re: reverse pivot

Hi John,

Try GregJWillis's 'walking drill' - http://members.cox.net/gregjwillis/LESSON2.htm - this will help you get the feeling of when you need to transfer your weight.

What is most likely creating your 'reverse C' is an incorrect turn. Many recreational golfers are guilty of what is know as a 'fake turn'. This may fee like a real turn, but is really only a dip of the left shoulder. Dipping your left shoulder puts your weight over your left leg and you now have nowhere to shift your weight on your throughswing except away from the target.

If the left shoulder dip is what is causing your 'reverse C', you need to practice a full and level turn of the shoulders. At the top of your backswing, your shoulders should be 90* to the target line.

Reverse Pivot

I have always had a reverse pivot since I have been golfing. I loose distance and I am always falling off the ball after the swing. I have taken lessons many times. I would like to know if there are any exercises I can practice that will force me to swing properly to correct the reverse pivot
