I Finally Learned How to Move Properly in the Golf Swing
Golf instructor Liam Robinson coaches professional golfer James Wiltshire on how to properly move onto the lead side in the downswing. Liam breaks down the relationship between center of mass and center of pressure, demonstrating why keeping the arms elevated during transition prevents early rotation. Using staggered foot drills and step drills, James learns how to achieve controlled, penetrating iron ball flights.
Keep your arms elevated at the top of the backswing during initial transition to allow lateral pressure shift.
Understand that center of pressure moves ahead of center of mass into the ground.
Push pressure into the lead toe box early in the downswing before lower body rotation kicks in.
Practice with a staggered foot stance (trail foot back) to stop spinning out early and eliminate heel strikes.
