How to do it
Take your normal backswing to the top.
Take a small step with your lead foot toward the target.
Let the step landing start your downswing.
Repeat for 10 reps, then blend the step into a smaller pressure shift for full swings.
Goal
Move pressure to the lead side before the club arrives instead of leaving it on the trail foot.
Feel cue
Feel your lead foot press down before your arms start falling.
Mistake to avoid
Don't lunge your upper body forward with the step — just move the pressure.
