backswing
Golfer's initial arc
The backswing is the initial backward movement of a club, bat, racket, or arm before striking.
In golf, tennis, and baseball, the backswing stores energy for the forward swing: He took a long backswing before driving the ball.
A restricted backswing limits power but may improve control.
