BACKSWING SIMPLIFIED! // EASY Tips for ALL Golfers!

[@arthurlawrence9790]

Hi Andrew from South Africa, your teaching method is a revelation for me. I am 82 have had back issues for years. I am not going to criticise all the other Utube coaches they have their coaching styles. Long story short, I can now swing a club again with great results pain free. 😊

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Thank for sharing this comment! To hear that you’re playing golf pain free is wonderful! Have fun out there and enjoy your golf! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

Charleston humidity is a summertime killer! Good golf swing information.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

It was 111 (F) heat index that day! Scorching hot.🥵

Stono Ferry right? I played the course 12 years ago as a stop on a roadtrip tour through the Southeast. As a Dutchman, first time in my life I had to deal with Bermuda grass, and it got me completely confused :-) Fluffy stuff growing sideways, I was at first convinced it was some species of moss, LOL.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

@@pbode1The Links at Stono Ferry - about 20 miles west of downtown Charleston. Great spot! And, yes dealing with “super grain” is an experience that is unbelievable for most! 🤣

@AndrewEmeryGolf I'll swap you for a luke warm Surrey, UK.

Really astute and useful advice. The right arm box has been a big help to me as a mental image or thought during the swing. It may seem counter to so much other instruction, but in fact the right arm (for a right hander) controls the swing while the left arm almost seems to be along for the ride. And as you show here, at the start of the backswing it should feel like you are swinging the club in a straight line. As you show, one should not pull it back around the corner thinking that is necessary to make a rotary swing. What actually happens is that as the arms raise up and the shoulders turn, voila, the hands will automatically end up above and a bit behind the shoulders with the shaft on plane.

Yes sir!! Salient points all around. Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

awesome video for backswing. pl give a similar feel/drill for the release.

Again, most excellent! Will take a few views to get it all down -- yes, with club in hand, again mostly done without hitting a ball. Thank You!

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Thanks for watching! Best, A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@steves3422]

Another game changer, worked this with the video at home. Then to the range, loosened up the swing and gained yards and easier to stay back to the target. Thank You - Again!!

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

You’re welcome Steve! Glad it helped. Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@djdibibar516]

Andrew, you must be clairvoyant. This is exactly what I’ve been working on, getting wrists set earlier and club more vertical. Been dragging around the corner and laid off. Been using the wall drill to change pattern. Your statement on how far back the one piece is really helps! Thanks!

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

That’s great to hear! Get after it! Best, Coach A.🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

Great tip toward the end about effective practice. Always look forward to your videos on Saturday mornings.

[@davemurray9533]

Andrew, do you do the same early wrist hinge and “box it up” with your 3-wood and driver? It feels great with my irons, but I can’t do it very well with the longer clubs.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

The trick is to make sure that you have good arm structure “at the top!” If your intention is to hinge with the 3 wood and you’re picking the club up without creating depth with a good pivot then you’re going to struggle! It’s critical that your lead shoulder gets behind the ball with the longer clubs to ensure a more shallow AOA! I’d rather you pivot the club going back with no early hinge than early hinge with no pivot if that makes sense! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@davemurray9533]

@@AndrewEmeryGolf That makes sense. I think I was trying to make my wrist hinge on the wedge and the driver the same, and it just didn't work. I'll definitely try to get a full turn with more depth on the longer clubs, and see how that goes. Thanks!

[@mikerobinson3551]

I think I know the answer but just to be certain the early wrist hinge you discussed applies to every club in the bag including driver, correct? I think I was so concerned about width, especially with driver, I was collapsing at the top leading to every type of horrible shot imaginable.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

Wrist hinge without support from the body is likely worse than club drag with support, in particular with the driver so be careful you don’t pick the club up too soon! Having said that I like getting the trail arm structure set with all clubs by chest high in the backswing! From there you can simply wind and STRETCH to add some width! Best, Coach A. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️🙏🏻

[@mikerobinson3551]

@@AndrewEmeryGolf thank you for the reply and that makes perfect sense. You make understanding the swing mechanics so logical and practical for taking to the course.

[@topgunbass]

Thats some nice skill you have to be able to pause then hit. When i pause to long its hard for me to hit it.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

It takes some practice and helps if you have the club in a great position. Use a mirror or camera to check! Best, A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻

[@pbode1]

4:53 is gold. I recently started setting my wrist earlier, and that is very much the feel I recognize, almost as if the clubhead propels itself to the top giving my arms just too little time to take the club too far back inside (my pattern for 20 years). I just need to be sure I keep my knuckles down and not fall into the trap to extend the lead wrist when I hinge. Still my hips open more slowly in the downswing than I would ideally like, but getting there to get rid of the last of my small scooping habit, I think I have difficulty timing the push using the ground force to push my lead hip back (on video it looks like I push up just before or at impact and not before, aka way too late), a video on that timing would be very welcome. For sure I compress the ball better than ever before, much thanks to the explanations on your channel.

[@AndrewEmeryGolf]

What I’ve found useful rather than trying to get open is to simply feel like at the point of collision I’m crushing a bug under my left heel. I’ve found with this simple thought that my lead knee and quad naturally react which helps me rotate a lot better. If you lack hip mobility then attempting this will cause more harm than good (EE!). Rotating the lead foot open will NATURALLY help most golfers create more depth at impact! I should mention that most golfers obsess over lower body dynamics and leave their arms at the start line! I would advise educating your hands and arms first and then integrate GRF! Best, Coach A. ⛳️🏌️‍♂️🙏🏻
