Hi Paul,
haven’t noticed much a difference in distance using a longer backswing. I’ve heard people say you should try to turn your back to the target but when I do that I hit hooks just like you mention here. How do I know how far back to take my backswing? If it gets really far back there i feel like my accuracy suffers… but if it’s worth it in the long run I’ll keep doing it…
You should be basing your backswing on how far back you can coil. Once you get a tight coiled up feeling you are at the top. This will very from person to person.
