A Key Takeaway

Forearm rotation should mirror the shoulders in the backswing

- Cennydd Mills

The correct movement in the backswing is important to give yourself the best chance of releasing the stored energy in the downswing in the most efficient way. Forearm rotation is something that is easily misunderstood and often performed poorly.

As we make the backswing movement, the shoulders rotate and it’s important that the arms complement this rotation and not work independently. This simple drill will help you understand how the arms should work during the first half of the backswing.
