- Dr. Tyler Standifird studies golf biomechanics and shows you how shifting the lead lead side early and with a lot of force is a critical component if you are going to have a swing with speed and consistency. If you struggle with getting your low point in front of the ball and chunking shots this will be huge for you. Once you understand the timing of when great golfers shift to the lead side you can add this to make your own swing better.

Old tuition paints golf as such a static sport but thanks to modern biomechanic understanding coming from biometics we can really see how dynamic it is.
Golf really had a “dark ages” in tuition between Hogan and recent years.
But you got to go down some to come up!
The launch monitors, force monitors, and slow motion video we think are great tools to help make sure what you feel or think is happening is actually the reality. Everything happens so fast in the downswing it is really hard to see with the naked eye so these tools help us with insight that have helped so many of our students.
Nailed it. 99% of instructors describe this incorrectly. Lateral shift is a positive push off trail side towards the target. However, it must be done in conjunction with other forces which ‘brake” it and stops us continuing towards the target (body in motion stays in motion.. bla bla bla). It’s why a lot of us ams can’t hold a balanced finish. The balanced finish is not just to look pretty, it’s affirmation that all the forces in the swing are balanced. Getting them occurring in the correct sequence is key, starting with lateral. Great video, Tx.
Appreciate the comments - thanks for watching. Hope you find other content on the channel useful as well.
Great point in shifting laterally to the front foot and not forward and down. I was doing that and it made it harder to have good contact with the golf ball. I have always felt stuck in the golf swing on coming down and now I know why. If I don't shift my weight laterally and open up my front hip there is no where to go except over the top or do an immense amount of side bend on the right side to get the club on the ball. Great visuals and instruction. Thanks from Canada!!!!
Thanks for sharing! You want to avoid that excessive side bend - hard on the lumbar spine when you do that! You've noted spot on what we see in so many lessons so glad this resonated with you!
What is the weight distribution at the top of the swing between rear and lead foot for an elite player?
Here is a better visual I believe - What you see in an elite player is by the time the lead arm is parallel on the way down that is the maximum vertical pressure on the lead foot. So the shift and rotate forces have peaked before that. This video will give you more details - ua-cam.com/video/zBjnqkmqMSo/v-deo.html
Great video .
Thanks! Hope you enjoy other videos on the channel.
Poor sound in this clip
Stop being entitled
We had a hiccup on one of the microphones during the recording. Sorry about that!
