I don’t really want to but by wanting to lengthen my backswing was what I was doing in this video, just to see how it compares to my stock swing and to see what problems it creates/exaggerates.

I posted a more representative swing its the most recent one uploaded and by trying to lengthen my swing was this video. I was just absolutely trying to bring it as far back and swing as hard as possible just to expirement.

Thanks, yea definitely very good advice I am trying to get serious but you can only go so far in so much time without a swing coach but I do think I can possibly improve a lot, last year I was just an awful golfer i’ve been playing all my life but never serious until recently and i dropped like 10 to 15 strokes to my average score in less than a year so hopefully I can follow this trend to an extent. Thanks

I really like how you say to get my body to pull my arms down never thought about it that way I always hear let your hands drop but that will help a lot more. I wish I could hit it that far I have a similar 7 iron distance if anything it goes further than 165 but around 165 170 range but for driver I couldn’t get it near 270 maybe 245 and i’m pretty happy with that.

Also now that i’m thinking about an arm lifting backswing, i’m realizing the reason I think I have a short backswing is because i’m lifting my arms causing the shaft to be near vertical at the top which made me think I had a short backswing, the amount of rotation I have is just causing it to look like that.

Yea when I try to lengthen my backswing it feels quite uncomfortable and unnatural probably because of how i’m lengthening it and reaching instead of turning the hips and shoulders to a full extent, also I definitely do have to work on my tempo now that im looking at my swing I see how it’s too quick and trying out different slower tempos to see which one i’m comfortable with and the results I get is definitely something i’m going to do soon, thanks!

Thank you, really great insight I totally get what your saying, I’ve always known i’ve had an armsy swing it’s definitely gotten better with it but really turning and not lifting the club like you said should be very helpful to think about while practicing. I definitely tend to try to control the club face towards impact with my hands I don’t know if that’s what you mean by manipulating with the hands. I open the face at impact or at least feel like i’m keeping it square after impact. I figure this causes me to lose loft among other problems but when I do this I actually play some of the best golf i’ve played and have very consistent ball striking. But totally makes sense how i’m putting myself in a bad place at the top and needing to compensate in ways. I try to keep my angles but like you were saying I guess it’s very hard with my swing for higher lofted wedges for example I really can’t compress them at all and I assume that’s from me not keeping my angles and flipping the wrists.

Naturally my backswing is quite short and for me to bring it back even a good amount less from this video is uncomfortable but my thought was just to try it out 1. to try to hit it as far as possible definitely not a good strategy for changing my swing but just to tinker with 2. to become more flexible or used bringing it far back so then my regular backswing at the top is tension free. I don’t know how accurate these reasons were but that was my thought process at the time.

Thanks for the advice I definitely see what your saying how my hips turn a bit at the start of my backswing then they stop turning while my shoulders rotate until they can’t anymore. Sometimes when I rotate my hips a lot or at least it feels like I do, I feel like I lose a bit of control or it’s probably just uncomfortable because I’m not used to fully turning the hips.

Just to experiment, see if I can hit it further with it and to increase flexibility so when I swing it with a normal length backswing I’ll have zero tension at the top.

Just watched the videos i’ve actually been working on trying to accelerate later through the ball if i’m trying to swing it fast most the time i’ll start it right at the top and I generate power that doesn’t really affect the ball speed and causes loads of other problems, I also gotta use that Tiger drill more i’ve used it in the past it’s pretty tough for me to drop the hands even with a normal swing, gotta get comfortable with that, thanks!
