How to Get More Consistent Golf Shots Focusing on Your Lead Leg
Alex Fortey from The Art of Simple Golf demonstrates the '70% Lead Foot Secret' to eliminate inconsistent wedge contact. By stabilizing the lead leg and maintaining constant ground pressure, golfers can stop chunking and thinning shots from 30-100 yards.
Preset 60-70% of your weight onto your lead foot at setup.
Brace the lead leg into the ground to create a stable pillar for the swing.
Limit the backswing to lead-arm parallel to maintain balance and pressure stability.
Maintain constant pressure on the lead side (the 'Digital Scale' feeling) rather than shifting weight back and forth.
Use the same stable technique across multiple clubs (LW, SW, GW, PW) to vary distance rather than changing swing speed.
