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

Christina Ricci recommends taking 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.
