💥 Want to Eliminate Sway and Lock In Ball Position? Try This Simple Drill.

If you struggle with swaying off the ball or find yourself constantly searching for the right ball position, this drill is a game-changer—and it’s something I’ve used with PGA Tour winner Mac Hughes to dial in his stability and consistency.

Let’s dive in 👇

Watch the video breakdown here!

👣 Start With Your Feet Together

We all know excessive motion leads to inconsistency—especially swaying. To train out the sway and stay centered over the ball, try this:

• Grab a wedge and take a few swings with your feet completely together.

• This instantly removes your ability to sway, forcing you to rotate and stay centered.

• You’ll feel your core and legs doing the work, not your hips sliding all over the place.

📏 Gradually Widen Your Stance

Once you’ve hit a few shots like that:

• Slowly widen your stance to your normal width.

• As you go, retain that stable, centered feeling over the golf ball.

• You’ll find it’s much easier to control your low point and make solid contact.

✅ Bonus: This is one of the easiest ways to discover proper ball position. Start narrow, widen naturally—and where the ball ends up? That’s usually right where it should be.

🎯 Keeps the Club in Front of You

A lot of players who sway also get the club stuck behind them. This drill naturally promotes a more neutral takeaway and helps keep the club on plane through impact and into the finish.

Start narrow. Stay centered. Build width. It’s a simple progression with massive returns for ball-striking.
