How To Shift Weight & Pressure Like A Pro! 🏌️♂️

- In today's video, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb of Athletic Motion Golf show you EXACTLY how and WHY to SHIFT weight & pressure like the PROS.
This video may shock you, to say the least, because Mike and Shaun's PROOF of what really happens in the swing is probably different from what you’ve heard from other sources who don’t measure the swing…in fact, it may even contradict them.
We want you to have the most accurate information on the golf swing, that's why, here at AMG, we ALWAYS (and I mean ALWAYS) provide PROOF and DATA to back up our instruction. Theory is not a substitute for data when DATA isn't available.
We have tens of millions of data points of what the best players in the world do and love sharing it all to help you play your best golf!

I never understood the weight shift concept properly but the taking weight off one foot to add weight to the other just made something click in my brain and I can’t wait to go to the range now.
The weight shift is a dangerous shift because it can only be passive. You can't use weight shift to trigger your downswing etc unless everything else is aligned. Even pros struggle to get that in sync. Better off trying to feel the clubface in your hands through the swing.
When I 1st started I was overwhelmed and intimidated by these AMG videos. Now that I’ve had time under my belt and lessons this information make more sense and it easily applied to my swing for huge levels progress. I love this channel so much it’s insane.
Thank you so much!!!!

Starting at zero, the golf swing is insanely complex. Once you have a basic, functional swing these videos provide targeted tweaks. They are quite helpful.

@@AthleticMotionGolf Hey guys great job. But I have a good question. if the weight is on the front foot before the downswing starts, why not just stay on the front foot the whole time ? Like stack and tilt. Appreciate all the work you do.
I've been looking for a channel JUST LIKE THIS! You guys give real reasons for why we do things and logical reasons and examples of what we need to do. Perfect. I've felt this athletic motion with my woods but just couldn't get it in my driver swing. Too slow, missing the athleticism. Yesterday for the first time I was finding it after watching your videos. Consistently hitting my driver 20 yards longer. And I didn't wear out like I used to wear out. Played 2.5 rounds in the sim and my last drive was still 250 as opposed to the 220 it used to be, on a good day. Now I want to find someone local who can wire me up and keep moving forward. Thank you!
This is a Masterclass in the golf swing Guys! You've outdone yourselves again!
Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻
Best way iv heard this explained period! I love the game of golf and struggled with this aspect since day one! Thanks taking the time to explain things in AMAZING DETAIL!
I love your analysis....it all makes so much sense, and I'm looking forward to trying to incorporate these concepts into my swing!
This video just helped me figure out where I’ve been going wrong for the last 20 years. Completely changed how I view the swing. Thank you so much.
I agree they are the best, this concept of lifting the trail foot to transfer weight, not pushing off, is amazing, and so helpful. thanks guys, for emphasizing this.
The best layman pressure shift video/explanation on the web bar none! Many high profile instructors & profs love to show off their knowledge by being overly complex explaining their knowledge of the software. This video was gold and has helped to transform my swing. I knew I needed enhanced pressure but was getting there late on the backswing and of course then I couldn't get enough pressure left at P5. Thanks so much!
Man this video could not have come at a better time. Thank you as always!!! 🙏
I have had hundreds of lessons w a variety of coaches, 2 of which were and are still world class, high profile coaches! I’ve watched your videos for at least 20 hours now and in my living room and then to the driving range changing my swing for the first time in 40 years. In your videos, a common theme that is the game changer, is the miss conception and preconceived conclusions that we then go and practice, that you are helping change those swing thoughts. I have spent thousands of hours rewinding the best golfers in the world swings frame by frame trying to emulate, finally learning how I have wasted an embarrassing amount of time! Thank you
I just use Golferroulette to mimic the best players. Much better than using video and completely changed my swing w immediate a ha moments
Thanks for this Shaun. I’ve been working on this concept and I absolutely love where it’s headed. You and Mike are so consistent in your instruction, and your use of evidence sets you apart. Thanks for what you do :)
We appreciate the kind words!
This is the best video on weight, pressure and the swing anywhere! wish I knew this 10years ago. Thanks Mike -Sean you guys are the best.
Your video definitely earns my like. Top top analysis on weight transfer and correct all the misconceptions I have in the past.
I've seen a million golf advice videos, and this is the most important one by far
Thanks again gentlemen. Your videos are the most informative on TH-cam.
This is one of the best videos you have done and the weight transferring was explained very well. And the knee measuring throughout the swing is excellent. Thanks for the info.
This is pure gem! I like that trigger move on swing. I need to try this tonight on the range. Thank you gents! Cheers!
I've been doing some research on weight distribution in the golf swing for quite a while and this video literally answered so many questions. You guys are the best !
Thank you!!!
Absolutely golden! Thanx a lot, very helpful!
This makes hitting a golf ball infinitely easier. I was always trying to slow down at the top so I had time to shift forward, but with these concepts I don’t need to think about timing and can swing as hard as I like and still hit it solid and straight. Thanks so much!!
👍🏻👍🏻🏌🏿♂️
Your channel is by far head and shoulder above any other channel I've seen. For me the best way to describe it is that your use of the motion capture and 3D rendering allows me to see reals as apposed to feels. Hearing someone explain something is one thing but physically seeing the motions and movements allows me to visualise the instruction in a way I've never been able to previously. Your pro Vs am series is phenomenal and watching your channel combined with looking at my own swing, my old swing and a swing I'd like to imitate as well as your mocaps has got me striking the ball cleaner than I ever have. Thank you
I am a mid single digit handicapper who just started playing again after a couple years. The reason I stopped was because I wasn't happy with how I was playing.
Great video, this is something I have been struggling with for a while. This simplifies the process and makes it easier to understand. Thanks guys.
Glad it helped.!
By far the best I gave ever heard this explained. great job guys...
This one video changed my golf swing forever...thanks a million guys .
Just found this channel and this is amazing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you and welcome!
Great explanations. Thanks. Like the trigger move on the start.
this was an amazing aha moment after watching this and hitting 200 balls and a playing a full round of golf. i tried that dynamic trigger move (which for me is more of a forward press) and everything else was just set in motion. like effortless and more natural instead of rigid and mechanical with no flow. data doesn't lie! great job guys!
This is by far the best content when it comes to "golf improvement" on TH-cam.
That is crazy!!! You described my swing to a tee! I almost step out with my left foot and therefore weight is very much on my back foot at that moment. I never even realized that! Wow....I have to rebuild my swing....AGAIN!!! I was pushing HARD with my right/trail leg! And yet what you describe is in fact, what I see in pros.
Starting the season off by revisiting this video. Game changer. I’m sure I’ll watch this video each spring. Thankyou. Golf in Calgary is so short that I don’t have time to mess this up for a few weeks.
the most awesome video and talk-through i've seen !
Wow… that jump analogy just unlocked something. Brilliant!
I’ve been subscribed to AMG for several years and have just watched this video from start to finish several times to try to hopefully understand all the information - it’s been a light bulb
‘Ah-ha’ experience as I’ve been pushing to transfer weight rather than ‘lifting’ to move pressure - also the movement of the knees was a bit of a revelation. It’s given me some ideas to incorporate into my practice - thanks for another excellent video.
Wow, the best explanation of how to move correctly in your golf swing.
Having the correct information is the only way to start an effective instruction. Getting a sensible explanation allows us to incorporate that information appropriately. All the AMG videos fall into this category and are always useful and applicable because they deal with fundamental principles of (golf swing) movement and are not "quick fixes". Thanks Mike and Shaun for sharing so freely such great teachings about how to improve our performance, it is much appreciated.
Awesome! We’re glad it’s helping. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻💯
Great info guys! Very well illustrated and explained as always. You rock guys 🤟🏼
🙏💯
This is the best video I've ever watched explaining weight shift/pressure shift. I was under the impression had to shift mass and was constantly hitting behind the ball with an open face. What a difference this video made. Thanks
So glad it helped 👍🏻🏌🏿♂️
I was looking at the tilt and stack method swing when i came across this. The que at the beginning that was displayed help me with the weight shift immensely in practice swings. I was not getting very consistent "skim contact" with my mat but with this I am now. I will need to test this out at the range. My main issue right now is consistent contact, I typically thin or top the ball. I will sometimes get a solid hit and a small divot. But not often on the course, but i can get into a good Rythm at times on the range. Hopefully this will be the nail in the coffin for me! and get me golfing better!
Fantastic explanation of what is surely the magic move of golf - really excellent content guys
You’re amazing!! I really enjoy your videos!
Your content is genuinely amazing !
The swing is such a tough game and can get tougher the harder you look when your looking in the wrong direction or with the wrong focus. So it’s essential to have a clear language and clear idea in order to progress. Your excellent content is the clearest I have come across online or in lessons.
I really wished I lived closer!
Thank you for the excellent content and dedication to clarity
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻
Great with actionable insights…awesome Shaun and Mike…thanks!
🙏🏻💯
You guys make such good content. Any golf player should have your information about weight shift. And specifically your advise on dynamic start of the golf swing. Thanks!!
Great video guys.....struggling with a consistent swing and this will help!
Very informative, thank you.
That was the best explanation of shifting weight I’ve ever seen. Especially where you spoke about putting all your weight on the left side but were pressing with the right foot. Game changer
More Amazing information. I always look forward to watching your content. What makes the AMG different, is you are speaking about the golf swing based on fact, backed up by real data that can only be seen and recognized via 3-D, where a lot of the content out there is just “guessing”.
Keep the video’s coming👍
Thanks for the kind words! Keep that progress rolling👊
Your videos just get better and better. Amazing work. Thank you. Literally set a reminder on my phone to watch this video once daily in the morning.
Love it! Let us know what else we can cover to help out your game 👊🤓
@@AthleticMotionGolf I need a sports psychologist to manage my total meltdowns throughout rounds.
Awesome video!! #3 was a game changer.
Amazing explanation. Thanks!
Game-changing content! I spent a year with different coach teaching me one of those wrong concepts and it was wreaking havoc on my swing. Thankfully, for the past year, I have been reprogramming this with the help of AMG+ content and coaching, including a completely different way of practicing. For those of you out there who are addicted to this channel and are not in AMG+, you are missing out.
Thanks for the kind words, brother 🙏
Love those analogies. So well done, excellent explanations and rationale, what's not to love about this channel.
Thank you!!!!!!
Excellent work. You are providing some very useful analysis. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching 👊😊
Wow, guys, amazing video! I am an AMG+ member, and I've been working with you on iLessons and working my way through the Swing System. I've made great progress so far but still hadn't been able to figure out why my left knee "wheeled out" and my heel pivoted around my toes as Shaun demonstrates here, until you mentioned this on your podcast the other day. I wasn't intentionally trying to spread my knees, but this seems to be happening nonetheless, perhaps from just having too much pressure on my trail foot for too long. I have a Sheftic pressure board and have been working with that, and I think this video will really help my poor brain grasp these concepts. Thanks for continuing to share this great information!
Great!!!
One of the best videos you, AMG, have created, and probably the best golf video on the pressure topic. Well done and thanks.
Thank you!
I am a 2 handicap who hits a pretty big drive yet my mates who dont hit that as far always hit their same irons further than me because I dont use ground force at all. I have had a couple lessons with a couple different coaches but from watching this video I can see that I am definitely a guy who push off his back leg to get forward momentum instead of taking the pressure of that leg. Cannot wait to try it out properly at the range but it feels just right. Thankyou!
Putting all the weight and pressure shift myths to bed, coupled with outstanding analysis. I also love the debunking of that crazy, signature George Gankas move (without ever mentioning his name). Very well done. Once again, this video is evidence why AMG has the best golf instructional content on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing. 👊👊
Yeah I literally watched his videos the other day and then saw this. It's the exact opposite, haha.
The pros at AMG continue to give us GOLD! Rewatch this video and start to reboot your concepts about how to develop speed. I have been enjoying progress with AMG throughout this year. It was very difficult for me to play tournaments and play and practice 3 days in a row due to hip pain from launching through the ball. The Weight and Pressure Series and the Speed System has me playing nearly pain free as I have reduced the Slide and replaced it with a Turn and Burn!
Turn and Burn Baby! That launch through the ball is a back/hip killer. Glad to hear you're enjoying the System🙌
So I've been continuing to work on this and in my studies, ran across the George Knudson book. He was so all over this topic. The perspective I now have is this: the goal is to create a stable impact position. Can't do that if we're moving though that point, something you guys have said over and over. George said that we need to get 75% of our weight/pressure on the right side. If I'm starting at 50/50 before my initial left foot pressure to get the swing started then I'm only really moving 25% of my weight/pressure to my right foot before I head back to the left while still turning. That ain't a lot of pressure going back. It's like I feel a slight increase in pressure in my right foot then I'm headed back to the left for impact stability. It's very slight and subtle pressure increase. George also said the quicker he was able to transfer his pressure, the better he hit it. I have I very slight roll on my right foot due to the knee moving laterally too much and this thought has reduced it to being almost imperceptible at full speed. I can see it on slow motion though. Hitting it very consistently.
This content is unreal guys! So clear and easy to understand with the visuals.
Awesome, we hope it helps!
@@AthleticMotionGolf I can say I've been an AMG+ member, content consumer, and seen Mike and Shaun in person, there's no one better for your game
Excellent analysis!! Now I have to work on it! Thanks guys!!
Thank you. Get to work 😄
Great video, one of the most important moves in the golfswing very well explained.
In teaching, such an analytical take is good for just a few, though. I guess. And to differentiate weight from pressure is pretty difficult for most, i assume. The task is to find a "feeling" or a picture for a student that leads to the desired positions first (before technical explanations). Ironically i had this move instinctively when i started with golf 3 decades ago - my pro told me too much shift. But we parted anyways because his explanation wasn't sufficient to me. I was always very analytical too, but tools to prove were poor back then. Glad to have found your channell where everything makes so much sense to me - very affirmative information and then also some new stuff for me.
Nailed it. 🔥
Terrific analyses!! I especially like the idea of having a trigger to initiate the backswing. The two players who immediately come to mind with respect to that move are Gary Player and Henrik Stenson. Simple athleticism is a big part of this. For those who are born athletic, they don’t even think twice about it, it just comes naturally. For most recreational golfers, on the other hand, it takes a lot of concentration and practice to be able to consistently incorporate this into their golf swing. That said, if they are able to do it, it’s a game changer.
Great stuff as always by the AMG guys!!!
🙏👊
Smashing content, the pressure shift is definitely something you can practice without a ball as well 👌🏻
Absolutely! No ball needed to get better with your shift👊😊
Hands down, best golf channel on TH-cam. Show me the data!
This is great. I like how AMG focuses on recentering and this has been game changing for me, but this video really crystalized my understanding.
Great!!!!!!
By far the beat video of yours I have seen so far. You nailed it.
Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
Good video ! Thanks Coaches
How I didn’t get this channel sooner but glad I’m here, I thought I was a good ball striker/golfer hitting my 7 iron 160-165 yds, took these lessons put some time in and now hitting my 7 iron 185-190 - now I’m hitting my 5 iron where I was using 3 hybrid before. Just unreal instruction and what a great way to make these lessons relatable
funny I thought it was where it ended up that mattered
下桿時，重量在後，然使壓力在前。巧妙的操作，真棒！謝謝您！😍
Fantastic vid guys. Well done. Thank you
Thank you!
Forgot to say , fantastic video , totally upto date with current teaching principles . We'll done guys for keeping your fingers on the pulse
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻🏌🏿♂️
Excellent explanation of weight vs pressure . Good job .
Thank you!!!!!!
Been playing for 25 plus yrs.. still learning new stuff in this channel. Amazing one of the best coaches in my opinion 👏
Thank you for the kind words

The video on “How to shift weight and pressure like a pro” is a game changer for me. In an attempt to “shift weight” to the back leg on the backswing and push off the back leg vigorously to get the weight on the front leg and post up, I actually set myself up for failure. The video shows how pushing off the back leg adds pressure to that leg. As a result I am late with the pressure shift, hang back on the back leg and hit high blocked shots.
On the range I worked on this with the primary thought of lightening the weight on the back foot in transition and not pushing off that foot. In the downswing I was able to move my weight and pressure forward to the front leg and foot, resulting in NO blocked shots. My typical shot pattern was a nice, controlled fade. I can’t wait to take this to the course, as soon as the rain and flooding is over here in Texas.
Love hearing this is helping. Stay safe and dry down there!
My miss is the 30 yard push , I hope this helps me too
Fantastic. again. Thanks!
I remember your podcast that was the audio version of this video, i also distinctly remember the “ah-ha” moment i had when i FINALLY understood the pressure vs weight shift. Great stuff as always Gents
Thank you!!!!
Fantastic stuff. Really eye-opening deep dive. Bravo. I would love to see pros versus ams on this force plate.
Question: you mentioned pushing down increases pressure. Do you see the left leg actively pushing down to generate pressure? Or do you see the left leg simply accepting the overall pressure of the body as the right side lightens up?
Great question. The answer is both. Pushing down can increase the ground forces under that foot.
Hi guys - always great content. My apologies if already covered. I have been focusing on follow through - have you run the numbers on degree of hip and should turn at finish? Not seeing a lot on it on the web, but every top professional looks turned well left or past target at finish. Thanks!
Awesome explanation on weight shifting.
Great video!! "Lightening one foot puts pressure into the opposite foot" is a gamechanger for my swing. My weight transfer and rotation were never quite right or coordinated. I'd end up with some weight on my trail foot, or would slide too far to the left to transfer weight. I tried Stack and Tilt, even swinging with my feet and knees together or just standing on my left foot. But I could never really coordinate the weight transfer with proper rotation and swing path. Your comment about lightening the left foot, which I would start doing as I reached the top of my backswing, worked! Everything fell into place. Thanks! (Loved the pressure plate arrows.)
That’s awesome! Glad to hear it helped 👊
… I meant lightening the right foot, not the left…
@@alnickerson2525 ya got me wondering for a sec…
A really nice guy named Steve put me on y’all at Highland in Bham. Your videos are having an impact. Thanks for the service.
2:05 Resonates quite a bit for me just based off feeling. I also can feel that "hip launch" that Shaun mentions happen. I've been contemplating my swing lately as I also feel that I don't rotate on the downswing enough and feel like I'm stalling and letting the golf club momentum finish my turn if that makes sense.
It makes complete sense
Fair play to the guys at AMG.
Most advice from pros (tour pros or teaching pros) is based on their feels. And if I have learned one thing it’s that feel can be very misleading.
That’s why these objective, evidence led tutorials are so valuable. The advice may or may not work for an individual, but you can’t argue with the accuracy of the information. Good work guys
I have been to see Mike in Carterville and had one of the best golf days of my life- what Mike talks about works
I can’t wait to go back
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I discovered the same trigger to start my swing on the range recently. It was total game changer.
Great job guys thanks
This channel is literally THE BEST THING next to having a tour pro top 10 golfing coach. I've gone from a 50 handicap to a scratch golfer in just 5 videos. Thanks Athletic Motion Golf! You guys rock!
haha all jokes aside, I was serious about this channel being by far #1 on any platform akin to having a tour pro top ten golfing coach. The way yous guys explain, use 3D rendering, and show the Pro vs Ams has been a game changer. Can't believe yous guys don't have over 1 million subs already. All those suckers who we all know need this kind of help are just out there in the looking glass watching Good Good Labs for tips. lol, honestly no hate to the Good Good squad. They are pretty legit. Love their content but love even more that yous guys are doing what you are doing. Please don't stop.
Do yous guys do private coaching remotely by any chance? If so, and you do respond, I'll drop my IG profile link so you can message me details. Thanks again for the work that goes into all your videos. The quality and take away are priceless in my book.
Cheers mate
Can we quote “50 to scratch in 5?” 😂
Sure man, DM us over on IG👍
Yes sir.
Thanks
I like the pre shift to the right to start the swing, so you won't to have much weight on your back foot and pressure shifts to the lead foot and leg and hip is turning to the left out of the way to let the arms come through naturally. Being 77 I tried this on the course this week and it worked, it's work in progress and when I when I start low, smooth and slow on the takeaway it works, will keep the practice drills as I am watching golf on tv. Great work as always
Awesome job 👏
Thank you so much for this. Question: Does the same principle apply to the driver swing? There’s more tilt at address and the feet are wider apart - so from takeaway to the top of my backswing, I feel that I’m staying “forever” on my trail leg simply because the arc of the swing going back is wider; plus I turn my shoulders like crazy at the top of my backswing that I feel so lost and stuck at initiating the downswing. I’m trying to apply the same principle of taking pressure off the trail leg (iron swing is not a problem), but it’s either I’m not putting a lot of pressure to the lead leg or it’s a timing issue. Or third, I’m lost with the hand path, too, in all the mix.
Possibly the best golf video I've seen, light bulb moment for me 👍
AMG dudes, this is 1 of 3 videos that really helped me improve my ball striking. It really made me think. You guys talked about making the trail foot lighter to increase the weight shift to the lead foot/leg. This was a light bulb 💡 moment for me. Now I am hitting the ball better with less scooping. Thank You.
Awesome job! 👏. The standard is 3% of all on-course winnings… we do accept Venmo or 🌮🌮🌮 as payment 😜
James did you start getting your hell off the ground earlier as well? That’s something i noticed pros do that i wasn’t. My heel was hardly off the ground at impact Xander is all the way on the tip of his toe at impact.
Great video guys Very insightful
Thank you so much
This is going to take a few viewings because there is just so much GREAT information here Guys. Mike and Shaun hit another 'home run'. Thanks Guys. I wish I lived closer, but fortunately GEARS told me there are several in the UK and I'm going tomorrow to for a session. The Coach (Owen) told me on the phone, 'once you've had this, you'll never think or swing the same again'. Here's hoping.
haha Coach Owen is right!
Fantastic video showed me a lot about weight transfer
Love it!
Great video, maybe follow up with a downshift board for some drills
