A Very bad Habit

photo credit: kulicki   There is a very bad habit that receives little attention amongst players, students and teachers alike.  The habit being referred to is when a golfer actually watches their club move backward as the backswing begins.  It is one of the most popular faults that occur. 

Usually, a player develops this habit for a number of reasons.  Perhaps they have become self-conscious about correcting a swing flaw that their instructor has pointed out to them or maybe it’s because of a lack of concentration on their part.  Whatever the reason, it’s about the worst habit a golfer can have.

I just don’t think looking at the ball is enough.  I suggest looking at the back of the ball (which concentrates your eyesight even more) until impact occurs.
