Why this drill works

Corrects the misconception of sliding weight. Pressure shift is subtle and early, enabling rotary power.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Think of 'Pressure Shift' not 'Weight Shift'.

  2. 2

    Pressure moves to the inside of the trail foot, not the outside.

  3. 3

    Pressure moves early (before the top of the backswing).

  4. 4

    Step early to swing fast.
