0:00 – Do you really need weight shift to hit it far? (spoiler: no)
0:30 – Why golfers fear “weight forward” in stack and tilt
0:52 – What “weight forward” actually means: low point forward (ball first)
1:19 – The big mistake: moving BOTH centers forward (upper + lower)
2:11 – “Wrench” concept: preset pelvis forward to control low point
2:44 – Key checkpoint: lower center forward, upper center behind (tilt)
3:30 – Why short irons can “hide” the mistake, but driver exposes it
4:14 – Where real distance comes from: angular momentum (not shifting)
5:35 – Why weight shift often makes swings shorter + kills depth/power
6:15 – How the wrench can add distance: better contact + more turn
7:24 – Why “preset forward” solves the common problem of getting stuck back
8:14 – Try it: all weight forward, no shift, and swing from the inside
9:51 – Driver twist: hips more forward to create proper tilt (not leaning back)
10:45 – Why “more speed” is useless if contact/face/path get worse
12:49 – Easy draw pattern: hips forward creates room to swing inside-out
14:30 – Eric’s full wrench driver: high push-draw and no distance loss
15:06 – Biggest takeaway: lower center forward WITHOUT upper diving forward

This video breaks down why weight shift is overrated for distance, and how most golfers misunderstand “weight forward.” You’ll learn the wrench drill golf setup (pelvis forward, rotate around it) to improve low-point control, make contact more predictable, and create speed through angular momentum — a simpler, more repeatable no weight shift golf swing approach that can work with irons and driver.

What you’ll learn
• Why weight shift isn’t the main source of distance in a golf swing
• The real purpose of “weight forward” in stack and tilt golf (low point control)
• The #1 mistake golfers make: moving upper + lower centers forward together
• The wrench drill golf setup: pelvis forward, rotate around the lead side
• A simple checkpoint: belt buckle ahead of sternum (create 5–10° tilt)
• Why “preset forward” often improves contact, path, and draw bias
• How this applies to driver: hips forward creates tilt without leaning back
