Top of the backswing

[forefortheday]

Really becoming infuriated with an issue at the top of my backswing.

Especailly with longer clubs I tend to get to the top then my hands become active and "drop" the club behind my shoulder.

My pro keeps banging on about it and although he has suggested a few fixes I can't seem to resolve it.

I've looked at buying this to fix it?

Anybody else had the same issue or failing that any tips?

I have one of these - haven't use it for ages as it got rid of the problem....but a cheaper and maybe easier drill would be to imagine you are making a shorter swing (you actually won't) but it will feel like you are and make your wrists feel more as 'one'...

The other one is make a whole swing as slow as you can - then do it again with a ball and hit it but make it go as short as you can - I can hit a 'full' 7 iron about 10 yards (mind you I know some you have no problem in doing that anyway!!) but I hope you get what I mean as you feel every part of the swing.....

Interesting club gaps Sam, 3i, 220, 7i 10 yards. What do you use from 3 yards?

I'm glad you posted this. I've been after one for ages and couldn't remember the name.

I want it to try and stop the "heel" of my right thumb coming away from riding on the top of my left thumb.... i think this might encourage this???

f-f-t-d? have we drawn a blank on this mate?

I remember these being very popular 10 years ago.....maybe everyone's forgotten if they were any good or not!

She knows how to use it!!!

I reckon it might be "dead" as a product though....the website hasn't been updated for over 2 years.

I'm gonna give it a try for the thing I mentioned and also because I suspect it could be a good "lag" aid.....the longer you can keep it touching your arm, the more lag....

Just got it!

Will report back with news....
