November 04, 2011
1 of 6 David Bergman

The No-Backswing Swing: What it Fixes The NBS eliminates the backswing errors shown in this gallery. Taken as a whole, these errors, which are evident in the swings of 90 percent of all amateur players, make up almost 70 percent of all mistakes. Left: Thin shots — Backswing sway Too much slide, not enough turn. Right: Fat Shots/Slices — Reverse pivot Weight stranded over left foot.
