Backswing
How much (percentage) does everyone think the backswing plays into their game. During the summer, i video taped myself and watched it over and over again - trying to find out the "funk" of when I make my bad shots, what I am doing.
I watched good ole Ernie Schlegel, I roll like he does (but not as consistent) - and his backswing is not very high at all. I then watched Chris barnes and Brian Himmler - their backswings are big. Got me thinking, so I attempted to shorten my backswing from the same starting position, and boy is that hard to do. Mentally hard to change routine - so after a few days and nights of attempts, I researched the internet and found others on some sites stating slower backswings - shorter backswings. I tried that, and wow, it made a huge difference. I really can't say how much less my backswing is - but from the video tape before/after, I can see the difference.
It's almost like I was forcing the ball through front to back and back to front (timing was off) which forced me to come back to front even more faster when I was getting tired.
I shot 4 games that day, 240 and better, the shot was broken down, through my green vibe and it carried. I did get away with a few pull shots and tripped the 4 a bunch of times, but I was in the pocket consistently and even after I got tired, I kept throwing the 4 games without stopping, about 3 - 5 minutes inbetween each frame. working on building my endurance too.
