She also pointed out how golfers tend to move sideways on their swings, for which she had a ready-made, simple solution to fix the issue.

In her video, Sorenstam proceeded to lay a spare golf club at the heels of her right leg. “That helps you brace the knee, brace your hip,” she said on the position. The former golfer then hit a lovely shot with the position to demonstrate the fix.
