You kind of answered your own question. Stay still over the ball, the less lower body movement the better. Then get set, maybe even pause for a second before starting your downswing. If you want to have a count in your head to help rhythm that is good too.

i saw this drill somewhere, cant remember where though. stick a shaft in the ground right up against youre back foot and swing. the goal is to not hit the shaft or move it.

you can do it either way. this pic shows how to do it so you dont sway forward.

If you have an old shaft, stick it in the ground on the outside of your right shoe(if you're a righty), and if you sway you'll hit it with your hips or legs on the way back. See if that will help, and good luck!

swing around your head. imagine that there is an axis running from the top of your noggin to the crack in your behind. with the exception of turning (not swaying) your hips, try to make that imaginary line stay perfectly still

I recommend you bump your back hip and knee toward the target (inside your back foot) at address. That will preset you in a position that will discourage excessive movement laterally away from the ball. If you look at a lot of pros you will see this bumped position at setup.

Place a golfball under the outside edge of your right foot. By doing this it will restrict you from swaying back. Stand up where ever you are and give it a try, also it is easy to do on the range without looking like a weekend golfer with "Tin Cup" gizmos all over the place...

Simple and one of the best ways I've found to stop sway or ankle roll. It forces you to keep the weight on the inside of the right foot.

As a kid I had this affliction. Learned to keep flex in my right knee and that seemed to stop the big sway. It is okay to load up on the right side but the killer is when you get outside of inside edge of the right foot ( hope that does not confuse you ).

Hit some 7 irons with your knees knocked in ( a la Arnold Palmer putting stance).

If you sway standing like that... " seek your local PGA professional...."

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By iacas ·

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
