A lot of golfers will get their weight forward in a "faked" way - they'll be 50/50 at impact but then their arms will "pull" them through to a finish position that has their weight on their front foot. I call it the "standing I" position because they are often standing in a very "I"-like shape at the end, rather than one seen here by Tiger Woods:

Awesome!  I think I am highly guilty of the faked weight forward.

Also, at first I thought the drill had something to do with skiing because the beach almost looks like snow at first.

really great stuff here, guys.

I'm looking forward to taking some of these drills to the range, especially the toes up, ankle roll, and limbo/bat signal drills.

Seems like a really excellent way to categorize and focus on what's important.

Yeah I sent Hacker a PM.  I go up to Long Beach every couple months or so to teach at El Dorado.  Dana is great, he's not a 5SK guy but likes the Keys system and agrees with what we have to say.

Paging @cipher and a few others…

That is so awesome, totally validates what I've been feeling and trying to foster.

I'm pretty good at getting the weight forward but my hips are very square at impact. I've been really working at feeling like A4 to A6 is arms coming down while hips push laterally forward but as soon as I get to A6 I try to feel like my body is going 2 directions at once, hips and torso are turning hard left while my arms are swinging as far out to the right as I can. I find if I don't add the feeling of swinging as far too the right as humanly possible I go OTT. No matter how extreme I try to feel this it still isn't enough, and I've tried to feel like I'm almost swinging perpindicular to the target line LOL. Add my batman sign to the sky and I get some really great ball flights. It's nice to know I'm on the right path.

I was getting frustrated and started trying other feels but I think I'll go back to really working hard on this because when I get it right it has a big impact on my priority pieces. Damn I love this game, so effing hard but so rewarding when something clicks.

Love it! It is hard to imagine that it took me so long to understand this. It is such a huge piece and a source of so much frustration for me in the past. There are probably a ton of golfers out there that need to watch this video, high and low handicap players alike. Great stuff as always.

Like Erik said, prioritize.  25* is better than 0* :-) You might have another piece(s) that is more important to improve.

More often in the future?

      Garmin R50 Launch Monitor

      By iacas ·

      You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.

      Day 58 - 2024-11-27 Some quick 90-yard shots on a particular hole… before a lesson and testing out multiple Foresight Launch Monitors on GSPro.

      Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
