Golf sway is a problem that approximately 40% of us struggle with, resulting in poor contact, limited consistency, and a lack of power.

In the video below, I’ll show you an exercise to wake up your Glute Medius, and then a simple drill to enable you to stabilize on your rear leg during your backswing.
Try out these exercises… stop your golf sway… And get after Old Man Par!

“Glute Medius” I honestly didn`t really notice that this could make such a change in the way I swing, this is a great tip! And very funny when you think about it. Overall, I think these exercises are really going to help my golf game.
Thanks, I really do need to work on my golf sway. My Glute Medius needs waking up. I’ll try this exercise. Bookmarked!
Very nice website here! I am a first time visitor and I like what I see. I didn’t know my butt was asleep but apparently it is because my golf sway is horrible :/
