Why is SK #2 weight forward important or necessary? I want to know the why so I can do the how.

Moving the weight forward on the downswing moves the bottom of the swing arc forward.

Why don't we just setup to were the bottom of the swing arc is were we want it to be from the beginning?

Why don't we just setup to were the bottom of the swing arc is were we want it to be from the beginning?

For two reasons:

  1. Gonna be tough to set 85-95% of your weight/pressure forward at A1.
  2. The weight/pressure/force is still going to shift back during the backswing, and there's still power and speed to be gained in shifting it forward during the downswing.

I'm no expert but but too much weight on my front foot at address causes my back foot to go completely rogue on my down swing.

We don't ask for too much weight there. Just 55-65%. Hips are slightly forward.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.

      OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
