Does it work?
Our breakthrough test indicates that you don't need a normal backswing to hit good shots.
THE STUDY
Who took part
Twenty-nine adult golfers representing a full range of skill levels from beginner to professional. The study took place at TwinEagles Golf Club in Naples, Fla.
The experiment
The participants made five regular swings and then five swings using the No-Backswing Swing (NBS) with their own 5-iron. None of the 29 golfers had previous exposure to the No-Backswing technique. Each swing and ball flight was measured by the TrackMan ball-tracking system. The TrackMan system is accurate up to 12 inches from 400 yards."]
The results
The test data was computed and analyzed with help of the Center for Sports Innovation at MIT. Golfers with a handicap of 1 or higher hit the ball just as far and just as straight with the NBS as they did with their regular swing. This was surprising, considering that none of the study participants had practiced the new technique. And since it was new, the players no doubt received warning signals from their brain that they were swinging "wrong," making it very difficult to perform.
Players at scratch or better hit the ball farther with their regular swing than they did with the No-Backswing Swing. Our conclusion here is that the best players are very concerned with accuracy, and when asked to hit the ball with a new swing they slowed down to make sure they hit it straight.
Nonetheless, the data indicates that the No-Backswing Swing works and has distinct advantages over the traditional way of swinging the club.
