Transfer Your Weight For Better Golf Shots

[MrLeemy123]

moe norman used to hit the ball like this on the course and he was probably the straightest hitter of all time

[baroberts]

great drill.  Thanks

[johnkim79]

Can this drill help with tee shots?

[cockywatchman1976]

Any chance of a video on a review of training aids-perhaps a suggestion of the best most helpful aids for each of the common problems eg plane, over the top, pivot, over swing, lag etc.

[cockywatchman1976]

Good drill. Some good free videos from mark-thanks mate. PS Still hate the intro music!!!

[bensalmonsen]

You are a great teacher. Thats all i have to say. I have studied the golf swing long and hard, but i dont think i have ever seen someone who knows it and can teach it as well as you do. Phenomenal.

My problem is I play all shots with that forward ball position except wedges is that ok?

[mattt101]

I think I have a similar problem although find myself not transferring weight onto right leg in backswing especially when using irons. Has anyone got any drills to sort this?

[TigerWoodsWorld]

@mattt101 imagine if u had grapes under ur right foot on the backswing and just step on the and make them burst and u will achieve weight on the back and bring it threw the left

hi mark, been watching your weight transfer video, i am having the exact fault myself, in impact position , i have to much weight on my right foot , tho i am hitting the ball ok, they are high in flight and i do tend to thin my long irons, is there a feeling or thought i can have when starting downswing, many thanks dazz

[surprisevisitor2000]

Looks like a perfect drill for me. I'll try it at the range today and let you now. Topping and hitting the ball fat are constant problems for me. Huge power loss when hitting the ground first! Thanks, Mark!

[gysgtallen1]

Great drill! I've been hitting the ball much better once using this drill. Thanks!

[underpardoode]

Great tip but would it not be better to play the ball and inch or so further back in your stance?

[si355]

Having now tried this it is the most effective drill I have ever used. I did find it quite easy, but the way it promotes the move does then transfer to your standard setup when you move the ball back.

Brilliant. Wish I lived near Exeter as Mark seems to explain things in a way which I can use them with my swing.

Great work.

[Opticallens]

Hi Mark,

With the transfer of weight do you move across first (keeping hips mostly closed) then back as you straighten your left leg (open through impact)?

Appreciate any comments

[si355]

I will have a crack at this. Topping just kills confidence and I know I'm better than that! Also good is the step or 2-step drill. Look it up.

[Drjet670]

One of the best drills I have seen. Thank you.

One of the best drills I have seen.

This video has a good drill to help us transfer our weight for improving our ball striking.

[Rioghal10]

Thanks for posting! very informative!

If you check out Mo Norman's stance, he insists that the ball should 'Always' be 4 or 5 inches in front of centre, ie: in-line with the heal of your lead foot!

[MarceloBustamante]

Great explanation and a great drill. My results have improved after applying this tip - thanks.

[dohpaz]

very interseting hint, i tend to not shift my weight, i will try this and post the result :)

[sessien]

@dohpaz Your weight should shift to the front foot before the swing and stay there. There is no real weight shift during the swing. It is in the set up.

[grizzellgolfer]

could you do a video of your colf clubs i would like to see what u play thanks
