When you go to pro-am, a common concern among amateur golfers is weight transfer. I often get asked, 'How can I do a weight shift?' You need to perfectly shift your weight to get the desired distance, trajectory and flight distance. If you don't shift your weight, it's easy to hit the ground. Today is a training method of weight transfer. Weight shift refers to the transfer of weight from your right foot to your left foot on the downswing and follow-through during the backswing. A swing with only arms without weight transfer cannot achieve the desired distance. Not only will the distance be lost, but the accuracy will also decrease.
Amateur golfers often keep their weight in place rather than shifting to the left. Rather, after the swing is completed, the weight remains on the right side and is seen to step back, but in this case, a miss shot will occur. At the moment of impact, the body falls back and hits the ball with the arms or the upper body falls down for a downswing. Weekend golfers often move their heads from side to side when swinging, but the balance is broken and the correct hit is not produced.
Professionals squat on the morning of the competition to check the weight transfer. Here's a simple way to do it at home. When you squat, sit down with your weight on your right foot, and when you stand up, shift your weight to the left and extend your right hand upward at a 45 degree angle. Similar to 'Superman' moves. Tour players always do this squat drill when warming up, and with consistent practice, you can definitely feel the weight shift. An iron shot requires accurate weight shift to achieve the desired distance and trajectory. Squat training is also very helpful for golfers who cannot use ground reaction force. Professional players can make contact without shifting their weight due to heavy training, but it is not easy for weekend golfers to fit the club exactly. Squat training should completely master the weight transfer.
Empty swings also help you learn to shift your weight. When you backswing without a club, shift your weight to your right foot, and during the downswing, feel your weight shift to your left foot. It's also a good idea to take a video to see your weight shift. In order to perfect the weight transfer, you must also do strength training. Golf can be made much easier and more enjoyable with a definite increase in distance.
