Indoor Backswing Drills

Here are two indoor swing drills you can do in the comforts of your own home.

Here are two indoor swing drills you can do in the comforts of your own home. Sometimes the weather doesn’t cooperate, or you don’t have enough time to rip out to the golf course…that’s okay, cause we got you covered with these simple full swing drills that you can perform in a small space.

The first indoor swing drill we’re going to work on perfecting the plane of our takeaway. It’s as simple as using two golf clubs and hitting three specific check points in the golf swing. You’ll get instant visual feedback.

The second indoor swing drill is all about rotation and balance. This is not a drill where you need a lot of space. You can do it in front of the TV, in the office, or the train platform. It’s going to ensure we’re rotating and not swaying in the backswing.

    Colby, there are plenty of people out there sharing their techniques and tips with us weekend warriors but none do it as well and with the great humor that you do.

    Colby ,You’re supposed to put 70%/80% of your weight on your back foot when you go into your backswing .What you’re showing here is the STACK AND TILT method of MIKE BENNET and ANDY PLUMMER and ,which is not at all recommended today by most Pro’s

      Hi Raymond, thanks for writing in. This video doesn’t have anything to do with weight transfer, this is all about rotation and balance. The point of moving the back foot behind you is to help facilitate a full turn and also to keep you from swaying off the ball. If the drill is done properly, you will in fact have 70/80% of your weight should be transferred to the back foot while allowing you to rotate. There is no endorsement for Stack & Tilt here.

    Colby,

    Thank you for these two quick and easy to do exercises! I live in WI and need all kinds of drills to work on during the winter. I picked up golf because I am approaching retirement and wanted something healthy to do as a hobby. Little did I know how much I would love this game! I truly value drills with specific purposes. This is a great website!

    I gotta tell you, the best tip i got was yesterday when you showed how to grip down on the shaft, with the end in your stomach and swing back, all in unison. I’ve been struggling with the “hosel rockets” for the past 4-5 months and it’s been driving me crazy and totally frustrated. I think the problem was all in my hands flipping open on the takeaway and not turning my hips and shoulders together. This tip, keeping the grip end tucked into the stomach and gripping down on the shaft and then taking a one-piece swing has cured my “shanks”. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I’ve been playing golf for over 50 years and have NEVER, EVER had this kind of problem! Now, it’s in the rear-view mirror and i’m a confident golfer once again!

    I have to tell you I was just waiting for you to put that clubhead through that glass door behind you! I probably would have and been banished to the garage. Again.
