Is Your Weight Shift Stuck? Do These 3 Things
A better weight shift starts before you ever swing the club.
In this video, I break down 3 physical things that can limit your ability to shift pressure into your lead side:
- Balance
- Hip mobility
- Single-leg strength
If you struggle with hanging back, losing power, or feeling like you can’t get onto your lead leg, this is a great place to start.
The first test is simple: stand on one leg with a golf club for support. Then try it with your eyes closed. Then make it harder by adding a mental challenge, like counting backward by threes.
Why? Because golf doesn’t happen in a quiet gym. You have to balance, rotate, shift, and make decisions all at the same time.
From there, I show a 90/90 hip mobility drill to help you turn into your lead hip, plus a small lift-off variation to build more control and power. Then we finish with lunges and Bulgarian split squats to build the single-leg strength you need for a strong weight shift.
Watch the video, then try the balance test today.
Drop a comment with which one felt hardest: balance, hip mobility, or single-leg strength.
