Weight onto front foot at impact / correct hip slide

[loughranb]

I am hoping that someone can explain the impact that a swing thought is having on my swing (very positive impact!).

Firstly, I am very much a feel player and try to replicate a feel that works in each swing. My bad shots come from not shifting my weight in the downswing. It has become very OTT after an absence of 5+ years from competitive golf. I read a thread in another forum after Noel Thomas and his 'Master Key'. This is subconsciously controlling the lower body movement by moving the lead shoulder up in the transition. I had mild success with this, however my break through came when I concentrated on sliding the both shoulders directly down the target line at the beginning of the downswing.

Ball flight is lower, picked up a club and a half in iron distance and was consistently hitting my driver straight at about 280. Yesterday shot 73 with 35 putts so it is working. Am going to keep experimenting with the feeling.

Any comments on the impact this is having, or similar swig thoughts, would be interesting to read

Would be more interesting to see you demonstrate this technique on video so we can comment.

Same goes for me. Sounds like your putting could be a little better to get you even lower scores, and that is something you can easily practice.

Feel ain't real.

Get a good high-speed video from good camera angles, and possibly some Flightscope/Trackman data.

Otherwise this is just a thread about something that works for you right now but which will stop working quite as well in a week or so.
