Excellent Weight Forward Drill

[Dave325]

Just wanted to share something that really has helped me with getting the weight forward and achieving a good lag position at impact. This is something I have really struggled with until I watched Dave W's video called, Roll Those Ankles. I noticed that it takes a lot of time slowing down the swing and taking short punch shots to feel the difference in impact. But it really made a difference with a solid contact. I loved this so much that I went out and bought Pure Strike video series. I am working now with the 7i swing, but looking forward to incorporate this into my other clubs.

 

Regards, 

Dave

Thanks for posting. Could you film the drill and share that with the members?

I think he's referring to Dave's key #2 drill here and here.  It might also be in one of the threads here in the forum but I can't find it in a search at the moment.

We've all seen Dave Ws videos. Seeing members doing the drill helps as well.

Ok... Just so we are clear... here is the video that I am referring to....

Now, I am no where close to even a decent golfer, but I am learning and trying to get better. So, I took this video and worked it into my setup routine. Here is what I do....

1. Do three rotations trying to get a good shoulder turn and keeping a steady head.

2. Then, add the a forward set and address to the ball based on Dave's video.

3. On the third or fourth time on #2 (when the address is good).... complete the swing through the ball.

Here is an attachment of the video. Please keep in mind that this is far from perfect and I definitely invite any and all constructive criticism. I just started on this routine and I do it a couple times in the video. Best wishes to all.
