- Weight vs Pressure
Should you shift you WEIGHT or PRESSURE in the golf swing? These terms are often used interchangeably, but are actually very different things.
If you’re struggling to understand the difference between weight and pressure, this video will help you to do just that.
The importance of keeping your weight forward in the golf swing cannot be overstated. The best players in the world are not shifting their weight around chaotically in an attempt to add more speed to their swing. The best players understand that consistent contact and good low-point control are the true fundamentals to becoming an expert golfer. This is the foundation that ALL good golf is built from.
The PRESSURE PLATE from WHY GOLF is a training aid which helps you to understand the differences between WEIGHT SHIFT and PRESSURE SHIFT and helps you to practice in a way that will help you develop the correct pivot and weight shift in the swing leading to improved contact and better consistency.
With the help of GOLFTEC’s OptiMotion 3D motion measurement, I will show you how the PGA and LPGA tour averages fall very much into the pattern of “weight forward”, rather than “weight back”.

I just purchased the plate and glad to find an instructor who is using the plate without tipping or moving the plate to the trail side. Thank you for this instruction!
Thanks Rob - great analysis. Love your detailed explanations
Outstanding explanation of how pressure and weight is used in the golf swing. I just bought the pressure plate and I can’t wait to start my training using your method.
how has it gone ?
I've always swayed off the center point, and I have been trying to turn and then shift forward. This video confirms to me that I need to give myself a head start and stay forward at the beginning. Excellent job Rob!!
Wonderful spot on...well put and done Sir
Thank you so much for providing such a great lesson
Another great video Rob! Easy to understand and well explained.
Great Vid Rob and totally spot on !!!
Thanks a lot for your excellent trainging videos, Rob. I play golf for 1+ year now and it's "surprising" how many golf instructures tell you to shift your weight around. Luckily I found your videos and the stack & tilt concept helped me to get more consistent quickly. You deliver your explanations at the right speed and detail, without slang and clear voyce. Big fan of your channel, thanks again for doing it 🤩!
Hi Rob, love the comparison video. I have always struggled with this and ST has improved my ball striking by focusing on the weight forward key putting my club in a better position at top and impact. Your example shows the 2 major faults I encountered when my weight went to my trail leg; 1. over-extended back swing, look at the position of you club at top of swing, 2. shaft lean at impact, although not a lot of varrience in the video it looked like you really had to work harder to get there when your weight went to your trail leg. Thanks for another great lesson.
Excellent video, explained perfectly. Can’t wait to implement the board into my practice sessions. Thanks
thank you for sharing your thoughts on this aid
Very good Now I've got it... Thanks Rod
Thank you for reviewing this training aid. It has been invaluable in helping me get forward properly in conjunction with my sessions at golftech ft Lauderdale! Great aid!
I went to CHENEY Highschool in CHENEY Washington now enjoying CHENEY Golf ⛳
Great explanation. Thank you.
This is a brilliant explanation and puts me in the right mindset.
Rob, great video. This looks like a really good training aid. There is another similar product out there but this one looks like it might be better. I actually tried to make something like the other one using wood. The basic design has one additional piece of wood running down the center that adds the rocking feature. The problem I found using it was it wasn’t that stable. It would tend to twist or spin as you completed the shot. This one looks like it has two areas that provide the rocking feature and small spikes that would help secure it to the ground. Have you tried this on grass and find it to be stable? Thanks for all the great instruction.
Hi Rob, this video is gold, makes a lot of sense, although I do have one query, does this concept change at all with a driver considering your tilted and hitting up on the ball? If so, how?
Awesome video. Thanks for the clarification. Im just getting back into the game after years away. Im learning that what I learned years ago was hogwash and totally wrong with what i was taught before i left the game
Excelente Master!!!
Fuerte abrazo 😊
You changed my golfing life, excellent advice!
As usual: Clear and easy advice from you Rob!
Thanks!

Finally someone explains it. Great video
Regarding the wrench drill, ive done similar standing on just the front leg while hitting balls
The prop drill! Thanks for addressing the "surf/drift" at about 7:45 that so many RUclips instructors are mentioning. Now I'd love to hear your thoughts on the initial push into the ground and how that might affect Early Extension. My theory is that an early extender raises the butt end of the club early or the lead shoulder pops up too soon because of a concern that the shaft isn't shallowing as they push into the ground on the downswing. Perhaps this is due to too much hip slide vs shoulder turn. I'll turn off these swing thoughts one of these days. :-)
Thanks Rob, I’ve always enjoyed your clear plain explanations as they don’t permit much of a variance in interpretation. We should all begin our learning of the golf swing with the understanding that weight shift to the trail side is a myth in the modern swing. In fact, that would be a good title for a video. I also feel that weight forward and target side movement in the downswing is what largely permits a bowed lead wrist at impact to occur more naturally. #Stackapore
Very interesting. I have just ordered a pressure plate.
Thanks!
Excellent!
Excellent practical content - tried the discount code and it didn't work though (perhaps to do with the company). In any case excellent job Rob!
I know you’re right and it makes sense, still hard to get more weight forward during the swing. No problem in practice swing though…
Mental game n’est-ce pas.
Thanks
Ballard literature from ‘80’s was very confusing & counter to your very logical presentation. Great swings always finish w poetic balance! Lesser athletes as I appreciate that!
Hi Rob
I find it very difficult to keep all my weight forward but I have been playing a long while. If your weight transfers a little bit does it matter provided you have the weight on the lead side at impact?
Hi Rob. Hope you're well. I'm a bit of a stack n tilt nerd. I've seen some of the pros and instructors that conform to SnT talk about putting the brakes on. But I can't find any videos on this. Can you help or point me in the right direction. Nearest I can get is hit hard and stop quick
Watch an old video of Calvin Pete, he moves his head at least 6 inches. Same with Rocco Mediate. I think this weight vs pressure is just confusing the average golfer.
The best!!
I am right handed, my right hip is anatomically higher than my left hip, do you think in this situation that the stack and tilt methodology is a better fit vs conventional. As I have always sort of had a Curtis Strange move off the ball from address because I could not turn that well in my hips- thoughts? Thx
It’s funny you posted this today, I’ve been trying to fix this exact issue for the last few days. My problem seemed to be my left knee(right handed golfer), it would move way too much towards the right knee on the back swing causing me to tilt over and not allowing that left knee to move outwards in time. That being said, if you have any tips on when that lead knee should start rotating (currently im trying to feel that left knee start turning milliseconds before I reach the top of the backswing)
@@golftecasia any tips on how the lead knee should ideally move in the swing would be great 👍🏼
@@golftecasia I’m 6ft tall with extremely long arms so flaring both feet would cause me to yes have a bigger turn however the longer arc is nuts to control, I already have tour average swing speed so keeping at least my right foot more square allows me to feel more compact, but I am now implementing a more Flared lead foot to allow that problem knee to start rotating properly. I’ll circle back and let you know how it’s going…but thank you for the great work you’re doing. Only problem with those two videos you linked is that it’s primary focused on the trail leg, where my issue has never been the trail leg 🤷🏻♂️
I fixed it. 🙏ruclips.net/user/shortsysQcV0aOZmY?feature=share
Not bad for picking up the game two years ago 🫡🤷🏻♂️
Does it feel like you're falling forward to start the DS?
Brilliant Rob! I noticed this was the key component in hitting further as it allowed my hands to be more in front and not square at impact.
Hi Rob! Doesn't this train you for fat shots since it sits higher off the ground?
😎Say you start with a 50-50 weight distribution and a right handed swing. When you swing your arms and the club from center to right side extension you automatically have more weight on your right foot. Your arms weigh something and the club is a weight at the end of the lever that is your arms.
Then you shift your torso several inches to the left. When you return the club to the ball your weight will be more on the left and your follow through will put almost all the weight on your left foot.
i.e. you don't need to concern yourself with creating a weight shift.
@@golftecasia Still. Your right shoulder and hip has moved closer to the target during the backswing. If you do this in slowmotion you Will feel a Weight increase on your front leg IF you’re centered during BS not Moving the centers all over the place.
hi don't see the link for the plate
I love the content for sure. The price of $129.00 for the plate is way out of line. It is made through a plastic injection mold. This are very cheap to make so it is over priced. Love the video.
4:58 I can hear the screams of 'but stroked gained' from the science crowd who's never played in a tourney with a pencil and scorecard in their back pocket . bravo Rob
Can my weight be 50/50 if I stay centered and don't shift the weight in the back swing? I have been struggling with low hooks with weight forward.
@@golftecasia thanks Rob!
Now I've gone back and am watching video... thanks sorry for the misunderstanding Keep the good stuff coming
mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity.
Arms and club move from center to our right and then to the left of our center.
Arms weigh as much as 20-30 pounds each. Think three or four 10 pound bags of potatoes
being moved to our right then to our left. In order to maintain balance our autonomic balance system
has to compensate for the movement of our arms.
So it is the weight of the arms that is cause of our need to maintain COG to remain upright... the primary
job of our balance system.. due to evolution.. nothing to do with golf swing.
@@golftecasia Read all about it in the "Hogan Manual of Human Performance: GOLF, Gerry Hogan, 1991. The only golf instructor I am aware of who not only figured out the golf swing but how the human physiology and genetics affect how we understand and learn the unnatural movement we call golf swing.
Evidently it was a POD cast .... but I imagine I'm not the only that came away confused from this video
👍🇭🇰✌️
Pressure plate performs just like a wii fit board
Interesting demonstration but you are not exactly correct! Your concept of pressure shifts is incorrect! The pressure at P3 should be 80/20 Trail-Foot/Lead-Foot and 50/50 at P4. That's the concept of Pressure Transition! Your's was late. BTW pressure should be 80/20 Lead-Foot/Trail-Foot at P6. Impact is too late!
BS! You have not understood the physical terms Center of Mass and Pressure. Get in contact with Athletic Motion Golf. They will explain it to you. Use a pressure plate.
WTF ? Did I miss something ?
Pressure against your mass is weight. Sorry. You’re wrong on this one. Basic physics class explains this
