Golf Tip: Reverse Pivot Tip
One of the most prevalent faults with amateur golfers is a reverse pivot. I have notice that one in every three amateurs have a faulty tendency to shift their weight in the opposite direction while swinging the club. This leads to loss of distance and control. Let me explain...The transfer of weight is a fundamental element in a successful golf swing. It creates momentum which is vital in hitting a good shot. While at address, your weight should be equally distributed on each leg. During the backswing, your weight must be shifted to the right leg. This is done by turning your weight onto the right leg and hip. It is not a sway to the right but a turn. Imagine you are in a big round barrel. You can also lift the left leg and feel all the weight distributed on the right leg. Once you are set on the right leg this enables you to have a powerful motion to follow the natural progression of the body movement and transfer all that weight from the right leg to the left leg. Again in a barrel and not a slide or sway. The object is to move the weight first away from and then towards the target. It is not important to keep the head still but important to keep the head back behind the ball at all times. Be sure to finish high. Your results will be increased power and accuracy. Good luck!
