Let setup width dictate your backswing length

The instructor uses setup width measured in club-heads to dictate backswing length. Two club-heads with a slightly higher grip produces a nine o'clock backswing; three club-heads, farther away and at the top of the grip, produces a half-past-ten position.

Try it

  1. go to two club heads, up the grip a little bit, and you get to a nine o'clock position
  2. go to three club heads, a bit further away, top of the grip, and it gets like a half past ten position
