Bryan Seton demonstrates how to eliminate 'chunked' shots by properly utilizing ground pressure. By setting up with 60% weight on the lead side and pushing off the ground during the release, golfers can move their low point forward for a cleaner, more compressed strike.
Chunking is often caused by pressure staying on the back foot at impact, causing the club to bottom out early.
Start with approximately 60% of your weight on your lead leg at address.
Increase pressure into the lead leg during the transition before pushing off the ground through impact.
A proper weight shift allows for a stable head position and a more compressed ball-first contact.
Focusing on power through impact is more important than a full, aesthetic follow-through for strike quality.
