How to distribute your "Weight" at Setup in the Golf Swing

The weight at setup is critical. The misconception of having your weight on the balls of your feet is a compensation to correct another problem.

The correct weight distribution is just like that of a quarterback or any other athlete—“athletic.” What I mean by this is straight down, as if you were guarding someone in basketball or were a quarterback ready to have the ball hiked to you. Your legs are ready and balanced, and you could move in any direction.

If you set up out of balance—with your weight on the balls of your feet—your body will try to “right” itself during the swing, and you will be moving all over, trying to center yourself.

If you set up in balance, you will not have to make this adjustment during the swing. You will be much more consistent, with one less compensation to worry about. Also, gravity will keep you centered and in place.
