Preset your weight forward in setup

The coach's first setup key is to preset the weight forward in the front leg, about 55 to 60 percent, which he says will feel like 80 to 20 because most golfers are used to shifting weight to the back and through. He says setting the weight forward gives you one point of contact every time and keeps your body over the ball for cleaner contact.
