Golf Downswing Weight Transfer Drill

December 14, 2020

Golf Downswing Weight Transfer Drill

Golf drill on how to promote good weight transfer during the downswing by pushing on your right toes and lifting the heel of your right foot before impact.

Transferring your weight from your right foot to your left is a key element of the downswing. Failure to correctly involve your hips will result in shots that aren’t as powerful as they could be. This drill has you practicing pushing on your right foot during the downswing in order to help push your weight forward towards your left foot.

At the top of the swing, practice pushing on your right toes as you begin your transition from backswing to downswing.

This action will force your right heel to lift from the ground, which would occur naturally in a normal swing.

Use this Golf Downswing Weight Transfer Drill if you tend to begin your downswing using your arms (instead of your hips) or if you feel your weight transfer is not as pronounced as it could be.
