ZONE 1 Problems
 
I have recently Just posted another similar thread under golf machine basic, sectoin, but i am having great dificulty with my weight shift, i was on a dynamic balance machine today, and i saw that my weight was shifting way to far back onto my heels and even behing them on the backswing, and the main problem is way way to dar out onto myleft toe at impact, coming out of my psture, thrusitng my hips towards the ball, no matter how hard i try i was unable to stop the weight shift issue, but on video was able to stay down in the shot however it was a great struglle. I thinkthat htis may at least be partly a physical conditioning issue, any exersizes to help get through the ball better woudl really help. I constnatly struggle to usemy hips and keep them goeing to keep the lag and drag in the pivot train, as they seem to want to stop prematurly, and the overtaing begins way to soon, causing an array of swing flaws the biggest of which is runningout of right arm and then beding my leading wrist.

Nice I finally came in to talk, huh.
 
It sounds, to me, like your low back and hamstring muscles are holding too much tension at the hip and as they fight for control they are tilting your pelvis as you move through your swing. Remember that your trapezius (shoulder) muscle connects to L5 and the deep and superficial erector muscles (they run vertically in tandem along the spine from your occipital bone to your sacrum. Without seeing your posture it is hard to be specific but you need to focus on compound lower body exercises that allow you to develop better cooperation. Ofcourse it goes without saying that you need to make sure you have the same level of flexibility above and below the hips. You should be able to sit on the floor with your legs outstretched together and create a right angle. Most people have to lean back of the sit bones. That is a simple check. If this is the case then place your arms behind you and straighten your back, that doesn't mean a vertical back. use your abs and your chest and try to move in millimeters over a few weeks, ok maybe months, until you can sit, without pain, with your shoulders stacked over your him and your back straight.

It's a start but we need more information. I will be checking in to see if you want to explore the process further.
