Weight Forward

Who wants more consistency?
The Number 1 request I hear on the lesson tee is without a doubt, “I want to be more consistent”.

The best way to improve your ball striking is to focus on the location of your weight during the swing. If your weight is too far back (towards the right foot for a right handed golfer), then the “low-point” of your swing will be behind the ball - resulting in fat shots, thin shots, and topped shots (you didn’t lift your head, I promise!).
