I went out today and from the top my objective was to push the weight DOWN on the front foot, not shift it over to the left but and actual down type of feeling, this helped me to not have to worry about the weight going on the outside of my left foot, I even tried this with chips. It seemed to keep me staying inside of my left leg. before I would feel the weight shift latterally, but today it was more like latteral and down at the same time. ALso seemed to keep my head back. How does this sound?
how do I keep the weight on the inside of my right foot on the backswing without doing some of the locks and blocks you talk about, mainly keeping the hips turning free | Hi Shootin,
Please Ignore this if I have misunderstood the subject matter. Nick Bradley has a great drill "The Step In Drill" for creating the right feel and understanding for weight transfer :
Set up with a narrow stance and the ball just forward of the left foot. Make a smooth back swing and just as you are about to reach the top of the backswing take a step to the left with the left foot so that it moves forward of the ball, continue with the downswing allowing the right side to hit through to a balanced finish. It give the correct feel of the weight transferring to the left side then the right following through.
