Here’s How to Stop Swaying in Your Backswing

Too much lateral lower body movement will stop you making good contact with your shots. Megan Johnston has a quick tip to help you keep your swing stable and get rid of the sway.

If you are someone who sways in your back swing with too much lateral lower body movement, this may cause you to have poor contact with your shots. Try this simple drill that I use in my lessons all of the time.

Here's How to Stop Swaying When You Swing
Here's How to Stop Swaying When You Swing

Place a golf ball under your trail foot heel right in the center of your heel. This is the right foot for a right handed golfer.

Your goal is to turn normally and at the top of your backswing, you should feel stable on top of the golf ball. If your foot or your shoe rolls, you have too much movement and that could be causing poor contact.

Start practicing with a golf ball under your rear foot to help you get rid of that sway.
