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.
