Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)

Encourages aggressive rotation and pressure transfer to the lead side.

How to Perform the Drill

The coach gives no set rep count. Our general guideline: 3 sets of 10 slow rehearsal reps, then half swings with a ball, adding speed only once the steps feel natural.

Lift the trail heel early in the downswing.
Bank the foot inward.
This ensures you are not hanging back on the trail side.

How to Improve Weight Shift in the Golf Swing

Improve weight shift by loading pressure into your trail foot early in the backswing, then shifting it to your lead side to start the downswing: before the arms or club move. Most golfers do this backwards: they reverse pivot going back, then hang on the trail foot at impact. Fix the sequence with step and pressure drills, not a lateral slide.
