backswings
Club draws back
Backswings is the plural of backswing, the initial backward movement of a club, bat, racket, or arm before striking.
In golf, tennis, and baseball, the backswing generates power for the forward swing: His backswings were too short to drive the ball with any force.
The quality of the backswing often determines the quality of the shot.
