How Long is Your Backswing? Are You 3 Hours Off?

Christina Ricci says take a look at the length of your backswing. Having a keen sense of where your hands and the clubhead are is critical for improved ball striking.

If you want more pars, but feel like your ball striking is a tad off the mark…take a look at the length of your backswing. Have a buddy film your swing and take a guess before you watch: where are your hands in relation to a clock, where your head is Noon.
.
Are your hands at 1:00, Noon, 11:00 at the top of your swing? Most players when I ask are about three hours off. Having a keen sense of where your hands …and more importantly, the clubhead is paramount for improved ball striking.

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
