Part 2/5:
When golfers focus on shifting their weight to their lead side—typically the left side for right-handed golfers—they set themselves up for a more consistent and powerful strike. Keeping the head still during this movement allows the shoulders to drop into the desired impact position.
This technique ensures that the golf club strikes the ball cleanly, leading to better shots.
Common Downswing Problems
Many golfers experience specific issues as they initiate their downswing.
Over-rotation: The Spinny Problem
A frequent mistake is what can be described as "getting too spinny." This issue arises when golfers fail to shift their weight properly towards their lead side. As a result, the right shoulder tends to rise, contributing to inconsistent contact with the golf ball.
