I have posted various tips recently but one I forgot to include is weight transfer. This gets controversial because of the spectrum of one end saying don't transfer, ie. stack and tilt and at the other end saying one needs a major transfer, ie. mo norman et al.
Well, I am somewhere in the middle for the following reasons:
1. I advocate keeping the left heel on the ground(for Right Handed) during the backswing and rolling from middle of the left foot onto the side of the foot.
2. I advocate also using the left knee during the pivot which will usually tranfer the weight onto the right side. Note should be taken not to go past the balance point of the right foot, this is a sway and will destroy the shot.
3. I finally will say that timing is critical in weight tranfer to make sure you transfer back properly to the left side on the downswing. My downswing begins with my weight transfer to the left before I have completed my backswing. This puts one in a strong position to lag the club down to parallel.
Questions or comments are appreciated.
