The better your backswing is the better your forward swing will be. If you don't have a good backswing, you won't have a good swing.

A good example of this is Tiger Woods. He has been working on his backswing for the last two years in an effort to make his swing better.

I feel the swing starts from the ground up with the clubhead moving away from the ball in a wide arc with the clubhead slightly outside the hands when you are waist high.

At this point, your lead shoulder should be moving behind the ball as you are beginning to hinge your wrists and coiling against the inside of your trailing leg.

Also, when you are waist-high, your trailing arm will be slightly above your lead arm.

At this point, your lead arm will be straight but not stiff and your trailing arm should be relaxed so that you can complete your turn and get the club shaft to a 90-degree position in relation to your forearms.

When your turn is completed, you will feel most of your weight on the inside of your trailing foot, shin and thigh and be ready to start the down swing.

Remember, without a solid backswing the rest of the swing is doomed.
