Are you struggling with your golf swing, feeling like it’s too armsy or lacking power? You’re not alone—many golfers experience the same issues, and it often comes down to one key mistake in the takeaway. In this video, I break down a critical move that most golfers overlook—a subtle yet powerful lateral shift that sets the foundation for a more efficient and powerful swing.

Many golfers mistakenly initiate their swing with too much rotation, turning around their spine or over-rotating in an effort to generate more power. But as I’ll show you, true power and consistency come from properly using ground forces, starting with a simple pressure shift that engages your lower body right from the start.

Watch as I demonstrate the correct sequence using a pressure board, helping you visualize and feel the right way to load your trail leg during the backswing. This small adjustment can lead to a massive improvement in how you initiate your swing, transition into the downswing, and ultimately, how you strike the ball.

By mastering this initial move, you’ll find yourself able to generate more force, better control, and a more consistent ball flight. If you’ve been struggling with overturning or feel like you’re swinging too flat, this video is exactly what you need. Tune in, try the drills, and take your swing to the next level!

**Key Takeaways:**
– The importance of a subtle lateral shift in the takeaway.
– How to avoid over-rotating and flattening your swing.
– Simple drills to integrate this move into your swing for better power and consistency.

  1. Hi Zach. Your videos are always clear and helpful and usually confirm what I know or remind me of things I've forgotten. I discovered the key of gently moving weight to my trail foot at the beginning of the takeaway through painful trial and error. My golf swing becomes very comfortable when I do this. When I started learning the game in 1964 there were no online videos because there was no internet. How much easier would my journey have been if you'd been posting videos and offering instructional programs then? I literally dug it out of the dirt because my Dad didn't want to pay for private lessons. A lot of time and effort, but a labor of love. For people learning a proper golf swing today, they can't go wrong with Zach Allen.

  2. I've done this in my swing, and I can attest to its effectiveness. I hit the ball so much longer and straighter when I do this properly.
