Backswing Too Short?

To increase shoulder turn and lengthen the backswing, practice swinging “cross-handed” (reverse the hands on the club).

This will gently stretch the front shoulder and train the muscles to correctly rotate into the backswing while maintaining width.

*Avoid or modify if there is an injury.
