Your Golf Swing Starts From the Ground Up

If you’re struggling with inconsistent ball striking, chunks, thin shots, or a golf swing that feels all arms, look down before you start changing what your hands are doing. 👀⛳️ Your pressure shift might be the missing piece. Watch the feet and hips closely in this video, because the important part isn’t just where your weight goes, it’s when it gets there. In the backswing, pressure loads into the trail side, staying more toward the inside of the trail foot rather than drifting to the outside. But here’s the part a lot of golfers miss: You don’t wait until the backswing is finished to start moving toward the target. As the club is finishing the backswing, pressure is already beginning to move toward the lead side. That gives you a better opportunity to rotate through the shot instead of: → Hanging back on your trail foot → Sliding through impact → Throwing the arms at the ball → Trying to save the strike at the last second Think of the sequence as: LOAD → SHIFT → ROTATE Not: LOAD → WAIT → PANIC. 😅 And this is why simply watching weight-shift videos can only get you so far. You may understand exactly what you’re supposed to do and still have no idea whether you’re actually doing it. That’s the problem the Ball First Board is designed to solve. It gives you physical feedback for the trail-side load, helps prevent excessive sway, and gives you a reference for moving into the lead side so you can train the movement you’re seeing in this video instead of guessing. If you’re tired of knowing what a good golf swing should look like but struggling to reproduce the feeling, this is where I’d start. 👇 Train your pressure shift with the Ball First Board: https://improve.shotcraftgolf.com/products/bfb/lp2?utm_content=youtube-short-Slidinghipsfeetpressure&utm_medium=social Watch the video again and pay attention only to the feet this time. Then save it for your next range session. #GolfSwing #GolfTips #GolfInstruction #GolfSwingTips #WeightShift #GolfPressureShift #BallStriking #GolfDrills #GolfTraining #GolfPractice #GolfDownswing #GolfContact
