You probably do not consider a necktie to be standard golf gear, but it happens to be an excellent training aid if you struggle with reverse pivot and the transition in the golf swing, or if you keep getting into bad positions at the top.
The necktie is a remarkably handy diagnostic tool that can reveal a great deal about your position at the top of the swing. If you set up a video camera and film yourself hitting a few balls while wearing a necktie, you can get a very clear picture of what is happening in your golf swing.
Let us start by examining what you do not want to do in the golf swing. You do not want everything rotating together on the way back.

When you lose the separation between the rotation of your shoulders, upper torso, rib cage, and hips, and just start moving them all back as a single unit, it becomes extremely difficult to sequence a dynamic and powerful golf downswing.
Everything must move in the correct sequence during the golf transition. The hips have to move first.
