MA Backswing Length: Stop-Turn Rule

 



One of the problems facing the Muscular Advantage (MA) Player is when to stop the backswing. Bernhard Langer, in the video above, offers a very simple solution. Stop swinging back when your left shoulder touches your chin. The arms and the left should are connected. If you break the connection by "lifting" the club up after the left should touches the chin and create inconsistency.

Starting the swing is equally simple. The left shoulder starts the swing by moving forward and separating from the chin. Once the left should has separated, you can hit the ball as hard (or as soft) as you want. Everything has stayed connected and you are in the right position to use your Muscular Advantage.



John Rahm, know for his short backswing, puts it simply: "This is the reason your swing sucks."
