How Fast Should Your Backswing Be? The Truth About Tempo & Speed!

Have you ever wondered how fast your backswing should be to achieve the perfect golf swing? Many golfers make the mistake of taking the club back too slow, disrupting their kinematic sequence and losing power. But at the same time, yanking the club back too fast can throw off your rhythm. So, what’s the perfect balance?

In this video, I’ll break down the ideal backswing speed—a smooth, controlled acceleration to the top that sets up a powerful downswing. You’ll learn why a slow backswing can ruin your synchronization, why pulling it back too quickly creates inconsistencies, and how to find the perfect tempo for more distance, better contact, and a more repeatable swing.

PLUS, I tackle a big question—do YouTube videos actually help your golf game? With so much golf instruction online, are you improving or just consuming more information? Let’s dive into whether these tips are making a real difference in lowering your scores and improving your ball striking.

✅ Find the right backswing speed for better sequencing✅ Increase clubhead speed & hit the golf ball farther✅ Stop flipping at impact & eliminate the over-the-top move✅ Improve consistency & compress the golf ball
