GOOD “STACK”
at the top of your
backswing results
from rotating
correctly. As you turn back, it’s
important to keep your pelvis on
a forward tilt and let your body
coil over your trail leg without
feeling the need to slide your hips
up or to the side. Try this: Place
your golf bag just outside your
rear foot. With your hands folded
across your chest, rotate as in a
mock backswing. Your goal?
Maintain the space between your
rear hip and the bag as you load
up over your back leg. No need
to shift or slid your pelvis. Also
check that your right shoulder
is behind your left, indicating a
solid turn over your right side.
Now you’ve created torque—
power you can use at impact.A
When you tuck your pel-
vis too far under your
hips at address, you
force your hips to rise
up and slide over during
the backswing, causing
a myriad of problems,
including the dreaded
reverse spine position.A golf bag can help
you rotate, not
slide, your way to a
better top position
and ramp up your
swing power.Learn the difference between swaying
and stacking to increase your consistency
and power with every club in the bag
