If you want to master the skill of consistent ball striking, then learning how to start the downswing is a big part of that puzzle.
However, there is a lot of conflicting advice out there when it comes to what exactly starts the downswing.
Legs? Knees? Hips? Arms? Torso?
The truth is, getting your weight to your lead foot EARLY in the downswing is a key skill that we see expert players demonstrate consistently. Once their weight is sufficiently forwards, they can start pushing up with their legs to shallow the swing and increase the club speed.
Most amateur golfers simply NEVER get their weight far enough forwards in the downswing, and if they do, they don’t get it there EARLY enough to reap the benefits.
In the Stack&Tilt book, Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett discuss a drill called “Crush The Can” using the analogy of crushing a soda can under your lead foot as you transition from backswing to downswing. The DOWNWARD and FORWARD movement that this drill trains is a critical movement in establishing the low-point of the swing far enough DOWN and far enough FORWARDS to promote quality contact on a consistent basis.
So use the CRUSH THE CAN drill to start the downswing correctly and finally move your weight far enough to the lead side and experience the best ball striking of your life!
