Easy Way To Get A Rotational Swing

Paul Wilson introduces a progressive drill starting with the feet together to help golfers transition from a 'sideways' swaying motion to a pure rotational swing. By gradually widening the stance while maintaining a circular feel, players can eliminate over-the-top moves and hit effortless draws with more consistency.

• Begin practice with feet touching to master the 'around and around' rotational feeling.
• Gradually widen your stance in small increments (2-3 inches at a time) to maintain the rotational feel.
• Lateral swaying (sideways movement) is a primary cause of reverse pivots and over-the-top swings.
• This drill can be performed with any club, including the driver, to emphasize path over power.
• Focus on the feeling of a circle rather than moving side-to-side to produce a more effortless swing.
