Lift the lead foot at the top to check weight shift

The instructor gives a simple drill to check that you are loading into the trail side on the driver backswing: swing to the top of your swing and lift your left foot off the ground, then plant it and go. They say if you are not shifted to your right side, you cannot lift the foot and will literally fall over.
