Today’s video talks about how to look at and think about the backswing in golf. Using a tennis racket, it’s easy to see Club face position during the backswing.
As always, come see me at okeeheelee or Park Ridge…. and don’t forget to like And subscribe to this page for more great videos
Thanks a lot . Everything is clear now as usual when you do a video. If you have time can you make some videos on short game ( bunker shots and pitch shots ) . You do a really nice job please don’t stop it . Oliver
Thanks. I have one question. Why modern instructors are saying not to move left knee or something like that and give more stress on thoracic spine. Is old school swing not optimal?
Hi Trish – Love your videos – When you swing the club back with your hands do you think swing the whole club like you do on the downswing .. Thank you very much . Terry W
Hi Trish, I love you instructional videos and look forward to them. I have a quick question about the backswing. I understand that both hands start swinging the clubhead back. It appears that the hands begin breaking immediately. Is this correct?…Thx…Dan
I’ve read Ernest Jones Swing The Clubhead Method 4 times and counting and have followed Oscar’s videos as well. Love your videos and continuation of their work. I’ve gotten really long on my backswing, a constant struggle?
I still don’t fully understand this. When you say, at the top of the backswing the club is square, which part of the club do you mean and square to what?
You have described the backswing with the hands many times but i cant for the life of me figure out what that means. I cant picture the difference of using the hands versus using the arms. Probably a dumb question but im slow:) By using the hands, does it mean my elbows are basically going to be bending very quickly? I would come and see you tomorrow if i was anywhere close😂
I'm on board! I'm 66 now. I've seen the results on an 80 yr old I play with all summer. Still got 2 month to go before snow and ice and go into hibernation for 4 months. Thank you and Manual! It's just that Simple! Ohha 🏌️♂️⛳😎
It Seems simple,but that,s not what they teach today.when you swing back with your arms do the hips turn automatically with out sliding.I would guess you don,t believe in the one piece takeaway everything turning back together.S/J.stay healthy.
This actually works. I've spent years bouncing around in high single low double digits but I've always suffered the one or two BIG MISSES every round. After years of sports injuries golf started to literally hurt. I took Manuel's concepts to the rage this past summer and realized I've been approaching everything wrong. This truly is the foundation for a "swing for life." 99% of amateur golfers would benefit from this.
Hi! Do you have any advise on figuring out what distance to stop in the backswing? Should the hands stop once it reaches the shoulder? Should you just rotate as much as possible, in accordance with your flexibility? I've noticed that your club at the top of your backswing is not fully parallel, so i'm not sure what is the correct distance, in terms of the club moving backwards in the backswing. Hope my question makes sense!
Trish, just a note that i have been playing golf for 39 years and you have been one of the best teachers I have enjoyed. I can tell you want us to get better. Using the non overlap and non interlocking grip for the first time on 8/2/22 I shot 105 on 18 holes and was feeling more in control than ever. With practice I expect to be under 100 regularly, soon. Thank you for making golf more fun than ever. Have a blessed day.
Absolutely golden advice about two hands, I've never seen it described like that but it makes so much sense. You might try visualizing your hands in the prayer position together, right hand even with the left so even though your right elbow bends and your right wrist will flex back your hands together will still be where the club face is pointing. Like a lot of things in golf once you get the concept and can see it works you can swing a full smooth swing.
Trish this is fantastic. I just purchased Manuel’s book last week and the swing felt way better, but my backswing was still a little long and I was still using a little too much hands at impact.
I couldn’t understand that the hands drove the backswing until I saw this video. This may have been the missing piece. THANK YOU.
Question. I know you said swing the hands on the backswing, but would it be a good analogy to use that we swing the clubhead up in the backswing which is the same effectof swinging the hands to over the shoulder and then swing the arms to the target on the downswing?

Manual de la torre was the best teacher glad you still mention him great tip
Love this no bs approach to teaching Trish. Just swing the clubhead.
Not true first take away with the racket is square to the ball.
Thanks for this. Much appreciated.
Freddy Couples! He swings his hands to his position at the top and lets the body respond to this motion! Find the right position for U

Thankyou! This is the best explanation of the backswing I have ever seen.

Perfect Trish so so easily explained you have a gift, I’m playing solid golf because I’ve gone back to the basics you teach. Thanks from Down under

what is square?
Thanks-I struggle sometimes in the back swing. Simple explanation.
