Feet flat

[Ty Webb]

Colin,

I am a relatively new golfer. I tend to let my hips slide backwards during the backswing and have had a heck of a time curing myself of this. Lately, I have been concentrating on keeping both feet (particularily, my left) flat during the backswing. I, sometimes, revert back to my old ways.

Any swing thoughts, drills that you can suggest? Your comments are appreciated.

Anybody else who can make any suggestions is also appreciated.

Ty keeping your feet flat during the backswing is a good idea as long as you allow your front knee to rotate in behind the ball during the backswing. Also you must allow your hip to rotate around as you make your backswing. This will allow you to make a good, solid turn behind the ball.
