Sway
What is actually happening
On the backswing your lower body slides laterally away from the target instead of turning — the trail hip drifts outside the trail foot.
What it costs you
Once you sway off the ball you have to slide back exactly the same amount to strike it cleanly — that timing fails under pressure and produces fat and thin shots and a big loss of power.
Load INTO your trail hip, not past it — feel pressure on the inside of your trail foot at the top.
Trail-Foot Wall Drill
Set up with the outside of your trail foot against a wall or alignment-stick stake. Make backswings turning your hip behind you; if you sway, you will feel yourself press into the wall. Ten reps feeling rotation, then hit balls keeping that feel.
Is this the one costing you shots?
