Super Simple Weight Shift Drill to Improve Quickly


Published: March 2, 2026

It is easy to get bogged down with the complexities of each individual part of the golf swing.

But when it comes to transferring your weight, you will not believe how simple it is to perform this one weight shift drill.

In this video, I demonstrate the drill that has my students executing a proper weight shift within just a few minutes!

You will be amazed at how quickly you can develop an athletic weight shift with improved footwork and balance.

This drill works because it teaches your body the correct sequencing of weight transfer through a simple figure-8 footwork pattern. Instead of thinking about complicated mechanics, you simply let your feet guide the movement — and your hips, core, and balance naturally follow.

Watch this video now because you need a proper weight shift to improve both your consistency and your distance!
