    Posted: 20 Aug 2012 at 8:48pm
Usually when a golfer sways, a couple of things happen in their backswing. The right knee often straightens at the top of the backswing. Also, the weight moves too far to the right and it is often on the outside part of the right foot. This can cause a golfer to lose balance and will also result in a lower of power and consistency.


To fix your sway, first it is imperative to get into a good setup position with good angles. The knees should be bent so the shoelaces are covered up and the hips should also be bent with the arms hanging down and extended. Once a golfer gets into a good setup, they can then start to make a proper turn and shift their weight as they swing the club from rbz irons for sale online shop back. The weight shift should follow the turn. Simply shifting your weight on the backswing without turning can cause this sway problem in the golf swing.


The club swings back which is followed by the shoulders turning and then lastly the hips will turn as everything moves together to the top of the backswing. The body needs to work together and things must move the in correct order. Once the rbz irons starts back on the backswing, the body will then follow the club and the weight will shift a bit to the inside part of the right foot. This is a big key. It's important that at the top of the backswing the weight has moved to the inside part of the right foot. Keeping the right knee flexed in the backswing and at the top of the swing will keep the weight where it is supposed to be on the inside of the right or back foot.


A good move to the top of the backswing eliminates any sway in the swing. The sway simply cannot happen when the body turns and the golfer maintains their angles from the setup. The club will tend to get in the slot at the top of the backswing where the downswing can then follow naturally. Maintaining good posture and angles throughout the swing will lead to the club being able to come back down on the same path or swing plane which it swung back on in the backswing. This is a huge key for being able to hit consistent golf shots.
