Many golfers are inspired by the shorter backswings of Jon Rahm and Tony Finau among others. Whether it’s through physical limitations or natural body movements, a shorter swing is beneficial to all kinds of
players.
According to Butch Harmon, “I’ve shortened a lot of swings, but never lengthened one.”
Why is a shorter swing so effective?
- It’s more efficient for many golfers
- It’s simpler to execute
- It’s much easier on the body
- And it significantly improves the likelihood of hitting the ball squarely
