There is nothing more annoying than walking up the fairway following a great tee shot, to find your golf ball has rolled into a divot that hasn’t been replaced. Knowing how to tackle this situation effectively will allow you to still hit a great golf shot into the green from this bad lie and you won’t ruin your scorecard!

A reverse pivot, or reverse spine angle, at the top of your golf back swing will cause you many issues as you swing down towards impact and try to correct it. You will experience inconsistent ball strikes, hitting the ground before the ball or topping the ball, you will find it very difficult to consistently control the direction of your shots and also you will not be at full power through impact resulting in shorter golf shot distance. This video explains what a reverse spine angle is, how this is affected by your pelvis movement and then how to get rid of it with a simple drill that you can work on at home, or whilst training your swing movement at the range.
