If you cant get your weight to shift back, why shift it in the first place? Work on staying centred if you ask me. Get the S&T book and adopt only that part if you are an S&T sceptic.

Put a ball under the outside of your right foot. a) you'll feel if you are shifting too far back onto it, and b) concentrate on stepping off it as you hit the ball.

Gary Player has a tip for it but its a bit extreme IMHO. He looks to take a step towards the hole as he hits the ball. Its an old man's way of getting through the ball - might suit you Steve...

Mattyboy, I have the S&T book and sort of tried it out, trouble is theres a lack of instructors and going the self taught route may not be nough.

debating buying a casio ZR10 camera and joining Evolvr. My swing is in pieces at the mo, fats, thins, slices... makes me wanna just throw my clubs in the bin after todays round :(

You just have too many cures buzzing round your head that's all.
Study a few pros on tour and look at them at impact, then compare your position (in relation to their hips and right foot).
Try and just turn better through impact and finish on your right toe. That will help a multitude of sins
