The first point about backswing I want to emphasize is this: if his body, legs and arms are properly positioned and poised to begin with, any golfer with average equipment can learn to execute the proper movements. This is why you must build on a correct grip and stance, for the golf swing is an accumulative thing. All the actions are linked together.

For instance, when your grip is correct you will have the proper live tension in the muscles which run along the inside of the arms all the way to the armpit. These are the arm muscles you want to work with-they tie in with the muscles of the body that should be used in the golf swing.
