How I Always Shift My Weight In The Downswing (With Cerebral Palsy)

Golf instructor JChownGolf demonstrates effective ways to shift weight onto the lead side during the downswing, sharing insights from playing with cerebral palsy. He explains the importance of staying centered in the backswing and shifting forward early using the Ball Forward Drill to achieve clean ball-then-turf contact.

• Stay centered over your stance in the backswing; swaying too far right makes moving back to the lead side nearly impossible.
• Begin shifting weight to your lead side early in the downswing transition, around left arm parallel.
• Use the Ball Forward Drill to force your body to shift forward and cover the golf ball for solid impact.
