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 !!!!

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.

    • updated swing notes Setup - Same stuff. Good posture, weight in balls of feet, engage lower body more.  Backswing - Same stuff, hinge fully by P2 by using wrists. LBift left arm straight up to top of backswing. Control swing length, though it is way better. *Always a reminder 😊  Downswing - More of starting the downswing with lower body rotation. Getting the right hip rotating out towards the ball and around me, and the left hip goes back away from the ball and back around me. Straighten left leg as soon as possible. Still a bit of a struggle to do this.  Still the hand path and club going down behind me, feels like the right arm stays really wide and gets wider.  Though, I don't think I have poor hip flexor mobility. I stretch and move the crap out of them almost on a daily basis. It is part of my daily mobility routine for the past year.  This position is kind of wonky looking 🤣.  When I took my swing to that position and feel like I really sink my weight to the outside part of my left heel while extending the left hip more. I felt a big resistance from this area in the leg (sorry that is the right leg, blame Google). I was like, WTF! 🤣 Yea, more stretching may be needed. I wonder if I am avoiding that movement.
