## What Causes a Hip Sway?

Lateral movement of the hips instead of rotation in the backswing, causing reverse pivots and loss of power.

The right hip moving laterally past the right foot in the backswing. Best seen from face-on.

### Key frames to check:

-   P2–P4 — are the hips rotating or sliding?
-   Lead knee — is it collapsing inward?

[

### Reverse Pivot

Weight moves to the front foot on the backswing and back foot on the downswing — the opposite of correct weight transfer.

### Loss of Distance

A combination of faults — early release, poor rotation, and off-center contact — that reduce clubhead speed and transfer.
