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.

      I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.

      I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours

      Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.

      This is my opinion as well. I would love to see the LPGA take the lead on this.    This.

      I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
