Pelvis sway in the backswing: what the reported data describes
A sourced explanation of re-centring, without invented handicap averages.
Editorial correction — 5 October 2026: factual errors and unsupported claims in the earlier version have been corrected. The original publication date is retained.
GOLF’s report discusses pelvis movement near the top of the backswing. It describes better players beginning their movement back towards the target before reaching the top, a pattern often called re-centring.
This observation is not a universal numerical target or a diagnosis of an individual swing. A coach can interpret motion data alongside ball flight and other measurements.
The earlier version gave unsupported handicap averages and expert quotations. Those figures and quotations have been removed; the original report is linked below.
