And we see a lot of players at address, they might have a 50-50 weight distribution.

So if you set up to your golf ball there, we'll see that there is an equal amount of balance on that left and right foot.

But when you hit that shot, I didn't see that.

Just before you took that golf club away, something happened.

So definitely with irons, I like to feel just a fraction of bias on my lead side.

So that I can allow myself to shift that pressure into that trail foot.

Like I don't want to get myself cemented to the ground, stuck in this static position and then expect to be incredibly dynamic.

I want to be able to create some flow, allow a little pressure to move into this lead.

And then that trigger of shifting pressure, that's how I get started.

With driver, it's okay to have a 50-50 weight distribution because you can hit up on the ball because it's teed up.

But with irons, because we're trying to hit down, really what we do want to have is this kind of shift of pressure to the front foot.

You can start with a little bit of weight on the front foot.

Definitely helps you here throughout the motion to get that sort of downward strike.

And what Riggs is referring to here is about the trigger.

It's the feeling of getting the weight kind of starting onto the lead that allows you to push off into your trial foot.

And it really helps you stop being so robotic.

This is one of those things that when we see mid to high handicappers, it's very common that we'll see them over the golf ball for five seconds or more completely still.

And this is something that we never see with high level players.

Like we, if you look at the players on tour, we can see countless differences in their swings.

None of those guys are going to stand over the golf ball or girls stationary for five seconds.

That's the key stationary because there is a difference between being over the ball and getting prepared to hit, maybe having a waggle.

Some players do it too long, but they're never stationary.

And if you set up to that golf ball for me, and I want you to be stationary before you hit a shot.

Nothing felt like it was probably going to flow as well as it could.

It felt terrible to start my swing like that.

And what started to happen is my brain starts to work more.

If you want a free swing review, while I'm currently giving away personalized feedback to every single golfer inside my online community, players of all levels from around the globe, upload their swings.

And I send them back custom video breakdowns, showing them exactly what they need to work on next.

Click the link in the description for seven days of complete access, not only to the swing review, but also to every single one of my premium instructional videos, normally worth hundreds of dollars.

Go ahead and check it out and I can't wait to help you improve your game.

And this can start to give you that sort of paralysis by over analysis when you're over the ball.

And before you know it, you're vibrating like this because you don't know what to do.

I've got my thoughts on this, but I want to know what an easy way for players to start this swing is without overthinking where should my pressure be here, there, and so on and so forth.

One of my favorite ways of building this into a routine, which we'll eventually want on the golf course, is to get players to actually swing the club back and forth this way.

Like if I'm swinging and I'm not thinking any swing thoughts, what's going to happen here is my pressure is going to move into my trail side.

The club's going to then follow and catch up.

My pressure is going to move into my lead side.

And I'm just going to allow that pattern to basically repeat itself.

So into my left swing through into my right swing back my left through my right back.

Now the reason this is going to help is because when you've got two clubs, you have to really feel that your body is working a lot more, your left and your right side.

So to do that, you're going to have to use momentum to get the golf club working.

I can't just use my arms to make this swing.

I need to let everything swing in sequence and everybody's always after what is the right sequence.

It's like, this is what we're naturally going to do.

I'll just swap with you, is in your address position.

Just before you hit the shot, just continually move your feet up and down like this left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot.

And then before you hit the shot, just do it with your toes up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down.

And you'll start to feel that your body has this little bit of a swaying move between your left and your right.

So it's just making what Riggs just gave us there a little bit more applicable when it comes to actually striking the golf ball.

And you'll see pros before they take the golf club away, they kind of blend that with the waggle of their hands and arms.

And before you know it, they're looking like they're very comfortable and effortless going into the golf shot, rather than stuck and static, trying to force a series of mechanics.

Now, one final other drill that you could do is the old walk the line drill.

So you have a series of golf balls out in front of you.

Even if it's not a series of golf balls, we'll just demonstrate it with one here.

And you start with the golf club a distance away.

And what we're going to do here is we're going to make little swings back and through while slowly moving our left and right foot towards the golf ball all the way until we strike it.

And you'll start to realize that the ball kind of just gets in the way, doesn't it?

So starting the golf swing, it is a challenge for a lot of players.

They might start with their weight distribution to equal between their feet.

Then they get stuck and static filled with tension.

Any final thoughts for players taking this into a game that they might be approaching this weekend?

I would love them to do a few of those continuous swings as their pre-shot practice swing.

And then very quickly, okay, avoiding too much time lag in between, put the club behind the golf ball and doing exactly what you just said.
