How to Prevent a Reverse Pivot & Improve Weight Transfer
by Gregor Jamieson, Director of Golf, Lake Nona Golf & Country Club

There is no better cure for the reverse pivot than doing this drill. It makes it impossible to leave your weight on the right side. By improving your weight transfer, you will make a more assertive down-swing and obtain greater power and accuracy.

Tee up a ball to increase your chance of making solid contact. Using a mid-iron, assume your address position and make your normal backswing. Just after impact on the downswing, step down the fairway with your right foot. A number of famous professionals, including Gary Player and Chi Chi Rodriguez employ this move as part of their regular swing. It not only prevents a reverse pivot, but it also helps to release your body as well as your hands and arms fully.
