The most common backswing advice in golf is to turn your shoulders more. And for most casual golfers, it's actually making things worse.

Here's why. A bigger shoulder turn only helps if your base is stable enough to support it. When you chase rotation without maintaining your posture and your base, you lose the leverage you need to unwind properly. The backswing gets longer but the downswing gets messier.

What actually creates consistency is a clean, controlled rotation within your posture. Stable lower body. Spine angle maintained. Turn that stays within your base so everything can unwind from the same place every time.

That's not a smaller swing. That's a better one. ⛳

Here's the most honest balance check in golf and it takes about three seconds.

Swing through to your finish and tap your trail toe on the ground three times. That's it.

If you can do it cleanly, you've actually transferred your weight. If you have to push off the back foot to get there, you didn't, and no amount of posing at the finish is going to cover that up.

This is one of those drills that exposes the truth immediately. Plenty of golfers can hold a finish that looks balanced. Far fewer can tap the trail toe three times without wobbling, shifting, or cheating off the back foot.

Three taps. One honest answer about where your weight actually went.

You may have seen Coach Donna out on the course with us, but now meet the person behind the teaching 🏌️

Donna found her way to golf through family, built her coaching career at Dearborn Country Club in Chicago, and brought her love of feel-based instruction straight into the True Swing family.

Her thing? Flow. Hips. And helping golfers go from feeling like a novice to feeling like a real golfer.

She's available for lessons in both Chicago in the summer and Arizona.

Here's how the ruler takes you from grip to alignment to impact in one connected sequence.

Thumbs centered on the edge confirms a neutral grip. Then hold it up in front of your body and check that the leading edge is square to your spine. Bow down into your golf posture and confirm it's still square when you get there. Now you know your grip is neutral, your face is square, and your alignments match before you've swung anything.

From there the tee goes in the ground and the real work starts. Get into your posture, rotate the sternum, and tap the tee out. Simple as that.

Three checkpoints stacked on top of each other, and they all flow from one prop you already have at home.

Here's why the 7-Day Swing Reset Challenge costs $7 and not nothing.

Free things get saved and forgotten. A dollar a day means you actually show up, open the video, and do the work. That small bit of investment creates the follow-through that a free download almost never does.

Seven short lessons. Seven days. And if even one of those tips is the thing that finally clicks for you, wasn't it worth it?

If you've got steep divots, fat shots, no power, and a swing that feels like it's fighting itself, there's a good chance you're trapped before the downswing even starts.

Here's what happens.

The early L puts the hands way ahead of the ball the moment the body begins to unwind.

There's no time and no space to release. So the wrist hinge has nowhere to go, the body backs up trying to square the face, and everything goes sideways from there. It's not a downswing problem.

It's a backswing problem that shows up in the downswing.

The fix isn't to work harder on your release or your impact position. It's to stretch the circle earlier so you're not jammed to begin with.

When you keep the Y longer in the takeaway, you give yourself room.

Room to coordinate, room to release, room to actually swing instead of fighting your way back to the ball.

There's consistency waiting on the other side of this change. Before you L, make sure a long Y is happening first.

Your pitch shots are flying past the hole because you're aiming at the wrong thing. 🚩

Stop looking at the flag. Start picking a landing zone between you and the pin. Land it there and let it roll out.

Smaller target. Smaller swing. Smaller miss.

Every time ⛳

Grab a rope or beach towel, knot one end, and lay it on the ground. That's the whole setup.

Now step, pivot away, and swing it.

If your wrists hinge too early, the towel just goes limp.

It doesn't fly, it doesn't get over your shoulder, and it gives you zero satisfying feedback.

But when you drag it away with a wide Y position first, letting the body lead and the arms follow, the rope flies back and over your shoulder almost by itself.

That's the feeling you're looking for in your takeaway. Not a lift, not a quick set, not a manufactured hinge.

A drag. A fling.

A step pivot that creates enough momentum that the slack comes out of the system naturally.

You can't fake this drill. The towel tells you immediately whether you're doing it right or not, and you don't need to leave the house to try it.
