Wind Up with the Pitcher Drill for a Powerful Backswing

If your shots lack power, there's a good chance that your backswing isn't as effective as it needs to be. Greta Anderson demonstrates how to load up with the Pitcher Drill.

A good backswing is about more than just getting the club behind us; it’s also about loading up that trail side (right side for right handers). In this video, I discuss how we need to focus on winding up like a pitcher to understand and feel how much we should load onto the trail side before transitioning to the downswing. We’ll learn about the “Pitcher Drill” and how we can use it to begin loading up to create a simpler but more powerful swing.
