Golf Instruction Struggles With Weight Shift Troubles, Here is A Cure!

And the other is the shift onto the left side on the downswing. To me, that sounds pretty darn simple.

Personally, I think it has to do with ” hit mentality” where hitting the ball is the objective without consideration to other aspects of the technique that could contribute to better results.
Like a weight shift.
Some people do get a weight shift but it’s in the wrong sequence. It’s called a reverse weight shift. It is when the weight moves to the front foot on the moveaway and then to the rear foot on the downswing. An ugly looking thing that gives really nasty results.

I will admit, although grudgedly, that some people manage to hit it fairly well with either move. Somehow they get the clubface square at impact and fall away fast enough so that minimum damage is done to the balls flight. Still, that doesn’t make it right for everyone.

If you don’t get some sort of weight shift doing this, then perhaps bowling is a good sport too.

Here’s another drill. You won’t need club. Jimmy Ballard had this in one of his books.
Stand facing the side of a golf cart. The seat should be opposite your left shoulder. And you are facing the side of the seat and cart.

This is how you should feel when hitting the ball.
You probably got a good weight shift if you truly tried to move the cart. If not, well , sorry.
