Stop Standing Up in Your Backswing (You’re Losing Power) #golfswing #golf #golfer #golflife

In this guide by Golf-Ed, golfers learn how to eliminate the common mistake of 'standing up' or losing spine angle during the backswing. By maintaining flex in the trail knee and loading the weight into the instep, players can create authentic torque and more consistent power.

• Avoid straightening the trail leg during the backswing to preserve your spine angle.
• Concentrate weight on the instep of the trail foot to prevent swaying and maintain stability.
• Keep the trail knee slightly flexed to act as a brace for creating torque.
• Rotating 'in plane' makes it significantly easier to return the club head to the ball consistently.
