Golf Tips for Improving Your Top Swing

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Kensey Snyder. We’re going to talk about the top of the backswing. We’ve gone through the prior steps and now we’re going to get past the setting position and into the top of the backswing. We’re going to continue to turn and get our chest turned this way, our back to the target. And you can see that my left shoulder is more over my right leg now, in this position here. So this is going to allow us the proper move on the way down. Now something that might help you guys is when you think about the right hand, if I’m in this position right here and I take it back to the top of the swing, you can see my right palm is positioned more up, that is what we’re looking for. You can see if I have a watch on my left arm like I do, the watch is going to be pointed more upwards, this is the position that’s going to help you make the proper move on the way down. So when we get to the top of the swing, we’re going to feel as if the left shoulder moves more over to the right side which means your hips are going to turn slightly in this way, the head is going to move back a little bit and we get into this position here. Feel like your right palm is pointed a little more upwards; don’t get it like this which is going to make us swing over the top. So that’s just a few things that I’ve had great success with and hopefully you will too."
