Coaching Tip with Steve Darmody – Set the Backswing for Success

Coaching special for this week – bring a friend to share a lesson and only pay the single-person rate.

One of the key checkpoints in a golf swing is the ‘set’ at the top. To achieve this, follow these steps for the “Drink Waiter Drill”:

• Swing the arms to the top into a ‘drink waiter’ position
• Ensure the right elbow is down and the right palm is up

This sets a squarer clubface (red lines), which should be parallel to the left forearm. The clubface in the left image is very open and will create a slice. The right image demonstrates the squarer clubface with the ‘drink waiter’ right wrist and forearm.

The difference between an open and square clubface can be seen in the images below.
