When I started golf the one piece takeaway was all we were taught to do. Usually attempting the one piece backswing resulted in lots of tension in my arms and upper body. The same is true in modern golf for most players.

Great swings often look like they still have a one piece takeaway, but there isn’t the tension that many of us used to experience.

This is because the upper body is actually beginning the backswing. The arms and hands can remain quite light.

Pressure Shift in the Golf Swing

Pressure Shift in the Golf Swing

Proper pressure on the feet during the golf swing can be a big factor in consistent quality contact.

Hey golfers, PGA Teaching Professional Todd Kolb here with another segment of Teaching with Technology; and today again I’ve got my Swing Catalyst system, and the topic for today is understanding how I can actually—what you might feel is—shift in your weight, or what in golf terms we call “pressure shift”; because there’s a little bit of confusion out there for the average viewer and the average golfer.

So I’ve got two examples today here. I’ve got this first example over here on the right where I’ve turned and literally moved my upper body off the golf ball, or—what you might say—behind the golf ball. I’ve literally tried to shift my weight, shift my head, shift my body to the right side; and at the top of the swing, what you’ll notice is I’ve attained 87 percent pressure on my right foot. Now that’s a good thing, there’s nothing wrong with that; I should have more pressure—or what you might feel as more weight—on your right foot. But when I move my head off the golf ball a lot, I also move the bottom of my golf swing.

On the left, what I want you to see here is a little bit of a different style. In this particular example, I’ve kept my head in a much more centered position. Has it moved some? Yes, but not nearly as much as the first example; because even at that—even with the centered turn—I’m able to achieve 76 percent pressure on my right foot; once again, what you might feel as weight shift, or weight on the right foot. So even though I’ve had a centered turn, I have 76 percent pressure on my right side. So my body is rotated around and behind the golf ball, so I have something to move into the golf ball, and hit it with some force.

So the takeaway from today is this—you can get pressure on your right foot, you can get weight shift on your right side without moving your upper body all the way off the golf ball. Personally, I think a center turn is better, and I think that you’ll find that your contact improves if you do that, and you’ll certainly be hitting longer and straighter shots.

How to Develop Effortless Power in your Golf Swing

How to Develop Effortless Power in your Golf Swing

Use these instructions and golf tips in order to promote effortless power in your golf swing.

Golfers that suffer from powerless effort – the opposite of effortless power – oftentimes swing a golf club using only their arms. They don’t involve their body in their golf swing, working very hard for very little result in the form of shot distances.

Follow this drill and tips in order to make sure to involve your whole body.

Position yourself as you would for a golf setup but place your golf club across your arms, in front of your chest, with the end of the club pointing towards the target.

Turn your upper body away from the target as you would for a proper backswing and notice how the grip end of the club moves back towards the golf ball in front of you. You may notice how your back is stretching as you rotate your upper body back and this may feel very different than usual, especially if you are used to swinging using only your arms.

Now turn through the other way in what would be your downswing and make sure that the other end of the club – the one with the clubhead – now points at the ball in what would be your impact position.

Notice that since you are holding the golf club with your hands pressed against your chest, your arms are absolutely not involved in this golf swing drill.

Repeat this drill at will and when ready you can start focusing on your upper body rotation while holding the club normally in your hands. Proceed with performing normal practice swings but make sure to involve your whole body – hips, shoulders, arms and hands.
