I think it is obvious to any golfer that you mean to shift your weight from your lead foot and side to your trail side and then back to your lead side. This issue is it is not easy to do, and most of us don’t have swing coaches to help us make the correct weight shift and turn. Well, there is a training aid that can give you immediate feedback.
The company is Down Shift Golf, and they have an amazing golf training aid called The Down Shift Pressure Board. The Down Shift Board gives you immediate feedback on your weight shift. The Down Shift Board can be used anywhere, indoors on a mat, outdoors at the range, or in your backyard. They do suggest not using it on indoor carpet or indoor flooring as it could cause damage to the floor.
Here is some info from Down Shift Golf about their Down Shift Board…
- Create Power Effortlessly: Effortless Power > Powerless Effort Create effortless power by shifting pressure and weight at the correct time
- Real Time Feedback: See your pressure and weight shifts instead of guessing. Knowing if and when you shift is critical to using the powerful clean strikes that utilize linear forces
- Train Anywhere: Teaching the feet and lower body how to react doesn’t require hitting a ball or swinging a club. Learning the movement first without a ball or club makes transferring the movement to the swing 10X easier. Indoors, Outdoors, with or without a club or ball, the choice is yours
- Functional Power and Speed: Improper sequencing does not allow for an efficient strike on the ball. Using the Downshift Board teaches you to start the swing from the ground up to allow for a better Kinematic and Kinetic Sequence. Translation: Effortless Power > Powerless Effort
- Support: 2 Year Warranty, 45 day return policy
I have been using The Down Shift Golf Pressure Board for over a month, and it has made a huge difference in my weight shift. I spend time really making sure I am starting on my lead side, then transferring weight on my backswing, and then again to my lead side. I believe it’s the repetition that makes the board so helpful. It ingrains the proper sequencing of your weight shifts and over time it is becoming second nature to me.
Bottom line, The Down Shift Golf Pressure Board is an excellent training aid. If you use it on an ongoing basis, you will learn the proper weight shift, learn how to use the ground better, and improve your game. It’s not an overnight fix, no training aid is, however, you will understand almost immediately where you need to focus on. I’m a fan of the Down Shift Pressure Board! I feel confident using it to finally learn how to shift and transfer my weight properly using the ground will improve my golf game much quicker.
