4 Simple Fixes to STOP Overswinging (More Power & Control)
PGA Instructor Erika Larkin provides four specific technical fixes to eliminate a long, uncontrolled backswing. By focusing on maintaining the 'arm triangle,' grounding the trail big toe for stability, and timing the transition with a step-through drill, golfers can gain more effortless power and improved consistency.
Maintain the 'triangle' formed by your arms and chest to keep width and prevent the club from collapsing behind the body.
Engage the big toe of your trail foot by clawing the ground to prevent over-rotation and sway in the backswing.
Keep your sternum and belt buckle at a consistent distance to avoid a reverse spine angle and staying in posture.
Use a '1... AND 2' tempo, where the transition to the lead side begins before the backswing is fully completed.
