Set Swing Plane

The key to hitting straight shots starts with the backswing. If you start your golf swing incorrectly, it is very difficult to compensate for this with your downswing and through impact.

In this tip, we rebuild your backswing step-by-step to get you on the correct swing plane and set in an ideal position at the top ready to unleash consistently straight shots.

By rotating the clubface at the takeaway and pushing hard with your left shoulder, you will get yourself in the perfect position to set the shaft angle by hinging the left hand. Once you¹ve mastered these checkpoints, fully rotate your shoulders to the top for a backswing the pros would be happy with!
