Sway
What is actually happening
Your body wants a bigger turn, and it's chasing one the only way it knows how: by sliding instead of coiling. Going back, your lower body drifts away from the target until your trail hip slips outside your trail foot. It feels like you're loading power. You're actually letting it leak out. A hip that slides off the ball has nothing left to coil against.
What it costs you
Slide an inch off the ball and you owe that inch back, on time, every swing. Timing like that is the first thing pressure takes away. The fat shots and thin shots both start here, and the power you swayed for never shows up, because a slide gives your lead side nothing to push against.
Load into your trail hip, not past it. At the top, the pressure should sit on the inside of your trail foot.
Trail-Foot Wall Drill
Set the outside of your trail foot against a wall, or push an alignment stick into the ground just outside it. Now make backswings. A real coil turns your trail hip behind you and never touches the stick. A sway bumps it almost immediately, and that bump is the whole lesson, delivered faster than any video review. Make ten practice turns until the top of your backswing feels like pressure screwed into the inside of your trail foot. Then hit five balls keeping that feel. Film one face-on and freeze it at P4, the top. Your trail hip should still be inside the line while your upper body is fully turned. That picture is a loaded swing.
