What is Pelvis Sway?

Pelvis Sway identifies excessive lateral movement in the lower body, leading to inconsistencies.

Definition:  Lateral movement of the pelvis. It is set to 0 at address. Compared to address, the numbers are negative when your pelvis is laterally sliding away from the target and positive when your pelvis is sliding towards the target.  

How to Apply Pelvis Sway

 📍 Takeaway to the Top — Monitor Trail-Side Movement
Too much pelvis sway towards the trail side during the backswing can be bad. A common pattern is excessive Pelvis Sway away from the target.

📍 Before the Top — Look for Re-Centering
The best players in the world tend to recenter their pelvis before reaching the top of the swing, helping create a more efficient transition into the downswing.

📍 At Impact — Check Pelvis Sway
Check Pelvis Sway at impact in relation to Chest Sway, an important relationship for quality of impact.
