Welcome to DL Golf Tips with David Leathem Golf, your go-to destination for golf instruction! In this comprehensive video, I delve into one of the most common golf swing issues plaguing golfers of all levels: swaying in the backswing or sliding in the backswing. Join me on a journey to understanding the intricacies of hip movement in the golf swing and hip rotation in the backswing and its profound impact on fixing your sway off the golf ball.

In this video, I’ll explore the concept of swaying in the backswing and its implications on your overall golf swing. Using TrackMan Launch Monitor technology, ill dissect the effects of swaying off the ball in the backswing on key parameters such as angle of attack, low point and dynamic loft revealing how even subtle deviations can lead to significant inconsistency on your ability to strike your irons with compression.

I'm here to guide you through the process of rectifying this common issue of hips sway and unlocking your true golfing potential. We'll start by defining what backswing sway entails, examining its root causes, and understanding why it inhibits your ability to achieve that compression with your irons.

Central to our discussion is the crucial role of hip movement and hip rotation in the backswing in the golf swing. I'll provide a detailed breakdown of the proper hip rotation in the backswing, drawing insights from the swings of professional golfers and highlighting the biomechanical principles at play. By mastering the correct hip movement, you'll not only eliminate backswing sway but also lay the foundation for a more powerful, consistent, and efficient golf swing.

But theory alone won't be enough – I’ll put theory into practice with an actionable golf drill designed to ingrain proper hip movement patterns and promote a more centered pivot in the backswing. Whether you're a beginner looking to establish sound fundamentals or an experienced golfer seeking to refine your golf swing, this golf drill will serve as invaluable tools on your journey to improvement.
