WHY YOU CANT SHIFT YOUR WEIGHT 

Can't thank you enough Chris for your wonderful videos. I've shot 78 twice in the last month. Didn't realise how crucial the set-up is. The last time I broke 80 was 20 years ago.

wish id seen this years ago sums up my struggles pefectly, thankfully now with a better swing path i dont suffer so much and can get my weight through it but this does come back when i get tired .great insight this is a golden nugget for mid higher handicappers thanks chris great insight

Taken me forty years to figure this out and you did it in a few minutes. Wonderful Thank you

Fabulous Explanation, common to many. It would be very helpful to know how this fault can be corrected. Thanks.

There comes a time,I think in a golfers life when he's lucky enough to stumble upon a suggestion, a video etc. that helps him to know exactly what he's doing wrong and this was it for me, you'll probably never see this response but I had to tell you what a tremendous difference this video did for me.THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Thanks for the video, this is what I do! Will be working on my swing path.

Thanks Ryan this video help me learn my mistake last time and I really know now how to swing in the correct way and also deliver the club inside not out

This is an EXCELLENT video. I've taught myself golf (started 26 hcp and now a 16 in a year) from youtube and watched countless instructors (I have a short list of good videos that are actually useful) - I've video taped my swings to no end and experimented for hours on the range with the camera, but despite ALL my efforts I couldn't shift my weight (I'm fairly athletic and played college table tennis). I know I have a slight over the top, but I had delayed working on that until I shifted my weight FIRST, which was completely the opposite thing to do based on the video above. I caused countless problems with my swing because of that. The mechanics in this video made all the sense in the world... swing path changes the bottom point of the arc and therefore changes the way your body compensates for it. Over the top = no weight shift (if you do try to shift weight with an over the top like I tried, you'll top the ball regularly and make incorrect compensations). You HAVE to change to an inside out path and that bottoms out the arc sooner and your body compensates by shifting weight forward, synchronizing the start of the downswing. Thanks Chris!

I like this explanation. Makes sense. I’m still guilty of back foot shots occasionally. I found a smaller back swing is effective in helping correct club path. Thank you Chris.

Great teacher.

I vividly remember a swing yesterday which struck me as “hanging back”. Your explanation has clarified it. Thanks. I’m about ready to start working on early season uneven lies which are challenging wrt path and shift for me.

Chris, all of your videos are helpful, but this is particularly good and clear. Keep up the good work.

Hi Chris. This is a very helpful video. I certainly hadn't realised how swing path affects the low point. Thank you. Malcolm

Great video. Hundred percent correct about why I can’t get to my left side. Next logical question would be how to adjust my down swing to the inside, rather than over the top?

Really excellent explanation and demonstration!!!

This is a good video to explain the logic behind fixing a swing. It proves without a doubt that the golf pro or your friend who tells you that you are 'over thinking' is not correct. You can only over think something you understand. People who use the phrase 'overthinking' know the golf swing from a child or are bad players who dont care to improve. We can understand from this video that golf swing faults are a chain reaction of compensations resulting from a flawed technique. You have to trace the flaw back to the root of the technique disconnect. Difficult if an action is counter intuitive.

This is the only instruction I have seen that understands that to shift your weight properly in the the downswing you must keep the club on plane. Coming over the top, even a little,makes it almost impossible to shift the weight.. The feeling I have is that at the start of the downswing the club head must move away from the target for an instant. If it feels like the club head is moving towards the target you have

Very well explained , thanks

Really Really well explained thank you 👏👏

Best explanation as to why I top the golf ball. Thank you after all these years --the mystery is solved.
