Backswing
I have been hard at work on fixing a poor backswing and was wondering if anyone has any drills that help a player start the backswing.

I am being instructed by an authorized TGM professional and have been focusing on the start of the backswing as my key area of problem. I had a bad sway but now by focusing on the shoulder turn that seems to be fixed and based on some high speed video my plane seems fine (I was using the Sam Snead starter move to fix the sway).

The question is this: What is the best drill to ingrain the correct motion of the backswing (Hogan says arms hands shoulders as well as every other TGM instructor) but every drill I have done just doesn't seem to ingrain this feeling; hence the problem with most drills - you can execute them very easily either at home or on the range, but actually translating that feeling to what the club should be doing is completely different and to some extent drills seem worthless.

Thoughts and thanks in advance.

I am pleased to 'air' this video produced by my friend David Orr, Director of the PGM program at Campbell University in Buies, North Carolina. David is a two-time student of my three-day golf schools and an early, enthusiastic booster of LBG.

Lot's of great stuff here, guys. Listen up!

Boys and girls, I'm here to tell you that Lynn Blake does RFT like no one's business and then Pivots and deals destruction on that golfball when he Hits. The ball's flight is penetrating and very, very deep and the ground gets bruised! Nice video Mike. I don't think it's fair to pick on Bucket. I was channeling him as I visited Several Waffle Houses during the week! LOL

"The backswing is only 18" long" , David Orr. Now that is something worth looking into both intellectually and practically. Another one of golfs illusions gone, it has changed my game. Set me free.
