►There are limited tips on RU-vid talking about weight in your feet, and it's something we must look at if we want to help prevent slice or hooked shots. It's an area of the golf swing which comes up in most golf lessons because it can affect rotation and swing path to such a degree. It can also affect ball striking and as a fault is often overlooked.

That “toe up” feel is everything.

@stymie777 4 месяца назад

You are absolutely correct! How can anyone fix their swing if their weight is not correct at the sit up. Your weight and feet position has to be perfect at the start and finish of the swing. If everyone watched this video, they could actually be on the road to be a much better golfer. This is the best video I have ever watched to show the correct weight distribution. Great job!!

@dciccoritti 3 года назад

Thank you Andy. I was letting my heel get off the ground in my backswing. Was totally blown away when I took a look. Can't go to the range yet, but in my office, I tried a backswing with the thought of planting firmly into the heel of my trail foot and BOOM!...all of the tension disappeared.

@christinegoulden7940 2 года назад

I used to fall off of the shot when I was on my heels. I am now balanced but with a splayed lead foot so that I can turn. Thank you Andy.

@eddien9634 2 года назад

Thanks for some solid advice, appreciate this!

@tallyhoe03 Год назад

I had an issue with getting too much into my toes and actually occasionally shanking it with my irons due to over extension with my arms making the club much closer to the ball. I have been focusing on getting my weight more back towards the heels throughout the swing and it’s been absolutely game changing. I’m hitting the middle of the club face much more often and the “shortening” the club which eliminates dreaded shank.

@MrJohnnyb74 4 месяца назад

When you combine this with more hip depth on your swing, it feels effortless.

@HarryBase63 3 года назад

How is it that you're the FIRST one that's talked about this?? Watched hundreds of "fix your slice" videos that say nothing about this! Can't wait to try it, Thanks dude!!

@andycartergolf 3 года назад

Pleasure Harry. I was surprised there wasnt any either to be honest. I coach 30-40hrs per week so maybe I see more common faults.

@MrJohnnyb74 4 месяца назад

Agreed. I've had numerous lessons where the instructor never mentioned weight distribution between my heels and the balls of my feet.

@christinegoulden7940 2 года назад

I had to come back to this video,Andy, following a golf Wedge lesson I had today with one of my club Pro's. For any of my Irons dating back to about 1983. Because of my age and lack of movement, I have my trail foot 5 inches back for an Iron and 2 inches back for a Wood. I have those positions as a former slicer. That works but today's Wedge lesson was mind blowing. My club Pro asked me to reverse the feet position so that my lead foot was 5 inches back with a wider stance, and make sure I am clipping the ground hard as opposed to brushing it an inch past where the ball was. I get the correct contact sound and the correct hight for the shot, and it is straight, but God and my PGA Pro only knows why. I was 3 feet shy of 100 yards with my 43° Pitching Wedge. Which is one club length improvement for me, which is crazy. Thanks for this one, Andy.

@dougoconnorstaff9849 Год назад

Many thanks Andy for the video. I have been lifting my right heel off the ground in my backswing for years and never knew how to stop it. I have struggled with weight transfer also and not getting the weight in the middle of my feet. Your drill will help a lot.

@andycartergolf Год назад

Thanks Doug. Hope it does help buddy. There’s nothing wrong with lifting your hell in the backswing if it helps rotation but becareful the weight doesnt fall to your toes

@gabbagabba321 3 года назад

I do the toes up drill quite a lot as I slip back into this fault. I find it works even better in bare feet. Helps if it’s in summer (or Dubai) so you don’t get frostbite though!

@andycartergolf 3 года назад

Yes i slip into this fault very often too. You’ll often notice it on my drives. I pressure too much into my right toes in the bswing

@jaycoyoyo 3 года назад

I recently had a lesson, and my coach noticed that I was standing on my heels. He gave me some drills to get my weight more on the balls of my feet. Good video!

@andycartergolf 3 года назад

Perfect!! Most common I see is weight to the toes. Always creates out to in path

@marcusramirez8486 11 месяцев назад

I didn't realize with my trail foot that I was on my toes. So, I tried your method and It eliminated my slice. I've got better rotation now and can feel my tempo better. I do swing fast and this method adjusts my tempo through my swing. I was amazed. Thanks

@charlenehastings3178 3 года назад

This is an excellent video on weight distribution. If the feet are unstable it will be very hard to hit the ball correctly.

@andycartergolf 3 года назад

Correct, it’s something we coach a lot of

@richardboag8827 Год назад

I've been hitting way on the heel during my swing due to my weight shifting to my toes during the downswing. This caused me to hit shanks with my irons and weak shots with my driver. I put a bandaid on it by setting up with my club not even behind the ball so that when I lean toward the club reaches the middle of the face. Makes it hard to aim. Gonna try these

@christinegoulden7940 2 года назад

Good one, Andy, thank you. I was searching today to see if you had done anything related to balance. I used to be on my heels a lot until my club pro said it was making me fall off of the shot. I had an interesting incident today related to balance in the lead foot and right foot for a right handed player. I have been taught to have weight on the front foot for wedge and 9 iron shots around the edge of the green. I started to do this for all my irons but it messed up my longer irons. I couldn't hit a 5 iron for a month or so till I corrected it, to have even balance. I was trying to bypass the transfer of weight and got found out. lol

@andycartergolf 2 года назад

Yes different shots will require different weight points when swinging. Around the green more forward in the feet is a good tip

@ruudschrijvers1874 3 года назад

Never payed attention to this - quite important - detail of the swing. But.........now I will 😉

@andycartergolf 3 года назад

Surprised there isn’t more RU-vid videos on this to be honest. As a full time coach its a fundamental Issue i see very often

@MrJohnnyb74 4 месяца назад

Great video. I got in a bad habit of too much weight in my toes while practicing on a range with the ball always above my feet. I would film myself but couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. My contact was heel side on the clubface even though I tried to rotate more into my lead side. I put more pressure on my heels and all of my strikes were out of the middle and my swing felt much more effortless producing more of a draw.

@andycartergolf 4 месяца назад

Awesome, great adjustment. Well done

@Spotofgardening 3 года назад

Literally struggling with this a lot trying to move to a more "professional" repeatable swing. My issue isn't on back swing, my weight transfers nicely. My issue is on the downswing, I tend to hip thrust and jump up on my toes, combined with fast arms and I can hit all sorts of shots, but mainly a big hook. Problem is I am a feel golfer and can't find the feel of a proper hip turn and keeping weight in heels. Going to try curling toes up, thank you 🤟🤟🤟

@andycartergolf 3 года назад

All the way through reading this comment i was just thinking CURL THE TOES UP haha then you saved me at the end! Let me know how it goes!

@brutalaj 2 года назад

I think you might have fixed my swing, I'm one of those golfers you described in 3:23. I've been doing that since 2001 and it caused shanks and me quiting golf lol.

@andycartergolf 2 года назад

Hope its helped buddy

@kennykoalabear 2 года назад

Thanks for these pointers Andy. I have a question, many teaching pros say to load ones weight on the trail heel at the top of the backswing. You make no mention of this so I’m wondering if you could please clarify this for me. Thanks. BTW, saw you on Rick Shiels show and I’ve followed your instructions ever since and have learned a ton. Regards Ken

@andycartergolf 2 года назад

Hi Ken, thanks for the message buddy. Im glad the tips are helping. I personally don’t like seeing my players on their trail heel at the top of the swing because its a long way back to the lead side in time for impact. Keeping the weight as close to 50/50 as possible makes a good impact more achievable in my opinion

@kennykoalabear 2 года назад

@@andycartergolf Thanks very much for your explanation and I will take that on board. Had my best round, 7 under my handicap last Friday. I used your backswing tip of pointing the club face at the ball on the backswing. It was a great help as I had not encountered that before. My iron ball striking was the best in years.

@moreme40 3 года назад

Good video. I have to feel like I set up on my heels or I fall forward and come over the top every time

@andycartergolf 3 года назад

Yes the weight distribution through the feet is so important for the movement patterns of the swing

@jayburd4225 10 месяцев назад

Its crazy. I was starting with too much weight on my heels. When i finally got my shoulders in front of my toes and stay on them. My consistency improved.

@lesleylogan1312 3 года назад

Saw Bernard Langer on Sky talking about going heel to heel. Working for me but I guess the secret is not to over do it,

@andycartergolf 3 года назад

Yes its massively important but Like all tips be careful not to overdo it

@spencerfitzgerald5955 10 месяцев назад

@sumitagg1 Месяц назад

What about the weight side to side at set up

@tonygarner3942 2 года назад

Something I did years ago. Pull my toes up on both feet before everything swing.

@the_quest_outdoors10 Месяц назад

so is this more of a balanced? i feel i was more on not really toes but weight fwd tried a more balanced weight on my feet feels diff to start but then didnt have to think and helped with consistancy

@andycartergolf Месяц назад

Its for players who have their weight in the toes which usually causes poor rotation and often slice shots. The feel of putting the weight back in the heels helps balanced swings

@damonpoole 2 года назад

Thanks Andrew, you just prevented a suicide by 3 iron. Instant fix.

@andycartergolf 2 года назад

Thank god for that 😂

@94jettameowpsst 3 года назад

Luckily I’m not thinking about straight left arm, one piece take away, cue into right hip before wrist break, maintaining posture, relaxed grip pressure, push off from the right, right shoulder down to draw, or open left hip on rotation through the ball - I could use another swing thought 😂

@andycartergolf 3 года назад

Hahaha excellent add this one to the list 😂. In all seriousness try to reduce them! You’ll find that some swing thoughts lead into other improvements in the swing

@rw_golf6387 3 месяца назад

Would setting up with too much weight on the toes cause you to hit it off the toe?

@andycartergolf 3 месяца назад

It could as it can cause early extension and a more vertical shaft angle at impact taking the heel out of the ground too much

@rw_golf6387 3 месяца назад

PS I have to have 80 20 weight on the front foot with all my clubs, and be able to walk off of the shot, and it works.

@rackum44 Год назад

One thing I never understood is they always say the weight on the balls of the feet which is closer to the toes that even the middle of your feet or even heel. When I finish my swing I'm always a little on my lead toes and not on a heel with the toes up

"Weight should be on the balls of the feet just back from the toes pass the arches? " Did you mean the weight is on the balls of the feet between the toes and the arches?

Don't say "more better". It's grammatically wrong.

I make my own language, its more better that way

@stewarttrickett3033 10 месяцев назад

I think this is plain bad advice. It's not toe or ball or heel thing. Those aren't the only options. Better is halfway between the ball and heel, or a little towards the heel. That's where your weight should end up at the top of your swing anyway, so no adjustment is needed during the backswing.

@andycartergolf 10 месяцев назад

Its a drill 😤🙄 Most slicers I coach (and ive been coaching for 15yrs!) have most weight on their toes during the swing. It prevents turn, rotation, depth. Therefore encourages an out to in path and poor face control …. This is a feel drill to move weight back and feel the increased rotation and depth. But im sure i said that in the video

@stewarttrickett3033 10 месяцев назад

You explicitly said that the weight should be on the balls of the feet, and I've heard many instructors say that. But it's terrible advice. That puts your weight too far forward. Weight should be over the arches, somewhere between the ball and heel, where you're in excellent balance and can rotate easily. I have no problem with you telling people to put their weight on the heels as a training exercise, so they get the feel of keeping their weight off their toes. And in fact some professionals do that in their normal swing. Or at least claim to -- I think they they just favor weight TOWARDS the heel.

@GolfingMalky 3 года назад

For me, I find that putting a club cover under my right heel and feeling like I am pressing down into it helps with starting my hip turn. At my age anything that helps with poor hip turn / poor flexibility is good! Cheers

@andycartergolf 3 года назад

Try Putting the cover under your toes and avoid pressing into the cover. Should work better
