Malaska Golf // Shift Your Weight is a Bad Idea - Golf Swing Basics

I get this question when I talk to people about the shift in forces in your golf swing. Players think that if they're trying to shift their weight from right to left, they're going to be able to generate more speed. This is not the case. You're not shifting your weight in your golf swing. There is no shift in body mass. You are shifting force from your right to your left, and you are pushing away from the force of the golf club as you move through impact.
Give your mind a better task and you will see better results.
Don't just play golf. Understand it.

    I am 74 and only started playing again after I retired at age 71 having only played about a dozen times in 25 years. My Handicap in 2017 was 36, that was embarrassing. I started watching Mike's KZread videos in early 2019 and at that time my Handicap was down to 26. I am now down to 19 and i am enjoying the game again and looking forward to getting down to 15 this year with Mike's help. Thanks Mike

    I’ve watched many golf videos for a few years now and you are the best instructor hands down! Your simple explanations always give me the aha moment. Handicap definitely will drop once courses open up again. Thank you Mike! Stay safe!

    This is the best video and explanation of some bad habits for most amateur golfers. Thank you Malaska! ⛳🏌️‍♂️💫

    Excellent, that's the best explanation I've ever heard about this. My best shots are when I feel that "mass" at the end of my club from start to finish "pulling opposite of me. That's the "force vector" and when you hit the ball, you feel nothing. When you fight it, things go bad, very bad. You can only have one coach instructing you, you're it. Thanks!!!!

    As a beginner this is great. My body did this naturally and I thought it was wrong.. your description of hip actions moving back, not sideways, cleared this up. Look forward to the head vid. Your explanations are clear, concise and capture my attention. Thanks.

    Mike, where in the world have you been. The MOST gratifying thing about your "teachings" is your explanations of the concepts that you've been taught, tried to use, and which, in the end, hurt your golf game.

    Thank you for this video Mike. What a great explanation to the horrific teachings of many as to how you need to transfer weight. Moving forces is so much different.

    What a great insight that is from the GOAT. This explains the differences between reverse pivot, weight shift and pressure shift brilliantly Thanks so much.

    Mike, your stuff is saving me. I only wish I saw the light 30 years ago. Your “hips and the pivot points” explanation cured me after years of early extension. And this makes so much sense. It’s a shame that well-meaning teachers blindly lead their students down the road of frustration. Thanks!
