Jonathan, you have improved my ball striking better than any other instructor on UA-cam. I went to the driving range after watching this video several times and hit a large bucket of balls without hitting any fat shots. Incredible. What you said about shifting all the weight of my body onto the leading leg did it for me. I often hit fat shots because I was releasing the club early and not shifting properly. What I like about you is that you don't chit chat. You get to the point and show how it's done. Keep it up, you're doing a great job.
I agree with this comment 100%. I was doing the same exact thing. I thought I was doing something wrong with my backswing or I thought I was off plane or I thought my chest wasn’t down; but that wasn’t the case. I issue I was having was with my shift forward- I wasn’t doing that. Thank you! If you’re ever in Michigan, please let me know, and I’ll love to hire you as my instructor for a half hour. Keep it up.
This is easily one of the most valuable golf videos I've ever seen. Presented clearly, there's no hemming and hawing and everything is well concisely explained. You're only a young man but you have a great future in golf instruction. Well done!
Agree with the comments below. I have also been told I'm an arm swinger and at age 53, the pains start to prove it. I found this video this winter and could hardly wait to start trying it. A few weeks ago I started hitting foam balls in my garage, trying the 3 drills. Amazing difference immediately and easy to get feedback. Played 9 holes today, first time since October, and shot a 42, which is great for the first round of the year, even getting an eagle on one par 5! Thanks for the drills, can't wait for the rest of the season now!
Super excited to try these drills. I REALLY struggle with weight shift, and never take a divot after the ball. Its like i know what i need to do but my body resists on the down swing. My weight is always on my trailing toe as i finish the swing.
Thanks. This video really helped me with a golf problem that has haunted my game forever. I FINALLY get that weight forward. Seriously, I like how you just keep it simple, authentic, easy to use drills. I have benefited greatly on the links.
I've been struggling with weight shift and striking the ball first then the ground for a long time. These drills have helped a lot. Jonathan does a real excellent job of describing how to overcome these errors. It takes practice but it has made a big difference in my ball striking and consistency putting these drills into practice on the golf course.
So helpful to give the pitfalls and how to avoid doing the wrong version of the drill. Many have shown these drills, but none show how doing them the wrong way can lead one astray. Cheers.
So many gems in this video; its the content of 5 videos in one. All my mistakes highlighted, I find it very hard to wait for the weight shift before starting my downswing but I will try these drills and see what changes…✅
Really great drills, I play monthly tournaments with lots of HIGH handicap golfers. All 3 of those drills reminded me of different buddies who could use the drill to help them consistently strike the ball. Great, simple, informative video. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing good information. When you shift weight to the lead side, what part of left foot you put pressure on? Outside? Toe? Heel? Or some combination of these?
Can’t wait to try the third drill. I feel like I shift pressure back in the backswing and also feel the majority of my pressure on my lead foot just before the start of the downswing, but I still find too much weight on my trail foot at the end of the swing. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic sequencing. New look videos great too. I think a important aspect is grip pressure, arms relaxed . It's never covered enough I think Great work 👍
Just subscribed to your channel, clear instruction I will endeavour to apply.Would be nice to start the new season with a new swing. It’s never too late to learn 😊
Great drill thank you! I sometimes feel as I’m not shifting enough weight to my trail side (my weight stays central during the upswing and shifts to the lead side during the downswing)
Another GREAT video, Jonathan 👍🏻 One question tho… I feel like I frequently hit my irons toward the toe of the clubface. I suspect I am pressing my weight into my left HEEL 🤔 Should I shift my weight more toward the left TOE? (to promote an inside out path?) I do have some lateral foot pain, so perhaps I’m shying away from shifting my weight to the outside of the left foot 🤷🏼♂️ One of the best golf instructors on UA-cam! p.s. the “Step Forward” after impact drill is a Gary Player move ☝🏻
Thanks Jonathan. The question I have (and maybe it's answered in a follow-up video) is: what is the best way to bring the "feels" from these drills into the actual transition and downswing?
That's a great video - thank you! One question --- I really like the first part of the video where you just start with all the pressure on your front foot. I'll try that at the range tomorrow and assuming it works well, why not just always hit like that? Meaning --- ignore the next two drills as the weight is already on the left foot at address. thanks!
Always love watching your lessons Johnathan but this one was one of my favourites, I definitely need these drills since I have always struggle with weight shift😜
It‘s my third season of golf and I started this spring trying to do that weight shift. When it works I can see a much better shot (especially with the driver) but at the same time I struggle with the correct timing. I see many hours of training ahead of me to get it right.
Careful, Fred. While some of this applies to the driver swing (and to varying degrees), this is mostly a tutorial on solid iron striking. The swings are very different. In some ways, they are opposite.
Can you do a video on drills for a more neutral club path? My wedges start pretty neutral but my long irons and woods are in to our big time (+6 to +10).
This is a great video and I unfortunately have issues getting to my left side. I’m flexible enough to make a nice shoulder turn but I’m much more tight/restricted on the follow through.

man you're a good teacher. love how concise and direct you are
Jonathan, you're truly an amazing coach!!! So concise, focused and devoted!!!!

Thanks Jonathan, I will incorporate these three drills into my daily practice routine.
You are the best golf instructor on youtube
This may be the best video explaining the weight shift that I have ever seen and I have watched many hundreds of videos! Great job!
Great content!
Thank you Jonathan.
Keep on as it is: clear, simple and helpful.
Regards

Just what I need! Been working on my weight shift. Great organized and succinct delivery!
This is brilliant Jonathan I really struggle with this, this is the first video I've found which explains it brilliantly thankyou so much 👍
JKM is my fav on UA-cam. I enjoy his instruction
Very good Johnathon. Something I’ve been working on. It’s harder to do than most think.
The best teacher ever

Looks great excersizes, will try it out this upcoming week!!
Thank you for sharing good information. When you shift weight to the lead side, what part of left foot you put pressure on? Outside? Toe? Heel? Or some combination of these?
Excellent succint lesson. Thank you
Can’t wait to try the third drill.

Thanks for sharing
Looks great. I will try these.
Thanks
Excellent video & drills 👍👍👍 quality
Love your work and help
Great commentary love your videos! Huge help thank you
I think you hit it right on the spot that all golfers should be practicing. Love the instruction.
Very watchable and easy to understand instruction. Many thanks.
Love ur concepts , that’s my problem I don’t know how to shift forward , but now I’m going to practice this new drills, ty again👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks, Jonathan very helpful
Tired these 3 drills today at the range. Was most successful with drill #1. Thank you! 😀
Good video on an important fundamental of the golf swing. 😊
Great drills. I struggle with getting all the way to my left side. I don’t even hit driver anymore.
Fantastic sequencing. New look videos great too.
I think a important aspect is grip pressure, arms relaxed . It's never covered enough I think
Great work 👍
Really enjoy your Concepts, drills and the way you explain these. So much sense and easy to see and repeat. Thank you Jonathan.
Had no idea this was a drill. I use to always keep most of my weight on the lead side when I started last year. Thanks Jonathan
I like the way you instruct
Excellent drills!
Just subscribed to your channel, clear instruction I will endeavour to apply.Would be nice to start the new season with a new swing. It’s never too late to learn 😊
Great great advice
Brilliant instruction very clear and concise very easy to follow great content 10/10
Top drill, well explained
Great drill thank you! I sometimes feel as I’m not shifting enough weight to my trail side (my weight stays central during the upswing and shifts to the lead side during the downswing)
Great video JKM 🙌
Great tutorial!
I’m a new subscriber now
need to try this out
Thanks for this video Jonathan. I really needed this. I'll be trying these drills out ASAP.
Great stuff Jonothan . I have always struggled with transfer of weight but I am finally starting to see some improvement with my irons
Love this!
Outstanding video!
Kept my weight on my left side today and played a miraculous round. Wow.
Hi Jonathon great step drills , simple and easy to understand.Thanks for the continuing videos.
Hey Johnathan would love to see you play on the course , can you do a course management lesson? do you compete in televised competitions?
really good visuals ..ty
So helpful!
Great tips Thanks!👍
Well Jonathan, that was a big and important lesson. Well done and thank you 🙏
Great concepts !
Great explanation thank you :)
Great drills.
Excellent 👍
Great Video. !
Another GREAT video, Jonathan 👍🏻

Thanks Jonathan. The question I have (and maybe it's answered in a follow-up video) is: what is the best way to bring the "feels" from these drills into the actual transition and downswing?
Gary Player, actually used the "Step Forward" Move, in his regular Swing, Thanks!
Very informative.
Very informative and would be great help
I am really struggling with my weight shift. I am off my back foot constantly. It is very frustrating. Thanks for the tips!
Great video. Very informative.
This a good VDO
May i confirm my understanding.
lead foot 60% can use for driver ?
That's a great video - thank you! One question --- I really like the first part of the video where you just start with all the pressure on your front foot. I'll try that at the range tomorrow and assuming it works well, why not just always hit like that? Meaning --- ignore the next two drills as the weight is already on the left foot at address. thanks!

Can you do a video on drills for a more neutral club path? My wedges start pretty neutral but my long irons and woods are in to our big time (+6 to +10).
this would help me too! I feel like its takeaway
Great drills
awesome thank you
Do you advise keeping feet very parallel? Not splayed (front especially) yours seem that way ? Liking your content very good 👍
Excellent
Great vid!
You are the best
This is a great video and I unfortunately have issues getting to my left side. I’m flexible enough to make a nice shoulder turn but I’m much more tight/restricted on the follow through.
I have the same issue, my solution is to fan my lead foot open 45', it also makes the finish position that much less painful on the lead knee.
Great drills Jonathan. Thanks for sharing. Will these work with Driver? I seemed to struggle more with weight shift using the big stick
Want to know the same, also struggle with the driver..
So that's where i'm going wrong. Thanks, this should do the trick.
