Hi there.... I have always had issues with my weight shifting forward and into my toes (primarily left foot (right handed)) at the top of my swing and into the downswing.  This causes me to get closer to the ball at impact than when at address causing heeled shots and shanks.  It has gotten significantly worse in the last month and I am shanking pretty much every other shot.  Are there any drills I can do to help me feel where the weight should be?

Maybe this . . .

 

I watched your swing a few times - I didn't slow it down and it is fast on the video . .but I didn't really see you on your toes . .but maybe in the bottom one you look like you might be on the *outside* of your right foot vs the inside at the top of the backswing.

 

Hope it helps - if not I'm sure more educated opinions are coming.  Nice swing, btw - to my untrained eye it looks like a lot of good things going on there.

If the weight is shifting toward the toes you probably set up with too much weight back on the heels.

Some good high-speed (slow-mo) video would be helpful.

    • Tristan, did you end up getting the new Edel wedges?  I'm very about due for new wedges.  I was trying other configurations a few years ago and somehow my 54 and 58 are both hand-me-downs that I never got around to getting as new and fitted, and my last new-as-in-new wedges were Ping Glides a long time ago.  I was thinking of Edel wedges earlier today, although their website seems to list only two fitters.   Did you end up getting them, and if so, what do you think of them?
    • @colin007, in terms of realistic sci-fi, its the best ever. They actually had an astrophysicist consult on the movie to be as accurate as possible with what we know about the universe.  For like dystopian, Blade Runner is probably king. Action/suspense is probably Alien/Aliens. Though Starship Troopers is fantastic. The Matrix is amazing.  
    • Day 4 (August 14).  Full swing in my indoor practice room;  6-iron, off a mat, into a net.  Focus was on what I believe was my priority piece at last lesson (which, admittedly, was almost three years ago, due to absence).  I hit about a dozen balls this morning before going into the office.  (Also, errata to yesterday:  9 of the 12 coins were picked up on the second or third go around -- you can't pick up one on the first go around for that drill)
    • Watched The Gentlemen, took a little bit to get into it, but very good Guy Ritchie movie.  Collin Farrell and Hugh Grant were great. Give it a birdie.
    • Played in the Rhode Island CC Senior Member guest, my partner and I won the tournament. 2-day Stableford format, we ended with 104 points, won by 7. Points include 2 holes on each 9, where both players score count, can make up some points if you both play well on those holes.  @DaveP043has played a similar format (I played with Dann from RICC).
