Hi all,

I have started to play golf late 2013 and have been taking lessons since then. 

It has been a roller coaster ride to say the least.  My issue now for the past few months has been my weight moving forward towards the ball. My hips tend to move in and I will then either hit it fat or shank the ball.

i have tried all kinds of mental thoughts, even keeping up my toes. I have a video of myself with toes up and still the butt move towards the ball. 

This issue started to crop up when I started to work on my swing plane to inside out vs a outside in. 

Any ideas on how to keep it back? I wonder if it's due to the way I turn my hips?

Hi @AaronKok welcome to TST. I moved this to Member swings so that you can have your own thread to get help. This looks like you took the video on an iPhone which is good, but you need to edit it down to one swing. Hard to watch slow motion of you picking the ball to hit it again. 

You also really need a face on video. I have some ideas and maybe smarter guys than me can give you some thoughts like @mvmac or @iacas from only the down the line view but I'd rather have a face on before passing judgement.

Welcome to the site. Be sure to look around because there is tons of valuable knowledge around here.

@mchepp Thanks for your help.

Didn't realize this was the section for videos. 

trying to get some help for reason why my hips kept moving forward even with feeling of 80% of weight on heel and toes up

Thanks

From a golf jargon standpoint you shouldn't say forward. Forward usually means that they are going towards the target. So from a face on view if your hips are going forward they are going towards the target. I think you mean to say "towards the ball". This is a reaction your body makes to other things that are happening in the swing. 

What is occurring looks like early extension aka EE or you can find it loving called "goat humping". A little of it is okay. But many of us struggle with it. I do, (the blue line is my address position)

Thing is though, I don't think this is the direct cause of your problems. I have more than you and I very rarely shank, and rarely hit it fat. You probably have other pieces that you can improve before moving to the movement of the hips. My guess is that once we see the face on view, there are few things we can fix in your backswing or downswing that can help you improve how you are striking the ball.

You answered your own question right there. If you set up with the weight on the heels you will naturally shift toward the toes on the downswing. Start with the weight on the balls of your feet and it should stay there throughout the entire swing.

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
