Understanding Weight Shift in the Golf Swing — Why Most Golfers Get It Wrong

In this video, we break down one of the most misunderstood parts of the golf swing: weight shift and pressure movement. I explain why many golfers struggle with pressure boards / balance boards / force boards, why they often cause more sway rather than fix it, and what actually happens in elite-level swings like Rory McIlroy’s.

Using detailed 3D Gears data, we look at:
✅ How much pros hips really move off the ball (from zero to 1.5 inches, re-centering very quickly)
✅ Why over-shifting into the trail side ruins consistency
✅ Why your arms, club weight, and momentum naturally create pressure — without sliding
✅ How the spine angle tilts toward the target (reverse pivot look) and why that’s a GOOD THING!
✅ How proper shoulder tilt creates a natural counterbalance

Whether you're struggling with sway, weight transfer, or balance, this video gives a clear and simple explanation of what the best players actually do — and how you can train it the right way.
