Two techniques for a perfect backswing pivot

• The pot of gold

It’s as simple as imagining that you’re reaching across to pick up a pot of golf at your right. This will create the desired motion for your backswing. If you’re left handed, you’ll need to reach to your left.

• The club across chest movement

Position two golf balls with one adjacent to each of your feet, a shoulder width apart. Place your club across your chest and fold your arms over the club. Assume your golf posture and then turn right and left, pointing your club towards each ball as you go. Note the movement in your upper body and apply this to your backswing in future.
