Many golfers are losing power in the golf swing by keeping their weight too static throughout the swing.

In this video, PGA coach Kerrod Gray and Ackzel Donaldson (@juniorgolfacademy) explain how getting lighter at the top of the backswing before pushing into the ground on the downswing helps generate speed and distance. By allowing your body to rise and then sink you’ll create vertical force, improve sequencing, and transfer more energy into the clubhead.
