How to practice a proper golf backswing

A beginning golfer usually focuses on making solid contact with the golf ball. Once the golfer is comfortable with his or her basic swing mechanics and moves beyond beginning skill-levels, he or she can start to learn some of the more subtle, yet important elements of a powerful and consistent swing, the very topic covered in this golfing how-to video. A very important skill that an intermediate or advanced golfer must perfect is successfully shifting his or her weight to the back foot during the backswing and to the front foot as part of the downswing, while maintaining his or her balance throughout the swing. Begin your back swing as usual, sweeping the club head back low to the ground. Feel your weight shifting to the inside of your back foot as if your back foot was planted in concrete. Then follow through. Learn how to execute a perfect backswing by watching this instructional golf video.
