Hi Pal
Swaying can be traced back to the start of the backswing. You should aim for a little latteral movement, just enough to take your weight onto the inside of your right foot. If your weight comes to far across on the backswing then you will sway on your downswing.

Try this drill
Place an umbrella or and old club shaft , upright , into the ground about an inch outside your right foot and tilt it slightly towards you. Now take your set up and begin your backswing. Try to barely touch the umbrella with your right hip as you swing the club back ,this will stop you from taking your weight too far across and thus stop you from swaying on the downswing.
incorporate this drill into your practise sessions and you will soon stop swaying.

cheers pal.
