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.

    • Day 375 - Got a good session in, mostly partial swings focused on the finish, but worked up to full swings. Finished with some lag putting.
    • Day 198: went to a simulator for an hour. Played blackjack National and shot 77. Then worked on backswing stuff for a bit, and it went pretty well. 
    • Day 123 - 2025-01-31 Busy day building a website, some images, and doing Evolvr. So… some mirror stuff while waiting on some things a few times throughout the day.
    • Day 14: 1/31/25 Plenty of putting practice today - early morning, at lunch and this evening.
    • Day 11 (31 Jan 25) - Played in the Friday men’s group today.  Had some really good swings with the  Feruga shafted driver, pretty solid with the putter (not the AI One Milled but the broomstick style NMG Ab) and okay wedge game.  Was a day of up and down pars  (5 of the 6 front side pars were such).  Finished with a 40 on the front.  Then the wheels got wobbly on the back - made a mess on a number of holes closing with a 49 by trading those 5 up and down pars for 5 doubles on the back….while it was a struggle to not get frustrated, it was just a reminder that the game can spin on a single shot.
