Toe down drill to stop swaying in the short game

A common short-game fault is swaying side to side, which produces thin and heavy shots. Set up as normal with a fairly narrow stance, then hit your trail foot forward and drop it behind you so you go up onto your trail toe. From that position you have no choice but to load the weight onto your lead side.
