DO NOT Shift Your Weight In The GOLF SWING, DO This INSTEAD

Shifting your weight in the golf swing can cause fat shots, think shots, shanks and general inconsistent golf shots, but for years golfers have been told to do this.

In this video you will learn the correct way to move your body and why weight shift could be the move that is holding you back from playing your best golf.

Follow the steps in this video and you will begin to move just like the best players in the world and you will find you are able to repeat this over and over again

Best description of how pressure changes for both the irons and driver I’ve ever seen. Even most golf coaches use the term weight shift. I love the way he teaches - it’s the same way I think of the golf swing so it’s very relevant to me.

[kevingallagher]

Calling it a pressure shift instead of a weight shift makes everything so much clearer now! 🤯

[tommyrm]

Very helpful. I literally worked this out on the range last night after 20 years of golf. For so long my weight would drift backwards during the backswing but now I’m keeping my chest more over the ball with irons and making much better contact.

[mistareee]

What an absolutely brilliant explanation of pressure shift. I had it wrong all along. This makes so much more sense. Loved the short back and through example to feel it properly

[gulfaamify]

This literally is the highest value golf channel out there by far. Recommend it 100/100.

[mikekamper]

I watch several top coaches on YouTube and your way is always the best for a athlete . Nice job Kevin!

[davebaker]

Such a great video Chris. The only thing is add is where in the feet you feel the pressure. In the backswing feel the pressure in the trail heel, then when you drift right (just before the backswing ends) you should feel pressure in the left toes and then it moves to the left heel as you push with left leg. I'm a good club, club and a half longer with this. And my ball speed with driver is also up. The other day i hit a drive 30 yards longer than my average. Soon it's going to be the norm. Great stuff as always Chris. 👊

[christophercraig-cydk]

The best explanation and illustration I have ever seen of the very subtle, yet hugely important shift of pressure (or, shift of momentum) at the transition to the downswing. Excellent video.

[VancouverIslandK]

Thank you for this. Out of all the golf videos I’ve watched, this one had the biggest impact on the way I approach my swing mechanics. Thank you. Couldn’t figure out why I was hitting off my back foot before.

[jdwond]

I've been starting to practice this very thing this year. I'm incorporating both the driver and iron swings you are advocating with good results. I wish I knew this 20 years ago. Thanks for reinforcing that I'm on the right track .

[joethompson]

4:15-5:00 super helpful quick moving club helps you feel pressure shift

[ProfessorMikecarGuy]

Excellent job describing pressure shift. I see so many people getting this wrong. Brilliant explanation, keep the lessons coming!

[cmarcelo]

Still one of the best vids out there for proper movement in the golf swing. Great job!!!

[FlyWithMe_]

This is so important. When I focus on pressure shift (typically with a faster, more dynamic backswing), I feel like I “coil”, which makes the transition and downswing much more fluid. When shifting weight, I actively have to shift weight back to the left side. This may work on the range, but ends in bad shots on the course when a bit of tension sets in. I think this may correlate to why Tour Tempo (3:1 backswing to downswing ratio) works for many high hcp (including myself) as it almost forces you to pressure shift as you won’t have time to weight shift if you come from a 4:1 ratio.

[geraldgarcia]

Absolutely the best instructor on You-Tube!
Best explanation of the fundamentals of a sound swing and easy to follow drills.
Sure wish I could take a few lessons from this teacher!

[MrTffee]

Brilliant video . One the best things i did was forgetting about weight .
I started feel it left Adductor muscles more . Not been on weight, but I think the weight would still be on the right .
But definitely feel the torque on inside left

[b-rytorres]

I’ve always tried to get weight from right foot to left foot(weight shift) never knew that in irons and wedges and woods you want to keep weight even throughout the swing, never even considered it. Cheers Chris!

[angeloc]

This is excellent! I hit my driver very well. Straight, long, and with a good ball flight. I cannot hit my irons at all (because I move too much). I’m going to try your pressure drill and will thank you in advance for the results.

[errolwatts]

Very good explanation 😮 Maybe all teachers need to be clear on this one thing. Only thing to follow up on is the direction the pressure flows using the arms.

[kickingworld]

Was maxing out at 350 yard drives and now I hit my first 370. Thank you.
