Impact position wieght distribution...

[Mattie]

Hi all

Right then ive had 2 lessons and I think I am making good progress.

Ive spent a couple of weeks throwing my weight forward and then having my body pull itself forward, but I think I have finally worked out to gently move from 50-50 split weight at address, then to 80/90% on to back leg when at top of swing and then to 95/100% on front leg when at the finish of my swing.

Seems to be a lot smoother than i used to be and im not falling forward or becoming unstable.

My question is at impact; my heel should be starting to come up off the floor and my hips somewhat open but what should the weight distribution be between each leg?

Im thinking about 70% on front lef??? Im not quite sure

Thanks for any tips!!!!

78.73% on the left at impact, plus or minus a bit.

lol im gonna 0.5 poke u in the eye hehe

Ill take that as most on the front leg then, cool, im off to range tomoro to smash some balls.

Please try not to go 80-90% onto the back leg... 60 or 70% would suffice...
(Ack! can't believe I just wrote that)

What's your h/cap Mattie?

Hi
Well at my first lesson my pro wrote 28 on the card thing so I guess its that. Does that mean I dont really have one?

It does feel about 60/70% to be honest as im only on the back leg for a small amount of time. I think I was over doing it from 90% one side to 90% the other but no ive calmed it down it seems more natural and fluid

Unless you've joined a club and put in 3 cards you won't have an official h/cap... so you will be refered to as 28 h/cap until you do.

Thats no problem, I dont need an official h/c just now.
Not sure what I would be satisfied with though to be honest

Any chance of putting a video up as it'll make it a lot easier for Bob and the low handicappers to give you some feedback

Hi HomerJ

Good idea... as soon as I can get down to the range ill get someone to film my swing. I have some old videos where im hunched over etc, hopefully im alot better now!

Thanks
