The secret to better golf isn't your backswing.

Kirk Junge explains why focusing on the backswing is often a mistake, advocating instead for a setup that mirrors the ideal impact position. By analyzing the impact frames of pros like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, Junge demonstrates how a single-plane setup allows the club to align naturally with the trailing arm, leading to more consistent ball striking.

• Prioritize improving your impact position over focusing on the takeaway or backswing.
• Traditional setups often make it physically difficult to return the club to an ideal position at impact.
• At impact, the club should be in direct alignment with the trailing arm (as seen in elite pros).
• Set up on your impact plane to create a simpler, single-plane swing that is easier to repeat.
• Focus on leading with the grip through the impact zone.
