that kind of move as I speak about the wrists angle the time different arm structures but this one’s a pretty neutral position so you’re going to go to the setup hinge up roll 90° and turn to the top let’s hit a few balls like
That so as you can see that last shot that we hit was dead straight um I as I say I really like this drill um really quick and easy one to do uh very simple hinge up roll turn thny as you like but still pretty
Straight um for me I I like it it gives me a good feeling of where I need to be at the top and um if Nick F did it it might it might work for me you know so uh yeah I like this drill just go one more hinge up roll
Turn little bit draw on that one um and for me it’s kind of like I like doing these drills to get the fill and then do the back swing if that makes sense so what I’m going to do now is I’m going to go hinge roll turn get that feel have a
Little look in the mirror I see where I want to be and then I’m going to replicate it over this one so I like doing the back swing drills um as a fill and then once we’ve got that feeling at the top I’ll then try and
Replicate that in a full motion swing as it’s quite hard for me I’ve never been a guy that’s paused at the top so when you get that pause at the top it’s like for me I’m like where the hell am I in my golf swing um I like it being all one
Fluid motion so yeah these back swing drills might work better for you if you do them in all fluid motion so that’s the first one let’s dive straight into the second one okay I don’t know who invented this one um but it’s always been one that I’ve done on my Tik Tok um
And always blown up you know it’s it’s a drill that everyone loves so this one’s really really easy as well you’re going to go into your setup you’re going to bring the club to your right shoulder you’re then going to rotate the shoulders 90° and extend the arms and look at that
Position there beautiful so a really quick and easy one I love that drill so so much and it resonates with a lot of people they can do that drill at home on the driving range and replicate that fill very quickly so we’re going to go set up right shoulder rotate
90° extend the arms look at that back swing beautiful so right shoulder rotate 90° extend the arms so as you can see again pretty straight ball flight with that first one right shoulder rotate 90° extend the arms wow little bit pulling tough to get the club faing control but
As you can see another good strike probably not going to go perfect but it gives you that good feel to get into that position at the top so let’s go same again as I do with all of these drills we’re going to get into our setup we’re going to replicate the drill right
Shoulder 90° extend the arms have a little look in the mirror get that feeling of where you want the back swing and then we’re going to do that exact same feel in a full motion golf swing and there we go tidy little drawer a lot straighter than that one that we
Did in the drill but you know for me again it works it’s a really good feel to the top of the back swing and hopefully that helps you as well so let’s dive into this last one a little bit more complicated but this one is quite a good feeling for me with the
Wedges I love this one for the wedges so let’s jump straight into it okay last but not least this one’s a bit complicated but we’re going to go shaft into the belly button okay we’re then going to move the club to our right leg we’re then going to turn the wrist
Hing him to 90° this club similar position to the Nick f one and then turn to the top this one’s a really similar on to the Nick F but I think this transfers a bit of weight to this right side and gets you a little bit more more
Over here good position and for me it shortens it as well so when I do this one it’s a little bit shorter with the back swing as you can see there it’s a little bit of a shorter back swing that’s why I really like it for the wedges so let’s
Hit a couple with that and see how we get on the reason why this one I think works so well for a lot of people is because you can’t hit balls like it it’s just a feeling to get that back swing in that good position so you know we’re in
That good position here with can then take a normal grip of the golf club and replicate that exact same feel so into the belly button to the right leg roll the wrist to the top and I think this one does work so well because it’s just a feeling you know I’m
Going to replicate that exact same feel now and beautiful golf shot this one might even stay on that Center Line pretty close so that’s three back swing drills they all help me get that good feeling to the top of the back swing now there’s no such thing as the perfect
Back swing but these are three that are certainly going to put you in a better position than maybe what you were before so if you did enjoy that video please be sure to like And subscribe I hope this one helps see you all for the next one

Re: that second drill — don't think it originated from him but Chuck Martin discusses this drill in his course at Performance Golf. It's been a minute since I watched it, but iirc, he referenced someone else that runs golf (coaching?) seminars (or used to).
