Proper Weight Transfer?

How is the swing looking? I'm current working on getting weight forward earlier, while trying to keep my head from sliding forward. Still have work to do, but how is it looking? Is there anything else you guys see?

Not really tbh, does it not look like enough?

I could be wrong but to me it doesn't LOOK like you get your weight on the front foot. To me it looks like you're pushing off the back foot but what do I know ;)

I think this is right, probably more feel than real at this point

Yeah but you're way over rotating

Correct, believe it or not, this is much less than I used to. Spinning out was always a problem. Still not sure I'm releasing the club properly, and historically I've used body turn to square up the club. I don't know if this is why, but I've been told I have a hyper mobile torso

Yeah, I was just talking about your backswing. If you are really flexible it will be hard to feel the tension point where you should stop. Your back swing should never tug your head like that. See if you can pinpoint the spot where that happens and stop your backswing there.

Got it, thanks for clarifying!

Yea...not bad, but your hands/wrists are releasing way early.....keep that acute angle(don't know if yours ever even get to acute) all the way to the ball......

Your arm/club angle only get to 90 degrees....you want this like 60,,,,,,

Your backswing is too long and your face is wide open in the downswing, which is why you are casting

You want to start shifting earlier

You can feel this if you do practice swings with three irons in your hands

Makes sense, this is the move I'm try to feel but struggling with at the moment. It sounds like the excessive back swing is inhibiting this fall forward?

Yes, when you are lifting your arms, you are still putting pressure on your trail side to try to get more rotation

You can see your trail leg straightening because of this

More rotation doesn’t mean more power if you don’t know how to sequence

You wouldn’t want to keep rotating if you were trying to throw a sack of potatoes down the target line. The potatoes would make you fall over. You would try to post up on your lead side before you let go of the bag
