Stop Rotating Your Upper Body! Shift Weight for Golf Swing Power #shorts

Coach Carolin explains why over-rotating the upper body hampers distance and consistency. She demonstrates how initiating the downswing transition with a lateral weight shift to the lead side unleashes effortless power. This key dynamic allows the upper body to rotate naturally through impact with greater clubhead speed.

• Avoid starting the downswing by spinning your upper body shoulders prematurely.
• Initiate the downswing by shifting your weight onto your lead hip and foot.
• Allow lower-body weight transfer to lead the upper-body rotation for maximum power and clubhead speed.
