Why your reverse pivot is costing power #golfswing #golftips
In this Meandmygolf instructional tip, learn how a reverse pivot causes fat contact and severe loss of distance by loading weight onto the lead foot during the backswing. Using a simple alignment stick placed against the trail leg, golfers learn to coil properly into their back side for cleaner strikes and increased power.
A reverse pivot places weight onto the lead leg in the backswing, leading to fat contact and power loss.

Place an alignment stick vertically next to your trail leg to feel proper loading against the stick.
Proper trail-side loading sets up an athletic downswing shift toward the target for better compression.
