If you are struggling to make a full turn in your golf swing, you may be going at it all wrong. We’ve got an easy way to fix your golf shoulder turn issue. Do not pay attention to where your arms and hands end up at the top of your backswing. They do not have to be above your head; and your club does not have to be parallel in order to have a full, 90 degree shoulder turn.

Zach Johnson is a solid striker of the golf ball, and right in there in the distance category, and yet most viewers would say he has a short backswing. I can tell you he does NOT! If you look at his top of the backswing position, his shoulders are turned more than the accepted 90 degrees, he just doesn’t want his hands to get to high or disconnected at the top. This is a great model to use if you struggle with your range of motion; or you have shoulder flexibility issues that won’t let you get to the top of your backswing anyways.

Look at the white line across his shoulders. That is a full (over 90 degress) shoulder turn. Look at the yellow line. Notice how his left arm is barely above parallel to the ground. This is profound. Your left arm does not have to go way up to make a full shoulder turn. This is how to get power in your golf swing.

Golf Shoulder “Secret” Tip

I want you to stand up right now. Grab an imaginary golf club; get in your address position, and this time, instead of focusing on your lead shoulder during your backswing, I want you to get your “right” shoulder moving backward and behind you as soon as you start your takeaway. You will be shocked at the lack of tension you feel, and how easy it is to make a full shoulder turn.

The majority of golfers struggle to make a full shoulder turn in their golf swing because of undo tension in their “lead” shoulder. Instead rotate your RIGHT shoulder back immediately and low and behold you now have a tension-free, full shoulder turn.

Also, don’t discount your range of motion. Improving in golf by stretching is an effective and much needed approach, especially if you are an older golfer with declining flexibility.

How to “Reach Back” to Unleash Your Power Golf Game

Here’s a simple way to fix your shoulder turn in your golf swing.There are some golf holes where an extra 10, 20, or 40 yards more off the tee can make a big difference – like a long par 4 or a reachable par 5.

The question is, “How can you add an extra gear to your golf swing to take it deep and still split the fairway?”

Whenever I need extra yards on my drive I focus on just two things:
1. “Reaching Back” on my backswing to elongate my swing arc;
2. Keeping my grip pressure “medium firm.”

Thinking “Reach Back” on the backswing helps you to:
1. Extend the club away from your body for a wider arc that naturally increases club head speed;
2. Shallow out your swing arc to minimize backspin and maximize carry distance;
3. Create an elastic stretch in the “big” muscles of your back and shoulders that are the source of your power golf game.

Thinking “Medium Firm” on the grip pressure helps you to:
1. Maintain a grip pressure firm enough to feel in control, but not so tight that it eliminates the elastic stretch of the big muscles;
2. Minimize the unwanted tension in the hands and arms that prevents forearm rotation through contact and slows down swing speed;
3. Medium firm, on a scale of 1 (light) to 10 (tight) would be a 4.

Before you unleash your power golf swing take a couple of practice swings at 50% of speed. Focus on “reaching back” as far as possible with the left arm until you feel a stretch in the big muscles of your back. Keep your grip pressure medium firm all the way through impact. When you step to the tee, you’ll be ready.
