Change Your Flat Backswing

If your backswing is too flat it may lead to poorly struck and inconsistent shots. Try this easy drill from Megan Johnston to get your club on the right plane in your backswing.

How you take the club back can directly influence your downswing. Try this drill with the goal to be just inside the ball line on the backswing so you can drop just outside the ball line on the downswing.
