The Timing Move ALL Great Golfers Share

Ian Fraser and Ryan from the Fraser Golf Institute break down the critical timing move shared by all elite golfers: the early pressure shift. Using Swing Catalyst force plate data, they demonstrate why recreational golfers lose power by waiting too long to move into their lead side. The video features a specialized rope drill to help players feel the 'magic moment' of transition where maximum force is created.

• The backswing from a pressure perspective should be 'done' around lead arm parallel, even as the club continues to travel back.
• Pressure re-centering (moving toward the target) must happen before the club changes direction to create athletic force.
• A 'mass shift' (moving the body's center) is different from a 'pressure shift' (moving the force applied to the ground).
• Avoid the common mistake of 'freezing' at the top, which eliminates the space needed for a powerful transition.
• Think of the trail foot as the gas pedal and the lead foot as the brake to create maximum rotational speed.
