Since taking up golf I’ve always tended to sway during my takeaway/backswing.
Recently I’ve started working on this at the range to get more movements in the hips and try and make my movements more stable. When I do it right and it all comes together the amount of extra distance I get is quite surprising.

Just wondering does anyone have any decent exercises or drills they would recommend that would help me in trying to make this movement of the hips more natural and permanent?

Thanks in advance for any assistance

One move to prevent a sway as favoured by Ben Hogan is at address flare your lead foot (Left foot if you are right handed) out towards the target - so the heel stays in place and the toes are positioned more towards the target. This makes it near impossible to sway off the ball and helps with turning through the shot.
Another thought is to move the trail buttock (right for a right hander) move towards the target rather than back in the back swing.
Both are worth a try. I hope they help.
