STOP SWAYING OR SLIDING IN THE GOLF SWING

This video is about How to stop swaying in the golf swing. Many golfers can't stop swaying and sliding in their golf swings particular on their backswing causing a substantial drop in power and accuracy.
In this golf lesson Danny Maude reveals why despite many golf lessons golfers struggle to stop the sway and what they can go and practice today to remove it for good.
------------------
SUMMARY:
------------------
3 Key Points
1. The shape of the backswing is a spiral upwards not simply around or a transference of your weight the right and then to the left
2. Make practice deliberate on the range. Don't be in a rush to hit balls. Focus on the change you are trying to make in the swing and forget about the result of the shot in the short term.
3. Practice using mirrors at home so you can get used to the changes

ABOUT DANNY

Thanks for stopping by. I created this website as a resource just for you to support you on your golfing journey as I know how tricky learning this game can be…to say the least!
I personally found learning the game too long and difficult in the early days. I read all the books, watched all the videos but my game was not improving. Then after studying various forms of neuro science, motor learning, psychology and personal development in less than two years I went from struggling golfer to the final stage of the Open Championship.
On KZfaq and my personal website (www.dannymaude.com) I will bring you the most up to date training, training that is getting tangible results for my clients right now. I don’t know where you are in your golfing journey, you could be just starting out or maybe your body isn’t as flexible as it once was or you’ve got ambitions to slash your handicap. Wherever you are I’ve created a place here you can learn, share your ideas, ask questions and get all the support you need to enjoy this great game.
Be prepared though. If its a quick fix you are after Im not your man. Here I will give you step-by-step advice that you can take straight to the practice ground and apply to the course but it will require you to get stuck in, screw up…a lot, practice some more and then watch those scores tumble
I’ve had the pleasure of coaching thousands of students all around the world and if you are up for the challenge and are ready to get in the game…LETS GO TO WORK!

Thank you for this important instruction Danny. So many of us have had the misconception of the weight transfer being a lateral shift back and then forward. Which, as you know, is totally false. I've struggled for years trying to stop swaying, and so many times I was under the false impression I stopped when actually a video of my swing showed I was still swaying. It was astonishing how difficult it was to stop and equally as astonishing the improvements in power and ball striking! Wonderful delivery of the instruction, thanks again.

Among the best instructional videos on the internet-many thanks. It seems when you demonstrate the spiral backswing you are slightly leaning left with a mini reverse pivot. How do you maintain the spine tilt to the right while you're performing the spiral? Also, please consider doing a video on the role of forearm rotation and wrist hinge in the swing- how much is correct and when does it occur? Many thanks!

Hi Danny, I had trouble with this and I used the mirror technique you mentioned for practice. What really helped was drawing a vertical line on the mirror in black felt tip and then placing my right hip on the line at set up. You can instantly see if your hip goes outside the line on your backswing which equals a sway. I would forgive myself if my hip came INSIDE the line, but it shouldn’t move more than the width of a golf ball if it does at all. Make sure the wife is out before drawing on the mirror. Thanks for the great videos.

I’ve started to watch a lot of peoples swings. You can see the knees bend to move the hips. Lead knee bend trail leg straightening, a sort of butt move towards lead leg to start the downswing while reversing the knee bend, but more weight towards front side and really an increase in weight. I do have a more connected upper body though also. Kind of hogan esc. But nowhere as good. But I do tend to feel myself sway instead of turn sometimes when I try to increase the foot plant

Hi Danny thanks again. The sway video u did ( spiral PC ) whom I know well was again super. The ball under the right foot we did yrs ago another good one. However, my tendency certainly as I got older was to move the Top half ( bottom half quite stable) I copied this move way back from Howard Clarke...when I practiced/ played with him when he made Walker Cup & Then Ryder Cup as u may know. He was a powerful ball striker with a tendency to ‚ move around & up so to speak. I became a good iron player but not a good driver ( 3w was my driving club wood ) then a TMade brassie..and so on improving my driving a lot but my irons suffered as my body changed & Kalk in my shoulder caused me discomfort. Am pleased to say my injuries are away & that I do hope to play Senior Open at Royal Lytham Next yr...although I will be 65:) I hit still around 250 & a bit more depending on conditions. 7i is around 150 on a good strike but am not consistent as I would like & have tended to get stuck or have fear to start the swing because of mishitting...u understand causing some anxiety. I know it’s a long story but it may help u & others that the past present & future kick in...of course I work on my mind to allow me to play freely..I still score around the par zone in Austria...on a 6600yd course. I would really like to get my iron play sorted ...many thanks again Danny

If that seems to work for you I have no problem with that

@MrBarrynicholas 7 жыл бұрын

Surely there has to be some lateral movement with the lower body on the downswing (towards the target) otherwise we would be striking the ball exactly as it was at address. The arc of the swing needs to be moved sideways, bringing the lowest point of the arc just target side of the ball. The staircase thought works well in the backswing, but then has to be shifted for it to work throughout the rest of the swing.

@DanielMaude 7 жыл бұрын

barry nicholas, great comment Barry. There is a gentle shift towards the target but it's minimal. It only needs to move a couple of inches to have a ball turf strike. This training is for those that are swaying excessively. Too much lateral movement reduces rotation and hip clearance through impact. Hope this clarifies things

Peter Esposito, yes you do. The difference is when you spiral back down with the woods the ball position is further forward more in line with the front foot so the clubhead hits the ball on the way up as the body spirals up into the finish.

What effect does sliding forward on the swing have and is this a bad thing to do? Thanks for this video by the way

@DanielMaude 4 жыл бұрын

I think most of the best players have some sort of slide going forward. They balance it out with rotation though

Danny, in comparing this (which is excellent) with your other awesome video about setting up to the ball, it seems like they contrast in that one has your left shoulder high at address and the other is lower. I think it's almost more of a optical illusion and this probably confuses me most. Thoughts?

@DanielMaude 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. Having looked at the two videos I probably exaggerate the set up a little to illustrate the point in the How to address the ball video. If you feel your left shoulder may be a problem just experiment on the range with slightly different heights and see what happens. As pros the left shoulder will be lower at address when we play lower shots and higher if higher shots

Should the backswing spiral start with the feet / ankles and wind up or does the act of swinging the club up and back create the spiral or does it matter?

@DanielMaude 6 жыл бұрын

Great question Steve, it’s different for everyone but what gives my clients more success is when they sense their feet anchored to the ground and the pressure starts from the ground/feet.

I have found this really helpful and is working. However sometimes I find I come down too steep (particularly with the driver) and hit the ball far too high. How can I get the ratio correct?

@DanielMaude 5 жыл бұрын

Keep your back facing the target a little longer as you start the downswing...this can help the club drop on to a flatter plane

Thanks Danny - i will try that drill out. Can you explain when we uncoil our body during the start of the downswing, does the bottom part of our body stay still? Or we 'open' the bottom part of the body towards the target and then start the downswing? The reason i ask this is if i place a training stick under the ball and in line with the direction i want to hit towards i notice that after i make contact with the ball i immediately hit the stick. This is how i physically see that i have done an out to in swing. Hope you can give me some pointers or direct me to one of your videos to help cure this issue.

I feel like most golf is thought wrong. The lead side is more of the axis point for me anyways. I’ve started playing better golf after this. Most people try to play with the center of their bodies. I tend to play with my lead side as more of a post and the body more swinging around that point instead of the middle

Danny. What about the sway forward on the down swing

@DanielMaude 4 жыл бұрын

there isn't a sway forward on the downswing, when you see the pros move forward its more of a squatting of the body that moves the body towards the target. Imagine tossing a ball towards the target, you don't slide towards it but instead increase the downward pressure of the feet into the ground and naturally rotate

@dannymaude if I keep my weight on the inside if my back foot on my backswing, is that a good way to tell myself I am not swaying? What if my weight feels flat on my backswing? - its because I tend to raise my front heel on my backswing. Thanks in advance.

@cubfan69kmz85 3 жыл бұрын

Danny, nice video as always. I have a question. My lower body does not sway, but my head moves back a fair bit in my swing. I do get it back to close to where it was at address at impact, but still tend to hit fat shots. Do you think the head movement has anything to do with the fat shots? Btw, I have tried everything to stop the head from moving too much, but it keeps on happening. As soon as. I start the move back my head goes with the club seemingly.
