Blast Level 1: Drill 1 - Backswing Time

Standard Drill

Blast Level 1, Drill 1 focuses on Backswing Time. Backswing time is one of the most important metrics for your golf swing, and will vary depending on the club. We recommend starting simple and perfecting backswing time, before working on downswing time. For your scoring clubs (wedges to 8 iron), the ideal time to strive for is .60 seconds. For your mid irons (7, 6, and 5 irons), the ideal backswing time is .68 seconds. For long clubs (4 iron to driver), we recommend a backswing time of .75 seconds.
