Anyone have any recommendations for exercises to increase your backswing?

Bought a Zepp 2 recently and one of the glaring flaws I have found is that my backswing caps out at about 200-215°. This is obviously costing me a good chunk of yards and seems to be the only thing that is not correctable by training. Anyone have any flexibility exercise recommendations to correct this?

Have you thought about a weighted trainer like orange whip? It carried a lot of momentum through backswing and produces a decent stretch back there

Short and Wide backswing has more power than long / less timing with the hands and wrists too

The only thing that matters in the backswing is what happens from the belt line thru the finish. Everything else should feel natural so that you feel confident enough to fire thru.
See Finau swing
ETA: Longer the backswing the more precise your timing will need to be and the more time it has to unravel. Keep it short.

For most people, the longer the backswing the shorter they’re gonna hit the ball.
If trying to get a bigger shoulder turn, make sure you’re not standing up to do so.
What are these numbers measuring?

Doesn’t seem to cost Tony finau or Jon Rahm much yardage. Idk what your swing looks like but I’d be leery of lengthening the back swing. A common saying amongst instructors is that they’ve shortened a thousand swings and only lengthened a couple

Fkexibility helps as much as strength.

Tyga it’s measuring the plane of the club. A perfectly flat club with a full turn at the top of the backswing would be 270 degrees. My swing pretty much stops a touch past three quarters because of my flexibility Issues.
