Weight shift in the golf swing is the FIRST thing you must master before worrying about any other movement. Once weight shift is mastered, other things will fall into place.
hey guys Chuck Quinton here founder of rotary swing and I want to welcome you to our new five step program that walks you through the golf swing step by step now I promise you if you follow this sequence and you actually do the drills don't just sit here and watch the videos you're not going to learn through osmosis and listening to me yammer away is not actually going to be how you learn kinesthetically you're going to learn a lot intellectually you're going to your brain is going to get exactly what I'm asking you to do because this stuff is not rocket science me telling you exactly what you're trying to do in the golf swing and understand the physics and biomechanics anatomy you're going to get all that stuff but you need to get up off your rear and start doing the movement if you do the drills and you go through them in the way that your brain actually learns the new movement pattern so go through the neuromechanics learning section you will make huge improvements in your golf swing just like the hundreds of thousands of people I've taught before you online and in person you will make huge changes in your swing and you will be able to hit the ball as well as anybody out there if you follow the system because more tour pros use the rotary swing tour mechanics than all of the other golf swing methodologies combined that's because you have to follow these biomechanics these physics this anatomy or you're either going to get hurt you're not going to hit the ball very far or you're not going to do it very consistently so this stuff is foundational for golf it is the fundamentals of the golf swing that every great ball striker uses in their mechanics and one of these most important things that you're going to start with is weight shift now weight shift may seem kind of innocuous and boring and why are you having me start with weight shift and just doing these simple little drills weight shift does so many things for you in the golf swing as you'll learn as you go through these videos it helps you change the direction of the club it helps give you momentum to get the club moving so your arms and hands can stay relaxed it gives you momentum to move the club so your shoulders can stay relaxed it creates secondary axis tilt which sets the swing plane it gives you more power gives you more leverage it loads muscles there's so many things that weight shift does for you and if you don't shift your weight you will do the exact opposite you'll throw the club away weight shift helps you create lag you'll start to spin your shoulders you'll hurt your back you'll push off the right side all kinds of things happen when you don't shift your weight correctly that are bad things in the golf swing and they're the things that most every single amateur probably 99 of the golfers i've taught over the years who are mid to high level handicap golfers don't shift their weight correctly that's how important this is so this is kind of like eating your veggies at first you're not going to love just working on these weight shift drills but keep doing them even the little ones shifting your weight to the right pushing the ankle down on the ground shifting left pushing the ankle ground lifting doing the frisbee drill all of these drills will help you make huge changes in your swing and it's great because you're not going to have to try and do anything with the golf club you're going to start to find that the golf club will settle naturally you'll create lag naturally you'll start creating a proper swing plane just by shifting your weight correctly so don't skip this just because oh i i weight shift is easy i want to get to the good stuff in the downswing and i want to start releasing the club and creating lag you're going to create lag as a byproduct of shifting your weight correctly you have to work on the fundamentals in the proper sequence and that's why the rst five step system starts with weight shift so don't ignore this take your time going through these videos do the drills at the end of the section and keep doing them until you are very comfortable you've got at least a few thousand reps in of shifting your weight correctly and you will start to make huge changes in your swing but you have to do weight shift first above and beyond all else
