Fix Your Backswing Weight Shift for Ball-First Contact
Clay Ballard from Top Speed Golf explains why loading too much weight onto your lead foot in the backswing leads to falling back on your trail foot during the downswing. By properly loading into your right side like a baseball pitcher with athletic knee bend, you can push forward to the lead side for consistent ball-first contact.
Loading onto your lead foot early in the backswing prevents pushing from the right side, causing a reverse pivot and cast.
Start your backswing by getting right, loading into your trail leg like a pitcher on a mound.
Maintain an athletic knee bend in your trail leg so you have leverage to push forward into the downswing.
Shift both your hips AND your upper body left to keep the swing's low point ahead of the ball.
