A simple visual for a proper wedge backswing

Place two yardage sticks in the ground that are 1 inch apart. Practice making backswings where your upper body moves from the yardage stick furthest away from the target, to the one closer to the target. This feeling, combined with starting a little more ahead of the golf ball will make some of you feel like you are very much on top of the golf ball. This is a critical key for making consistent, solid contact with distance wedges.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.120
This drill video is the one inch lean. Now this is kind of the counterpart to

2
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:05.240
the

3
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:08.800
three inch lean that we have in the finesse wedge swing. For the distance wedge

4
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.800
it's just a subtle little shift towards the target. Helps keep you centered,

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:13.000
helps

6
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.080
keep your shoulders level and helps encourage the little bit more of the

7
00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:21.200
casting arm movement or kind of your full extended arm movement through the

8
00:00:21.200 --> 00:00:26.240
release as opposed to having that pronounced lag that we create in the

9
00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:31.160
stock full swing. So it's a very simple drill. You're gonna take two alignment

10
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.600
rods. I recommend different colors so I've got, I'm gonna set up with the

11
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.080
orange

12
00:00:35.080 --> 00:00:38.480
stick in front of my shirt buttons or in front of my nose and then during the

13
00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:43.840
backswing I'm going to move in front of the yellow one. So the ball position is

14
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:49.360
gonna be my normal distance wedge just forward of center, ball position from my

15
00:00:49.360 --> 00:00:53.160
upper body just off my ear and then during the backswing we're gonna move

16
00:00:53.160 --> 00:01:04.400
from orange to yellow. So orange to yellow. Orange to yellow and it's, if you

17
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:04.520
get

18
00:01:04.520 --> 00:01:08.880
distracted visually like if you have store stress visually then this is a

19
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:14.320
tough drill to have this close to the golf ball. So you can use this as what I

20
00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:17.960
call training station which would basically be you're gonna set up to it

21
00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:23.640
and you're gonna get the feeling of it like so and then you're gonna step back

22
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:30.480
so that it's out of the feel of you and then try to recreate it.
