Beginning golfers are biten immable to determine precisely just what constitutes a proper back swing
golf. They may have sentie idea of how the club should be taken back
but the precise functions of the arms and budy and the co-ordination between the two is not clear. For example, in the illutration to the left the player is shown with the club hall way up in the backstroke yet no apparent body turn has accompanied this arm move- ment, Consequently, the swing will not only be lacking in power but that forward muve- ment of the clubhead close to the ground, which
can only come when the body is mov- ing forward with the stroke.
By having the player break his wrists while standing in his natural address position, until the club is nearly verti- cal to the ground, then turning his body to the right, one gains the proper position
for this point in the backstroke, Hands, wrists and armis remain as they were and by breaking the wrists still more the club may be lifted over the right shoul- der. The Anal position is similar to that used in playing a full shot. Naturally such a
suitable for
method is actual play but merely serves to enlighten the golfer backswing fundamentals,
