RE: Back Tension
Try using a "Formaster" or similar. If you are using your back muscles, it will feel the same, and you will be able to draw properly. If not, then you will struggle to draw, but at least you will then have the equipment to practice with.
It is almost impossible to coach yourself in this fine detail - you need someone to observe everything and work with you. If you are not confident in the coaches at your club, then get in touch with your County coaching officer who will be able to suggest others at nearby clubs (yes, there are some!)
