Referencing to the below analysis by Dr Kevin Ball that Dr Mann posted on his website
WEIGHT TRANSFER STYLES IN THE GOLF SWING:
INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP ANALYSIS
vuir.vu.edu.au/1432/1/Ball.pdfOn page 309 under 'General Conclusions' there was quite a surprising statement he made as follows:
A new and important finding was that for Reverse golfers, at ball contact weight was
positioned near midstance and was moving towards the back foot. Further, moving
weight more rapidly towards the back foot at this event was related to better
performance on a group and an individual basis. This is in direct conflict with the
coaching literature which reports weight should be nearer the front foot at ball contact
and be continuing to move further towards the front foot. There is no mention of this
technique in either coaching or scientific literature so it represents a new finding.
This
finding requires that both coaching and scientific recommendations for weight
transfer in the golf swing need to be changed.I found this particularly interesting because I have never in my 26 years playing golf been able to follow-through properly on my lead leg . I have always felt it was a strain and invariably lost my balance or tended to fall back on my rear leg. Yet virtually all golf instruction never once mentioned the viability of being a 'Reverse Foot' golfer or offered any other option to perform the golf swing other than a 'Front Foot' pressure weight action.
Are there any instructors out there that teach a 'Reverse Foot' type weight pressure action?
