Driver swing and stance

[adi2008]

so i am a high handicaper and been working with a pro on getting my swing down.  How come when he has me keep me stance only shoulder width apart i can hit better and straighter drives compared to if i widen my stance?  Is it because i have too much hip sway with the wider stance?

I'm not an expert...but if you have hip sway, you don't rotate your hips properly.   Check out this thread.

Centered pivot

is that why having my feet closer together helps because it forces me to turn instead of sway?

Yes feet closer together can encourage more turn than sway.
