Blair O'Neal
Struggle with swaying off the ball right after takeaway? Blair O’Neal has two drills that can help. Flare the trail foot or imagine swinging in a phone booth to stop the sway.

Daily Video Tips
Blair, your wrists at the top of the backswing are bent. That's not Tiger-like. Which causes your club shaft to go past horizontal.
Don't move your wrists in any direction or be sloppy. That includes bowing and cupping.
You should be explaining loading up the back leg which never has weight go off the instep and then you push off the back foot rolling from the heel across the instep (as per Ben Hogan).
Hi Richard, thank you for watching. My wrist hinge is actually what I feel
'starts' my swing (puts my swing in motion). It works great for me but that is why everyone has to find what works best for them and their bodies! Find what works for you and stick with that!
Great tip
Thank you!
what do you mean "pop your foot back?
Hi Carol! It just means to drag your foot back. So set up square and then drag your lag foot straight back a few inches. Hope this helps :) It helps you to rotate your hips well on the backswing.
Move it back slightly
Thank You for this tip, I'm a bit older now and I've lost some distance. This tip might help me train to improve my club head speed.
Hi Terence, absolutely this can help!!!
Good idea of using a telephone booth as part of your thought process.
Thank you Douglas! It's gotta be a good one!!! The last time I played golf with Gary Player... he told me that is what he works on. If its good enough for Mr. Player, its good enough for me! :)
Your videos might help. But they keep saying reload video. Not playin. What @m I missing
This is great advice. With two artificial hips I need just a little help. Thanks Blair
Thank you for watching! Sending you some good golfing vibes!
