 Set up at address with your feet no more than a couple of golf balls apart, which will promote a more natural turn away from the ball on the backswing (PHOTO: Eddie Meeks). Swaying during the swing is one of the most fatal flaws in golf. The swing is a turning motion, and too much lateral body movement can lead to inconsistency and undesirable results. If this is something you have trouble eliminating from your swing, take heart — there’s a simple drill that’s almost guaranteed to solve the problem. On the driving range, hit golf balls with your feet together. Your feet don’t have to be touching, but your heels should only be a maximum of a couple of golf balls apart to experience and maintain the feel of a proper turn. Hit a few shots like this and you’ll find it difficult to sway back and forth through the swing. Instead, you’ll be turning naturally away from the ball on the backswing and then rotating back through on the downswing. Another positive result of this drill is that it ingrains the feel of keeping your head behind the ball at impact, an essential element of consistent ballstriking. Try this drill and you’ll see results immediately. Eric Lohman is PGA director of golf at Oak Creek Golf Club in Irvine.
