On tour, nearly every player starts with a soft trail arm. A softer trail arm also promotes an on-plane backswing, where the club moves on the plane established by the shaft to the ground at address.
Yes, a longer backswing will help you hit longer drives, but trying to lengthen your backswing by any means necessary can often have the opposite effect. Here’s why.
How we transition from the backswing to the downswing is so critical to a clean strike because the slightest movement changes how we contact the golf ball.
