re: Help with too long of a backswing

Widen your stance as well. This will create additional resistance in the back swing and give you a more athletic, stable base. I’d bet money you have a narrow stance and your weight sways to the outside of your trail leg when you take it back.

Your stance should resemble “ready position” as if you were playing short stop... feet just wider than shoulder width, knees bent, titled from the hips, and arms hanging naturally. The golf swing is an athletic move and needs to start from an athletic position.
