DRILL OF THE MONTH
By: Bob Schade


One of the biggest problems I see on the lesson tee is the lateral sway. This is where the hips move from side to side instead of turning inside the heels. This causes many of the common swing faults. Here is a drill that will help control the lateral sway.

1. Take your normal address position.
2. Pick up the toe of your right foot.
3. Rotate your right toe to the left pointing at the golf ball.
4. Put your right toe on the ground.

You are now set up to combat the lateral sway. Start off slowly, using only a half speed swing. Increase your speed as you get comfortable and can keep your balance. Practice this drill on the driving range by hitting 5 golf balls using the drill and then 5 golf balls in your normal hitting position. Good luck.
