Sway Your Way To Way Better Golf



To SWAY or not to SWAY? That is the question.

And the answer is, categorically, to SWAY! You should sway you pelvis TOWARDS the target in the downswing and follow-through. If fact, PGA Tour average would see the centre of the pelvis move some 6-8 inches towards the target from the top of the backswing, to the finish of the swing.

As far as the backswing is concerned, however, NO SWAY is the name of the game, with PGA Tour averages seeing ZERO inches of pelvic sway.

So a CENTERED BACKSWING, followed by a WEIGHT TRANSFER TOWARDS the target in the downswing and follow-through.

Let me share with you two of my “go to” drills to allow you to learn the correct feels and master the sways in your your golf swing.

    Great video!! QQ though— in the back swing, should you keep (or have the feel of) your hands in front of you?
    Really trying to grind the back swing, with the hands in and I feel like when I tilt and turn, my hands/club get behind me. Like when I use the grid, I feel like they are low and behind me. The club gets lost on me alot of time and I make more contact and low duck hooks.

    How much weight should I be feeling on my front foot at the top of my back swing. I always feel really restricted and it seems like my hands don't go deep enough around my body. Fantastic effort on the channel please keep up the great work.

    Watch Adam Scott ,Xander they move to the right a few inches! I wouldn't say that turn around their centers. Second during the downswing not only do the move the hips towards the target but they also move the upper bodies. U should call it lateral movement not SWAY! Thanks for trying. Go to The Athletic motion guys they have it on gears.

    Good stuff Rob. Something I've never seen mentioned regarding this issue is the angle formed between the ground, the right hip and the right foot. I've watched Hogan and most Pro golfers demonstrate this. At address, if a line is drawn between the right foot and right hip, then at the top of the backswing the right hip is nearer the target than it was at address. The angle of the right leg to ground at the top of the backswing has increased.

    Thanks Rob. They way you show and explain in all of your videos the fundamentals of the golf swing really resonate with me and I'm sure countless others. As a retired engineer the way you show data really make the words and explanations hit home so to speak. Now to get at it.

    Amazing insight as always Rob! I am guilty of focusing so much on impact that I forget to get that shift/turn incorporated because if I then think of it the height and length greatly improves.

    To me ,the theory of weight shift and swaying is the single most contentious issue of the golf swing. It has damaged many golfers swings. I don’t think there is much wrong with Nicklaus’s coach holding his hair or Ballesteros having a club resting against his head during the swing.

    Regarding the timing and inclusiveness of the forward sway, the instructors at AMG have used Gears to demonstrate that the best players (tour pros) start the leftward sway with *both*centers from the sternum to the hips (but not the head) while the club is still moving back clockwise. Brian Manzella has made similar statements, based on gears. Your emphasis seems to be more on the sway of the lower center. I greatly respect them and I greatly respect you. I would be grateful if you would clarify this. Thank you very much.
