How to Stop Swaying with One Simple Feeling

Do you sway and struggle to address the golf ball perfectly? It’s a foundation-level mistake that significantly affects your strike at the ball. This video will explain how you can overcome this issue with a single exercise and build an ability to control the bottom of your golf swing and hit some better shots.

The problem

Swaying or sliding the hips away from the golf ball is one of the common mistakes a large number of golfers commit that affects their performance right from the start. As they raise the golf club in their backswing, the hips move away from the target, which does not help create an effective coil.

If the hips slide way off the target, it will involve a similar journey at the time of return before striking the ball that will hardly carry enough strength for the shot we desire and likely causes a series of errors.

To verify if you sway a lot:

1. Focus on your tailbone at the stance and consider it the center of your hips and a reference point.

2. As you backswing to the top of your head, use your imagination to note how far your hips and tailbone          have gone.

3. If there are too from the center point, you will know the magnitude of your hip movement.

The Solution

The control over the movement of hips is of great importance during golf swing as it acts as a pivotal position, allowing the upper body to swing on top of it while taking the golf club away from the target around the back and returning steadily to the ball.

Your upper body should move back and forth easily while rotating on top of your hips, serving as a pivot.

Here is the drill:

1. Try creating an imaginary scale at the stance and keeping your tailbone at the center of it, the midpoint of your hips.

2. As you swing, think about turning your tailbone to the inside of your left heel, and don’t let it go away on your scale.

3. Thinking this way and restricting the movement of your tailbone will keep it more centered, allowing you to create better acceleration while going up and coming back to the target. It will help bring the bottom of the golf swing in front of the golf ball nicely, and you will be in a position to strike a great shot.

You need to start slow and do rehearsals; this small exercise will go a long way in controlling your swaying problem.

Summary

To control overextending your body away from the golf ball, create a reference point with your tailbone when you take the stance and try it getting closer to the target by turning it over to the inside of your left heel as you turn away from the target till the time you come back to strike it.
