LEARN WEIGHT SHIFT IN THE DOWNSWING WITH THIS TRICK

In this tip I show you a simple trick to help your weight shift in the downswing and into the follow through. This is for both irons and woods.

The golf weight shift is vital to hitting long and straight shots yet few golfers I see do it right. Most golfers are flat footed at impact. Some move sideways and some spin out on this back foot.

This is a precise move but this trick shows you exactly how to do the weight shift so you are in perfect position through impact and into your full follow through. I would suggest working on this in practice swings first so you learn how to do it. Once you do then try it with irons first. Get it with irons and slowly graduate up to the longer clubs.

This is going to take a little understanding, new feelings and a bit of practice but once you master the weight shift you will hit the ball longer and straighter than ever before.

Shaft Flex What’s Right For Your Golf Swing!

The flex in the shaft can have a significant effect with your ball striking, we all know this, and flexing the shaft can also have an effect on what type of swing you have.

There’s more to consider than, what is the right flex for your swing profile? You should also take into consideration, what is the right flex for your acceleration profile.

If you have an early release or cast the club, even if you have a faster swing speed, you can most likely get away with a softer flex. If you create and hold significant lag, even with a slower swing speed, you can most likely fit yourself with a stiffer flex.

Taking these points into consideration your shaft flex will be critical in helping maximize your consistency.

How To Feel Your Club Shallow In Transition

A study from well known golf biomechanist, Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, showed that 39 out of 40 touring professionals had some amount of club shallowing in transition. As we know many amateurs are too steep at this point, it is safe to assume that this is a differentiator between low and elite level players.

To get a better feel for this pattern, players should get to the top of their swing, drop the club, and then catch it, while pulling in the direction of the target and rotating to a full finish. You will probably want to do this with a split-grip and avoid hitting any balls at first, but you should get a good sense for how the shallowing of the club relates to the movement of the body.

Once you have completed a few repetitions of this, you can then move to the next progression, which involves a normal grip and a simple decrease in grip pressure as you again feel the club falling or shallowing in transition. From here, you can go ahead and hit some full shots, while being aware of any tendencies that may overly steepen the club. Overall, this is a great drill that has helped a number of my students quickly pick up on the unique feel of what it takes to properly shallow in transition.
