4 Moves Every Golfer Needs for the PERFECT, On-Plane Backswing
Adam Porzak of Porzak Golf reveals four essential moves to build a powerful, on-plane backswing. The lesson focuses on trail elbow external rotation, using a 'spiral staircase' feel for shoulder rotation, and utilizing the Wall Drill to prevent the club from getting stuck behind the body.
Initiate the turn with 'opposites': as the lead shoulder moves across, the trail hip pocket moves back.
Improve trail shoulder external rotation to keep the elbow in front of the body and prevent a vertical 'lifting' motion.
Use the Wall Drill (standing 6 inches from a wall) to provide immediate feedback on your backswing plane.
Focus on getting the trail shoulder as far behind the head as possible to ensure a full, deep rotation.
Avoid being 'ball bound' by performing slow-motion rehearsals without a ball to cement technical changes.
