Swing School: pick your fault, get a four-week plan
These are the same 12 faults RangeBuddy checks in your swing video. Choose the one that sounds like your miss and you get a week-by-week schedule plus the range drills that go with it — ready to play with voice cues in your headphones. 🏌️
Lateral hip sway
On video
The hips slide away from the target in the backswing instead of turning.
Ball flight
Thin and heavy strikes mixed together, plus a push to the right.
Usual cause
Turning is replaced by sliding, usually from a passive trail hip and soft trail leg.
Four-week schedule
Week 1
Feel the trail hip load without sliding
Goal: 10 rehearsals with no sway, half swings only
Week 2
Half swings with a physical barrier
Goal: 8 of 10 balls struck with the barrier untouched
Week 3
Full swings, wedge to 7 iron
Goal: Contact centred on 7 of 10 shots
Week 4
Transfer: random clubs, full routine
Goal: Same feel holds with driver in play
Range drills
1. Bag barrier
Place your golf bag just outside your trail hip. Make 10 slow backswings without touching it.
Key thought: Turn into the hip, never away from the target.
2. Half swings, 9 iron
10 half swings with the barrier in place. Stop at hip height in the backswing.
3. Feet-together turns
Feet together, 8 three-quarter swings. Sway becomes impossible, rotation becomes obvious.
4. Full swings with pressure
10 full shots, alternating targets. Call your strike before you look up.
