Effortless Golf Swing - How to transfer your weight in the GOLF SWING

u/bdubsf 2022 · r/golftips · in “Been battling the shanks all year. Tried fixing path, posture, etc. Desperate for the right advice.”

Honestly a lot of good: straight arm, not terribly Over the top, etc One thing myself and others have picked up on is fluidity. You seem like you are going through stages in your swing, so it seems constricted. I think you need to start your forward momentum earlier to improve balance and center of gravity. I’ll try to find, but when I was having this same issue I found this video that pushed 1,2,3 count in your …

Agree with this. On your follow through OP, weight should move towards your left/lead foot. In this vid, your weight stays at the back foot as you swing. This results to hitting high shots but you’ll lose some distance and power. I struggle with this too on my drives. Here’s a great vid on how to transfer the weight. ▶ this video Hope it helps and good luck!

You have to remember that most of your power will come from your lower half. I’ve learned from drills like squish the bug from baseball. Also getting the weight transfer in your swing will be game changer and you will get more distance if you utilize your lower half more. Swing looks great though. ▶ this video ▶ this video (prob the best one for you) ▶ this video

Ah ok that makes sense. I do see from your picture that it’s your left foot which comes up off the ground and flies around, which does seem to indicate maybe you’re keeping your weight a little too much on your right foot as you come through impact. Even though you have great posture, if you’re holding your weight on your right foot, that absolutely can make it a little more difficult to hit the ball flush, and …

You incorrectly finish with your weight on the back foot. You end up on your left foot toes, you should finish with your right foot on the toes. Once you fix that, your over-the-top move would be next to work on. I suspect that correcting the weight shift may help a little bit with that as a residual result.

Your setup looks good, but it doesn't look like you are starting your downswing with your lower body. Looking very armsy throughout the downswing and you're losing your spine tilt way before impact. Check this video out for some drills to help your downswing and weight transfer: ▶ this video . If you only just started last year I'd suggest you get some lessons which will help stop you from grooving bad habits that …

u/kingwess 2021 · r/GolfSwing · in “Currently a 16.1, struggle with a slice obviously”

1. Your right elbow is losing that connection with your body. At the top of your backswing, your right elbow is "chicken-winging" and getting outside of your hands. If you keep it closer to your body it will be a lot easier to stay on plane and rotate through the ball correctly. Which brings me to my next point... 2. Your hips start the down swing way faster than your arms. Pause just as your club is starting to …

u/rollobrinalle 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Pretty consistent right push on irons. What do you see?”

Your problem is not getting your weight to the left side. That's it: you're on your back feet and will not finish strong. If you can't lift your back foot at your finish, then you're doing it wrong. I bet if you lifted you're back foot you'd fall on your a$$. See how much weight the kid below has on his left foot through impact and then go look at your video. Lots of videos but I linked one below. [preview.redd.it] …

You can do both. You should put pressure into your back foot without swaying back. A common feel is pushing into the inside of your back foot or heel. These videos may help: ▶ this video ▶ this video

Besides what everyone else has stated I’m not sure what’s going on with your feet. Are you trying to over exaggerate your weight transfer? If so then ok. Your left foot coming off the ground is just so extreme otherwise. If you weren’t practicing on weight transfer knock that off. You’re killing your swing, tempo, and accuracy by doing this. Check out the below but look up weight transfer to get even more ideas. …
