How to swing like a pro every time you play Golf!

If you want to stop the sway in your golf swing so that you can have more consistency and effortless power, all you need is a $4 exercise band and these three exercises. So, before we get started, what is a sway? Very simply, it's when your center of mass moves outside your base of support.

Your body moves out of your foot line, specifically the inside of your feet. So, as you swing back, if your body moves outside, you're in a worse position, you have to go back, and it's going to be very inefficient and lacking speed. What we want to do is create that loaded rotation.

So, we manage our center of gravity as we tilt away from the ball that lead that trail shoulder is going to be significantly lower than the lead shoulder with your driver, and then as we turn, instead of going too far sideways, what we want to do is turn into that trail hip. So, your trail hip is going to rotate and load. Once we get that position, your center of gravity is maintained within the feet, and that is when you get more powerful and more consistent.

So, with this mobility, we're going to help you get that position time after time. Exercise one is all about maintaining a neutral spine through an active core, and this is the all fours pull away. We've got a lower attachment, it's a mid-resistance exercise band, and we're going to take this all fours position.

Immediately, we need that neutral spine. We don't need to be rounded, we don't need to be too much extended. So, from here, we're solid in the core, and we're facing down.

Then, we're going to take that resistance away and pull it out to the side. Very simple movement, but this requires upper body strength and stability and the active core so that we're not moving around as we stretch that band. If you are stable, core is active, work that full range of motion, you're building that proprioception and awareness of how to stay in position and how to create movement around that super solid position.

From there, we move up the chain and we're looking at hip rotation. As we just talked about, a sway happens when your center of gravity moves outside of your base of support. Basically, your body gets outside of your feet and outside of your hips, so you can't move that effectively.

This is the rotational squat. And this is going to load the hips better than ever, and this resistance is going to help you improve that positioning and build the awareness so you can do it during your golf swing. We go into a set split stance position with the outside leg leading forward.

Get balanced, go into a power off hold so the band is out in front of you, and then you're going to rotate and touch the trail knee to the ground. Push up and go. This is how you really work that hip rotation, because if you are not in position, if you sway, you're going to fall down, okay?

So, this is enhancing the exact pattern that we need to load and then rotate with power into the ball. Band out in front, stretch, we rotate, load and push up. Feel that rotation and go.

You can get a gauge on how far you rotate as well with the band, and what we're looking for is that full 90° turn. You can see we're working hard to stay balanced, and you can move a little bit faster as you get more confident. By using that band, you're stretching through the core, rotating against resistance, and then loading into that trail hip.

This is huge for your golf swing, and if you can replicate this position, you'll always be in position to create great ball striking. Now we have the rotation, we have the stability, we get into a more dynamic sequenced movement. This is the step to release.

And what we're working on here is making sure we don't slide through the ball. When we go sideways into impact, that is a weak position. You're not going to hit good shots.

What we want to do is push into the ground, fire the hip, and clear the hip. This is what all the best players do, and we know that you want to do it as well. That is why we train this movement.

Back to the lower attachment, we're going to take a grip. You can go directly to your golf grip if you want to. As long as you got a solid hold, you are good to go.

We're going to start with our feet together, then we're going to step out dynamically into our golf posture. This is what gives you that extra push. By stepping, we move, we create our weight transfer, and what we don't want to do is collapse, cuz then you can't really move the band at the top.

What we want to do is as we step, we push, rotate, and then stretch the band just like you're in your golf swing. So, if we go a little bit faster, step, push, and rotate. This gives you the exact feeling of using the ground like the best players in the world.

So, mid-resistance band, step to posture, and release. Every single time, as that lead foot hits the ground, what you're trying to do is push this hip up and around. Here, clear.

That is the way that we're looking for, right? So, into the ground, push and clear. No collapsing forwards.

Want to get out of the way to maximize power, consistency, and accuracy. Step, release. >> [snorts] >> You can build that up in speed over time.

What we're looking for right now is precision. If you can get the exact sequence, step, push, rotate, and then release, that is where we take it into the golf swing. That is how you reduce that sway, and that is how you play better golf every time you get to the tee.

So, we've been working in the gym, your body is in better shape already to rotate better, stay in that foundation, and create a repeatable golf swing. Now, we have two super dynamic drills to stop the sway. Remember, sway is when the body is going sideways.

So, we're going to get super dynamic. Number one is the loading step to swing drill. So, we're actively going to go into our trail side, and this is going to teach you to not continue going in that direction.

As you step and load, if we continue going, that's the old sway. It's going to exaggerate, and it's not going to end well. With the additional dynamic step, from that standing position, we got into the backswing, go, and swing through.

Okay? That dynamic loading of the trail side will give you the exact feels needed to stop the sway. So, we go again, we get into position, we step into our golf posture, and really accelerate through.

I want you to exaggerate our feeling. As we step back, that's how we get that ground force. That's how we get that reactionary force.

That is how you swing faster and stop the sway. And then, if you want to work on the way through, we do the same drill, but to the target. So, now we start with a backswing with our feet together, step, and swing.

Okay? Again, these are speed drills as well as great drills to stop your sway. So, as we step forward, again, we're looking to not collapse and continue going to the target, which is the sway.

We're looking to step, push, rotate, and fire. Just like that step to release. It's exactly what we're training, and when you take it to the swing, you generate incredible forces to deliver to the ball, building speed and consistency when done well.

Now, to then into your practice, if you did one step to loading and then one step to the target, and go straight into the ball, all we're trying to do is replicate that feeling. We get dynamic. As we swing back, we put all of the pressure in the trail foot.

As we swing through, we release it and push out of the ground with the lead foot. Once you can deliver that speed, the body is repeating the swing the way that you want to, and you'll see incredible results every time you get to work on your game, building speed, consistency, and finishing off that swing.
