Trail-Foot Lift Finish

Swing to the finish and lift your trail foot completely off the ground, holding balance on your lead leg alone.

Duration: 5 min
Reps: 3 sets of 8
Equipment: none
Level: Intermediate

How to do it

Take a practice swing to a full finish.
Once you're balanced, lift your trail foot completely off the ground.
Hold that one-legged finish for 3 seconds.
Reset if you need to hop or re-plant the foot to catch yourself.
Repeat for 3 sets of 8.

Goal

Prove full weight transfer by removing the trail foot as a balance crutch.

Feel cue

Feel all your weight already resting on your lead leg before your trail foot ever leaves the ground.

Mistake to avoid

Hopping or catching yourself with the trail foot as a landing pad instead of holding it up cleanly — a quick re-plant hides the weight-transfer problem this drill is meant to expose.
