Keep Your Weight Forward Through Your Swing with Crush-It!

You hear lots of tips on how to hit a golf ball far, really far. And a few of them are actually true, including this one: To go long, you need a weight-moving-forward swing. To achieve a Weight Forward Swing you must smoothly move your lower body weight onto your forward foot beginning at start-down and continuing until follow-through (all while maintaining a Steady Head). At "Address" about 50% of your weight is distributed on each foot; at "Impact" between 70 and 85% of your lower body weight is moved to your front foot; at "The Finish" 90 to 95% of your weight should be on your front foot.

With this swing, you keep a steady head but your lower body weight moves smoothly onto your forward foot. This movement starts at the top of your back swing and continues through impact where 70 to 85 percent of your weight is on your front foot. If you're falling back onto your rear foot, you're hitting "fat shots" into the water or sand hazard.
