Staying Centered over the Ball
This is one of the most integral elements of the golf swing – the upper body must stay centered over the ball. By doing so, you will increase your ability to get that weight on the front foot at impact and deliver a downward, compressing blow to the back of the ball.
The Wall/Pivot Drill
Here is an excellent drill that I created that not only gets the golfer to stay centered, but also encourages the shoulders to pivot correctly. Just like the drills from yesterday, it can and most likely will, be done indoors.

As you can tell I have a few new toys – my Youtube channel and my son Justin’s new Flip video. I will be posting multiple new drills over the upcoming weeks, so please subscribe to my Youtube channel HERE. Go ahead, make my day!
Improve your golf by learning to turn the shoulders in plane with a reverse pivot
4moles,
There is a vast difference between staying centered and a reverse pivot. If you execute the motion in your shoulders that this exercise promotes, then you will be pivoting just like Nicklaus, Snead, Nelson, Price, Hogan and Faldo and they seemed to do okay with it.
In every one of the above mentioned players (when hitting an iron) the left shoulder moves down as much as it moves across. I believe that this move is one of the primary fundamentals to great ball striking – what do you believe?
