DESCRIPTION

To develop the pupil?s ability to feel and perceive the correct backswing position.

Encourage the pupil make the backswing movement then hold the position at any point. The pupil should then try to guess what position they are in before looking to see if they are right. The pupil is then allowed to look at that position, make any adjustments necessary to correct any errors and then move to the correct position to feel the difference without looking at it.
