Shifting your weight properly in the golf swing is critical to hitting the golf ball correctly. Most of us unfortunately tend to sway a little which is not what you need to do, you must shift your weight, so I found a training aid that focuses exclusively on the correct way to shift your weight.
The product is the Why Golf Pressure Plate. The Pressure Plate takes the guesswork out of how to shift your weight. If you do not shift your weight correctly the Pressure Plate will not go backwards in your downswing and then forwards in your follow through. The Pressure Plate has spikes on the bottom so it stays put on the ground.
I have been taking the Why Golf Pressure Plate to the range for about 6 weeks now and using it with every iron and wood in my golf bag. At first, I was hitting shots thin, as you are a little higher off the ground than normal. I think this is because you are standing on the Pressure Plate and it is a little bit off the ground.
After the first day with the Why Golf Pressure Plate and understanding I was standing a bit higher I was able to adjust to it and I am now hitting golf balls much more consistent. It really works to make sure you are turning properly and shifting your weight. The Pressure Plate is very sturdy and well made, and like all training aids, for them to really help you must use them regularly. I am very confident the Why Golf Pressure Plate does exactly what it was created to do, help golfers shift their weight properly.
I also tried it inside on carpet just to see it if worked and it did. However, I did not want to possible ruin my carpet so I only use it now on grass at the range on in my backyard on grass.
The company website is www.whygolf.com and the Pressure Plate costs $129.99. Why Golf also offers additional full swing, short game and putting training aids for you to check out.
