Golf Tips for Proper Weight Shift:

Weight shift is crucial in the golf swing. It is crucial for power and timing, and it is the most problematic part of many recreational player's games. An improper weight shift can dramatically reduce your power and is the cause of the dreaded reverse pivot.

Fortunately it is also one of the easiest things to learn to do properly. In order to get a feel for proper weight shift you have to completely forget about what you are doing with your upper body for a while. To start, I suggest just holding your golf club in the setup position without the club touching the ground.

 

Then simply rock your body side to side by putting your weight from one foot to the other, not unlike dancing. While doing this, just relax your hands, wrists, arms and shoulders and let them move with your movement. The club should start swinging in front of you as you step from foot to foot.

Now just increase the movement until the swing starts get bigger. You will be much like a pendulum, and if you are doing it right, you will be making about a three quarter swing. Continue this movement for about thirty swings with the same easy tempo, then start putting balls in place and hit them with the same motion. As you get the feel for this motion, you can begin to increase the length of your swing while maintaining the weight shift and rhythm.

The Simple Golf Swing will give you a repeatable and Simple Golf Swing that provides power, accuracy and consistency.
