The SECRET to Weight Transfer in the Golf Swing (Not What You Think)

Amateur golfers lack consistency because they load up their trail foot in the backswing which causes their weight to shift too far off of the ball.

In this video, PGA coach Kerrod Gray and @SteveFurlongerGolfPerformance demonstrate how to transfer your weight correctly in the golf swing so you can control your swing and strike the ball with more power.

The invisible forces that can fix the golf swing can be far more beneficial for players and produce faster results than moving on the actual or working on the actual movement of the body instead working on what’s happening in the ground 100%. So ground reaction forces we push into the ground at the right time we get that reaction in the opposite direction. They’re equal and opposite reaction in the opposite direction which will trigger that motion that we’re trying to get. So we’ve got internal forces trying to move the body, the internal muscular force. We got this external force using the ground. And golfers can do so much better and make that motion so much easier if they use the ground and then time those forces correctly. For sure. So let’s demonstrate a player who sways too much away from the target for too long. And we would see the player do this. Yeah. So swaying a lot, bottom of the swings behind, we’re going to see the angle of attack there is going to be quite positive. 4° and we’re hitting up on the ball, which is good for a driver, not necessarily for an iron. And so a player who is maybe trying to keep the club low to the ground for a long time because they might have heard that tip or load up the back foot at the top of the golf swing. Essentially, what we see with the best players, Steve, is quite different. we’re going to see that early spike of pressure that actually helps them reenter back towards the target, isn’t it? Absolutely. So, at most pressure is about 70% on the trail foot at the top of the back swing at most. And that would be somebody that’s really dependent on lateral forces and using it to power their swing much more than somebody that turns and rotates their body for example. So, generally what we’re seeing the better players with the better low point control less than 70 into 60. I’ve even seen players 50/50 with their pressure at the top of the back swing. However, early back swing there was a shift of pressure over to the trail side for sure. So to get that reentering motion of the body to keep to make sure that low point is moving forwards enough by the time you’ve got to top a back swing and it’s not moving continuously back behind the ball. Exactly. That reentering move. And what we could use is the force pedal on the outside of the foot on your trail foot to make you feel where a you apply the force and b the timings of it. Okay, let’s get it. Okay, so going to use the the harder one of the mini pedals. Place it across the line of the balls of the toes slightly to the lateral outside border. Mhm. That’s it. Perfect. Yeah. Almost feels like a bit of a springboard there from where I’m setting up. And so what players need to feel here, Steve, is that as they start their back swing, by the time that the club shaft kind of gets to level with the ground, they are pushing back towards the target, if not even earlier. Exactly. So they’ve created this outward force. they’ve spiked that towards the target reaction and that should allow them to reorganize and reenter their body and stop that excessive late sway of their body away from the target. Yeah. And I love the little trampoline effect that I feel when standing onto this force pedal. Uh instantly makes me want to get the sensation that I want to start drifting and reentering back towards the target. Absolutely. Now, when players do this, they might feel based on what their buddies have told them that they’re reverse pivoting by swaying their upper body back towards the target that early. But believe it or not, the reason the majority of players do that is because they are shifting their weight for too long away from the ball and then their upper body starts tilting back towards the target as a compensation. So, all this is doing is just giving you more of an athletic dynamic motion which will shift the low point forward. So you do one more with that force pedal towards the outside of the balls of the feet. Good. And then what you could do as an addition and to level up that drill the next part of it, I would put that on the balls of the toes underneath the lead foot, which is the softer version of the mini pedal. So we’re on the big toe and the next toe in. Go from being on pushing against the right to landing onto the left or the lead. So push under the trail by shaft horizontal reenter and then load up the lead foot early down swing really heavy. So cross the balls across that big toe and and the next toe in. Okay. So push off the back foot pedal and then land on the front foot pedal. Okay. So massive difference and we can see with the strike of how that felt off the golf ball. Everything’s looking great up in the data. So, if you are swaying too much away from the target in the back swing, it’s causing issues with your strike. Learn how to spike that pressure into your back foot a little bit earlier, and it can really help you improve your ball striking. Thanks for watching this video.
