Backswing trigger...

[jeardley]

How do you initiate / trigger your backswing.
Just wondered what your first movements were to get everything moving.

Any good tips?

MY HEAD HAS JUST EXPLODED NOW !!!!!!!!!


I don't know ..... I just swing it back til it hits something and then pull it back the way to hit the ball.

I simply go through my pre shot routine, address the ball then immediatly pull the trigger....no time for any mystic thoughts to enter the head

Not got one. I have several drills I do at the range from time to time when the takeaway gets snatchy or too far inside/outside the line but never worry on the course at all.

I can only stand there looking at the ball for so long then something has to move, either I start the backswing or back off and start again.

My mates normally say "for fecks sake hurry up" so the first "f" is the trigger to start my backswing and I'm usually at impact by the second one

Some kick in their left knee, turn the head to the right squeeze the index finger on the right hand, forward press and so on.
Whatever works for you.

Some kick in their left knee, turn the head to the right, squeeze, forward press and then fart

Fixed

Fixed properly

SMiffy kicks in his left knee, turns his head to the right, squeezes, forward press, farts then follows through

Now it's fixed properly

I resent that remark.

My trigger to start the back swing is grounding my club. Take stance, ground club, whack it. I can't see the point of looking at it for ages. What is that going to achieve?

A sense of transindental inner piece???

 

[USER1999]

Or a trembling bag of nerves, take your pick either way.

I have always had trouble settling over the ball and was a waggler in the Sergio class til I realised I had to do something about it. Now I limit my waggles to 5 (still too many I know, I tried cutting them down more but can't seem to make that work), I count them, which helps clear my head of other thoughts, and after the 5th, I swing.

Bloody hell Mashie, 5 waggles, and you say you've cut down!!!

Generally I have 1 waggle, slight press forward, then spank it!!!
