What I want to focus on in this video is actually going to be the depth - or lack of depth - in your backswing and how that affects the downswing pieces.
Backswing depth is really defined by two things, but the main part of it is where the butt of the club gets at the top of your swing. From the down the line view, if you were to draw a straight line down from the butt of the club, most good players have that line in line with the middle part of the trail foot (or right foot for me) all the way back to about the heel.
For those of you that are looking to make some downswing adjustments, you have to understand that how you start the down swing is going to be based on where you are coming from. When you make a backswing, the deeper that you get the butt of the club - or the more behind you - the easier it is to have more rotation during your downswing.
The more I turn my body and the earlier I turn my body, the easier it is to get deeper. If I make a backswing with no body turn, it's really hard for me to get enough depth. If I just allow my body to turn, the butt of the club goes much farther behind me. So, increasing belt buckle, hip turn and chest and shoulder turn during my backswing and can help me get deeper.
The second part is the overall hand path. If II want to get as deep as I can during the backswing, I get my hands working in closer to my thigh and continue in all the way up and that makes it easier to get a little bit deeper.
The last piece is where your left arm is in space and it goes along with hand path. The more my left arm goes in across my chest or across my pec during my backswing, the deeper the butt of the club goes.
So, if you want to add depth to your back swing so that you can rotate easier during the downswing there are three things you can do. Increase your body turn. Feel like your body is turning more or sooner relative to your arms and hands during your backswing. You can feel your hands working in towards your thigh and left arm in and across your chest.
Is this going to magically make your downswing perfect? No, but it's like a prerequisite. You put this in first and then you can begin the downswing phase. If you've been trying to rotate much more on the downswing and your backswing and you're not able to do it, there's probably a reason. I would start with these pieces to get yourself deeper during the backswing.
