Zach you are a knowledgeable instructor and effective communicator. I dont know of any better instructor after watching many youtube channels. The only pet peeve I have of late is use of the word "effortless" to describe a full golf swing. You said it once in the video. However I really liked that you later on said "sequenced." That is an essential aspect that results in an efficient swing. Thanks again for making and sharing your content. It is fantastic.
Great drill to feel how increased pressure across the entire foot will swing the club for you. I did this drill, shut my arms off and took it from small chips to full blown max effort drives, and never hit the ball straighter. Thanks!
I've always viewed the golf swing as a dance step. Footwork and the shifting of weight that goes with it are vitally important to a successful golf swing moving the body into proper positions to generate/store power, release that power into the golf ball and promote relaxation. Your modeling of proper footwork in this video -- especially with light grip pressure -- is a helpful visual image to show how natural and intuitive sequencing of the golf swing actually is if you relax and let it happen more than you try to make it happen.
This drill reminds me of the first drill in the Consistency Code, but instead of just swinging your belly, you're using that motion to swing the club. 👍🏽

You got it, I try to use more “sequenced” and less “effortless.” Thanks!

I totally agree very similar to a basic dance.

Good point, it's a variation of the same concept!
Thanks Zach, great ideas.
You are welcome!
During the golf swing are you continuously looking at the golf ball or are you focusing on a point 4 inches in front of the golf ball?
Good question!!!?
It is good to practice looking ahead of the ball. Both to take your mind off hitting the ball. A way to be out in front at impact.
Great vid!
Thanks buddy!
