Simplifiy the backswing

[bcoak]

I hate thinking about moves in back swing. It leads to tension and lack of feel. I wish I could find a simple BS thought or move to eliminate these thoughts from my action. Any thoughts/suggestion?

Ummm.... more backswing practice until it feeels natural... but if you also hate practicing your only other option is to stop thinking... because what you are suffering from is called "tactile dysfunction"...

So you're looking for a swing thought to get rid of swing thoughts?

Not really. Just think it should be easier to just put it place

Incorporate the trigger to rock on the motion.

Just turn the right hip back and depending on the shot create a little width in the takeaway, things will take care of their self after that. Dont worry too much about getting into perfect positions in the backswing it is not all that important. The hands have an uncanny way of getting into a good position at the top unless you are doing something drastically wrong.

I like back swing thoughts, it pretty much guarantees I'll be distracted from trying to think on the down swing.

Just watch Bobby Jones's backswing and impersonate that.

if backswing thoughts are giving you problems, you can slow it down and work on feeling the position you want to be in at the top. once you groove that position, how you get there with your backswing doesn't matter much, if at all. there's NO rush.

I just set my club up there. Really I try to get it in a certain spot at the top, and that's about it. How it gets there doesn't matter so much to me. I think rhythm is much more important than anything, though.
