I can make a rhythmic reverse pivot. A repeatable bad swing is still bad.

   You could also make a reverse pivot...without rhythm  !!!   or a bad putt...without rhythm...or a bad pitch shot....without rhythm...etc...etc...even a persons heart beat has natural rhythm....if that consistency is interrupted than that must be corrected first or the patient will die....no matter how good the doctor might be !!!!

The person said "A weight shift is not something one has to do consciously." I disagree.

You responded to @iacas with 'yes it is' then this? I don't get your argument here.

Sorry, my bad, and I understand your confusion. What I was meaning to do was agree with @iacas , and wrote about the Haney video as an illustration of how some need to consciously think about getting their weight to shift. I do not agree with @Piz in that the weight shift is a natural or instinctive thing. If it was, everybody would do it! My buddy doesn't, except on his practice swings. I don't do it all the time either.

Go ahead and live in your happy-clappy rhythmic world, but there is more to a golf swing than rhythm.

As someone who struggles with "weight shift" I also disagree. And, I'm also confused about whether it's really a "weight shift" or a "pressure shift" or one after the other or both.

There are some really good drills in this thread for Key 2, Weight Forward at Impact. I did them several years ago to nail it down and I don’t have any issues anymore.

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
