Rewind To Backswing - Use Delivery Position To Train Your Backswing
When you really know a skill, you can slow down the movement, or speed it up and still have success. Golf is no different. One great way to reinforce the movement of the backswing is to figure out where you want to go from the backswing. The next check point during the golf swing is the delivery position (the end of the transition). Sometimes, starting from there and working back to the top of the swing can be very helpful for clarifying YOUR best top of backswing position.

this drill video is rewind to backswing so I like to play with time in some of
2
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.480
these drills if you haven't noticed I like to do let's go to impact position
3
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:16.000
and work back to delivery well that system works pretty well for going back
4
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.640
to backswing as well a lot of players have no real idea of where they think
5
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:24.560
their proper backswing should be I'm gonna help you give you an idea so what
6
00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:27.720
you're gonna do is you're gonna start in delivery position because that's where
7
00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:32.800
we know we want to get to and then we're gonna back that up to a backswing that
8
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:36.640
will make it easy to get into that delivery position so just refreshing
9
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:42.040
delivery position I'm going to bring my right elbow in towards my side I'm
10
00:00:42.040 --> 00:00:42.560
going
11
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:48.040
to rotate my forearms and then I'm gonna square the clubface just like so okay
12
00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:48.200
so
13
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:52.440
this is roughly delivery position now I'm gonna get in my golf posture and I'm
14
00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:56.840
just going to make a pivot thinking about keeping my shoulder plane and the
15
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:56.960
whole
16
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.200
windmill stuff that we talked about in the other backswing drills so if I go
17
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:05.240
ahead and make that backswing move now I'm pretty close to a position now I can
18
00:01:05.240 --> 00:01:10.280
kind of play around with how much set how much you know little variants I want
19
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.720
up there but this is a good way of figuring out where my backswing backswing
20
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:20.440
should be because if I get my arms way behind me kind of like so if I get my
21
00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:24.400
arms way up here I'll find that it's gonna be hard for me to get into this
22
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:29.440
delivery position which prepares me for that proper release so one last time
23
00:01:29.440 --> 00:01:34.400
I'm gonna go to delivery position and then I'm going to go ahead and pivot and
24
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:40.680
make my backswing so that it feels pretty close to or it so that it would be
25
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:46.080
easy for me to get back down into this delivery position so sometimes when you
26
00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:49.600
have in trouble going forward it's easiest to go back I think that going
27
00:01:49.600 --> 00:01:53.400
from delivery position will help you figure out a really comfortable backswing
28
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.940
position for what we want to do in the downswing.
