Control Your Backswing Pivot to Improve Consistency
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Understand how to keep your head stable during the backswing
- Feel the correct amount of weight shift into your right leg
- Develop spatial awareness for a more structured pivot movement
In this drill, you'll learn how to maintain your upper body position during the backswing using a wall for feedback. This will help you develop a more centered pivot, leading to better swing mechanics and improved ball striking.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.760
This drill is working on your backswing pivot and making sure that your upper
2
00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:08.440
body is not drifting too much off the wall. In order to do so, you're going to
3
00:00:08.440 --> 00:00:14.000
use a wall as a feedback device. So, similar to what we did in the impact drill
4
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:14.000
,
5
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.960
you were able to use the wall to kind of see in space where your head was. We
6
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:19.320
're
7
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.170
going to do the same thing. So, if you had a line right up against your head,
8
00:00:24.170 --> 00:00:24.680
or
9
00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:29.520
just slightly off, let's say it's an inch off my head, when I do a good one-
10
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:29.760
piece
11
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:36.660
takeaway, and then backswing, my head would barely touch the wall if at all.
12
00:00:36.660 --> 00:00:42.480
The tour average is somewhere around 1-2 inches of shift into the right leg. A
13
00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:47.520
lot of golfers that try and overload into that right side end up either swaying
14
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:48.960
or
15
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.880
losing their posture in the backswing like so. So, I'll show you with the wall
16
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.360
and you'll be able to see from the behind view how I'm able to make a
17
00:00:58.360 --> 00:01:02.040
backswing without letting my head hit the wall. So, you just get into your golf
18
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:05.440
posture so that it's just off your head a little bit, and then you're going to
19
00:01:05.440 --> 00:01:09.320
make your full backswing, and you'll notice that my head barely shifted and if
20
00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:14.920
anything just touched this wall. So, shift like so, and then when you can come
21
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.360
down as you're working on your transition, you can focus on your head more less
22
00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:24.760
staying in that position and not drifting too far forward. So, using the
23
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.920
corner of the wall will help you understand the spatial awareness of where
24
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.520
your upper body and your head will be when you make a good centered pivot in
25
00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:34.000
the backswing.
