Daniel talks about the importance of your weight distribution at the address position and how it has a material effect throughout your swing.

Why It Works

Improved Contact: Weight forward promotes a descending blow into the ball, which is crucial for clean, crisp contact. This helps you compress the ball, generating more power and control.

Reduced Fat Shots: With your weight forward, you're less likely to hit the ground behind the ball, minimizing those dreaded fat shots that rob you of distance and accuracy.

Better Ball Flight: Weight forward encourages a higher launch angle and a more penetrating ball flight, leading to greater distance and better stopping power on the greens.

Increased Swing Speed: By shifting your weight forward during the downswing, you can create more momentum and generate greater clubhead speed, resulting in longer shots.

Enhanced Consistency: A forward weight distribution helps you create a more stable base, leading to a more consistent and repeatable swing.
