]]> Comment on GolfTec Lesson: Weight Shift through the Swing by Keith http://rookieonthegreen.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/golftec-lesson-weight-shift-through-the-swing/#comment-43 Keith Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:03:33 +0000 http://rookieonthegreen.wordpress.com/?p=119#comment-43 Great blog! I'm a newbie too - just started taking a group class 6 weeks ago and I'm loving it, even though class time has been entirely on driving range and practice green so far. Hope your blister troubles have subsided! I had a similar issue that I believe was entirely due to gripping too hard. It's fine now. As for this particular post, has your instructor said anything about if it's OK to slightly raise your left heel on the backswing? I don't know if this is considered bad form or not, but I find myself doing it accidentally - and naturally - sometimes as a part of that weight shift to the right leg. Always seems to result in more distance too. Keep at it! Great blog!

You really focus more on making perfect contact with the ball to get it going straight. I love that drill. You really focus more on making perfect contact with the ball to get it going straight.
