I was wondering about how high is everyone's backswing.I may need to raise mine a bit I'm not even shoulder high with mine.It's not to look cool or anything I don't think I have enough ball speed

thx

Level with the floor works best for me. If I need to,I can take it up over my head,but accuracy suffers.

I'm kind of known for a high backswing and high speed. But I'm a big guy so even a shoulder height backswing is higher than most peoples. There are tons of people who use hardly any backswing and still score huge. It's just whatever works for you.

here's a little tip I read on making your backswing higher (my accuracy has actually improved too).

Let the ball drop from your set position, then when the ball reaches about shoulder level, lean forward slightly. It should raise your backswing and give you extra speed if done at the right time.

Nothing special here neither. Backswing is shoulder height. Gives me enough speed .

About shoulder height, maybe a bit lower but not by much. Since I'm a stroker, I don't really feel that I need to have a really high backswing to be effective.

Shoulder high at best, probably a touch lower.

A little over my head. I can get it higher or lower, though. Depends on the condition.
