Most golfers are told to “shift their weight” in the golf swing… but that’s not actually what’s happening.
In this video, I break down the key difference between weight shift vs pressure shift — and why focusing on pressure (not weight) can completely change how you move, strike the ball, and control your swing.
It might sound surprising at first, but once you understand it, it makes the golf swing feel much more natural and repeatable.
If you’ve ever struggled with balance, consistency, or timing, this could be the missing piece.
What you’ll learn:
The difference between weight shift and pressure shift
Why most golfers get this wrong
How to move pressure correctly in your swing
A simple way to improve contact and consistency
