Yesterday and Today I hit 85 on a par 70 course and i felt great, but sometimes i sliced my irons and i felt like i was falling back when i swung even though i finished on my front foot. Is this just a weight transfer issue? What are some drills to make me move forward and keep my front shoulder from feeling like it leans back.

Take some swings and see if you can pick your left foot up off the ground at the finish it may take awhile to get your balance start with 3/4 swings, or once you make the weight transition try to feel like you have 60% ofyour weight on your right foot and 40% on the ball and big toe of your left foot dont immediatly spin out and go right up on the point of your left toe this should get you balanced out so your not falling back and make you feel more centered through the ball.

Are your hands infront of the ball at impact? Your front shoulder should feel like it's beeing pulled back, that's the nature of rotation. If you actually feel like you're leaning backwards at the finish then you're not actually shifting weight at all. For weight shift, make sure your back knee doesn't turn out during the back swing. Your front knee is ok a bit but really prop up against that back foot like you're proped up against a pitcher's rubber stop and stay infront of it. If you turn that knee or flex it, it gets your center of gravity a little too far to the back and makes it extremely difficult to shift all your weight forward at the same time.

So, in a nutshell, try stiffening up that back leg on the backswing and make sure your hands are past the ball on impact. Drag the club into it instead of flipping it at the ball.
