If you are practicing outside, stand with the sun behind your back and watch your shadow. That will show you if you are swaying

I've read some daft tips Bob but how stoopid is this one! The OP lives in the West Midlands - when did they ever get sunshine?

I did check to make sure he wasn't in Scotland

If he goes to the East Midlands on his holidays, he'll get some sun

Is it swaying - away from target - or moving/lifting your torso/shoulders/head (directly) away from the ball - in line with shaft of club?

The 'lean back' (away from ball) can be helped by 'standing tall' at address (but not so tall that you can't hit the ball) and thinking 'pull-lift' the right shoulder as opposed to 'push-drop' the left one (right-handed golfer). Subconscious doesn't auto-react so much to a 'lift' action as it does to a 'drop' one.

Simply put the weight you have in your right foot (assuming right handed) on the inside of the foot and do not move it though the swing until your foot naturally comes up in the follow through. Some suggest putting a couple of golf balls down under the right foot to help with this.

Once you have the feel of this concentrate on making a full turn around your spine, which shouldnt be moving laterally now.

Can remember the golf ball drill a few month back... Worked wonders on chipping
