Pressure creates the motion. Positions are just the result.
In this video, Brad Hawkins argues that golfers should prioritize pressure patterns over chasing visual swing positions. He explains that ground pressure dictates rotation, tilt, and sequence, and that mastering the timing and direction of this pressure is the key to building a functional, repeatable swing.
Swing positions are the result of motion, not the cause; focus on the pressure that creates the movement.
Pressure is about timing and direction—where it moves and when—rather than just the total amount of weight.
Correct pressure patterns naturally create the necessary space and delivery for a solid strike.
Incorrect pressure leads to common swing flaws like spinning, stalling, and early release (throw).
The 'Left Tilt' system relies on understanding how pressure, tilt, and body responses interact.
