Don’t Sway

You can correct  this  swing flaw by keeping  your weight distributed evenly on the  insides  of both feet.    The backswing should coil around a central axis.    During your backswing, make sure you keep ample weight on the inside of your  right foot (right handers), which will prevent the swing from  rotating off axis (swaying).   Expect solid golf shots and a lowering of your handicap.
