How to do it
Take your address position and make a normal backswing.
As you start down, shift pressure toward the target and let the trail heel come up naturally.
Check that the heel release happens by impact, not late in the follow-through.
Repeat for 3 sets of 10 at half speed, then add full shots.
Goal
Confirm pressure has moved to the lead side by checking the trail heel releases naturally.
Feel cue
Feel your trail heel float up as your chest turns through.
Mistake to avoid
Don't force the heel up early — let it happen as a result of the pressure shift, not before it.
