I seem to have a problem where I always seem to end up with all my weight on my back foot after my shot. When I mentally think about transferring the weight, I feel like I am almost throwing my swing into the ball, and it makes for a poor swing. But if I end up with my weight on the back foot, its normally a good shot. Any tips/drills out there to help me with this I should try?

My view, esp. for the learning process, is to not even think of weight transfer but to focus on the fundamentals which will cause the weight to shift properly. If you are finishing on your trailing foot, likely you are reverse pivoting, which is leaning toward the target at the top, probably caused by straightening the trailing leg. You can check this yourself by noting the ball position relative to your head at the top. You should be seeing the back of the ball. More specificly, your head should be over the inside of the trailing leg thigh at the top. Your head should also remain the same distance from the ground.

Pay attention to your trailing leg and make sure it starts flexed, remains flexed, and have it kicked in toward the target a bit so the weight is on the inside of the trailing foot at the top.

If you pay attention to these few basics, it is near impossible to NOT shift properly to the lead leg coming down.
