Correct Backswing

Now, I need to take a moment to explain the significance of this position and what it will do for your game.

1. By making sure that the club is at the 9 o'clock position in the first place will correct any fault that you have as far as picking the club up too fast, or not picking it up at all. This will ensure that you have completed the one-peice takeaway correctly.
2. By making sure that the shaft is parallel to your feet line at 9 o'clock, you will ensure that you're bring the club back on the correct path. This will ensure that you are not too far inside or too far outside. It will also ensure that you're getting a good shoulder turn which will add power to your swing.
3. By making sure the toe is in the air, you are ensuring that you're rotating the clubface correctly around the shaft of the club. The club should not swing straight back and straight through. The clubface needs to open on the backswing, and close in the downswing. This move provides power and consistency to the golf swing.

So... by getting to this one position, we're correcting many mistakes that you may be experiencing in your golf swing... Coming too far inside, too far outside, not rotating correctly around the shaft, etc...

Practice getting to this simple position, and your game should improve dramatically.
