Over my 15 years of teaching, I've come to many definitive conclusions. One of those is what I consider the NUMBER 1 PROBLEM in most amateur golf swings: poor weight shift in the downswing.
The weight shift back to the lead side is so critical in allowing the downswing sequence to unfold in the proper order. This sequencing lets you take advantage of the stored energy created during the backswing.
Unfortunately, most amateurs don't have a clue how much to shift or exactly HOW to shift, and in this video and article, I show you exactly how to do it like the best in the world.

In the image above on the left, I've drawn two lines that represent the center of Greg's hip sockets (roughly) at the top of his backswing.
At impact, you can see that his trail hip has replaced where his lead hip was at the top of the backswing almost exactly. In other words, Greg has shifted laterally toward the target an amount equivalent to the entire width of his pelvis. This is the kind of lateral hip shift that separates powerful ball-strikers from amateurs.
