"Golf Swing Weight Shift" Video
Using our Science and Motion (SAM) Balance Lab, we can pin point weight shift and weight distribution of golfers in real time. In this video, use the Balance Lab to show how simple it is to transfer weight for an increase in power of around 14% according to some research. The key is that weight shift is completely natural, and in fact, as you will see in the video, to NOT shift your weight will not only feel unnaturaly but leave you feeling powerless as well.
Think of any sport involving a hitting or throwing motion, from baseball to tennis and imagine performing those athletic motions without transferring your weight. An obvious loss of power is felt. However, in my book, The Rotary Swing, I discuss how it is not necessary for high handicappers or new golfers to focus much on weight shift. This is still the case. If you do not have time to practice nor the desire to work on your golf swing, then simplifying the motion to the fewest moving parts is paramount. But, if you are a serious golfer striving to get better, then a proper and simple weight transfer is a MUST for efficient power.
