It’s time for another episode of ‘Second Hand Shorts’. You can watch some of the other episodes of the series below:

Today’s short is all about getting a good turn on the driver backswing. The Pro is on hand to explain all..

What we see in modern day golfers and athletes is that they turn with a lot of resistance in the lower body, and as they make the swing their hips don’t make as much movement as they used too with their feet being more flexible.

We are amateur golfers though, and we don’t get to play as much as we would like. So we need to help ourlseves turn more in the swing.

One of the greatest golfers of all time was Jack Nicklaus and he used to lift his left heel up. This movement allowed him to turn his shoulders and hips and really get to the top of his backswing which gave him the power he needed.

Come and join us at The Shack for all of the best instruction and equipment videos.

Our head Pro James Whitaker hosts regular guests from the NCG family to fix some of their most frustrating faults and take an in depth look at all the latest equipment releases with our very own James Savage.

Our anonymous big hitter then gives all the clubs a proper test with the two James’ watching on and analysing their data on Trackman.

With a state of the art ShackCart (based on the popular SkyCart) and Trackman software, The Shack is the ideal pace for instruction and challenge with Tour pros.
