Hula Hula
Birdie,

A reverse pivot is not so much a spine angle issue, but a malfunctioning hip turn. The weight shift to the rear leg is usually accomplished by the turning of the hips. A faulty hip turn leaves weight, or places or the load on the forward leg and the weight is "reverse" shifted to the back leg on the downstroke.

In most backtrokes the lower spine is closer to the target than the upper spine. But the head can still remain centered between the feet at the top the stroke. The reason it appears to be closer is because the lower spine is already slightly tilted towards the target at address. In a full stroke, the hips must "hula hula", but the head can and should stay centered to avoid the other big pivot malfunction.

Swaying.
