  1. the "one swing plane" doesn't require weight transfer.


  2. The weight transfers from left to right during the back swing, and right to left on the down swing (for a right hander).

    Some swings, they want your legs and lower body to remain quiet, so there is less of a transfer.

  3. Standard golf swings transfer weight from lead foot to back, then back to lead foot. There is a new type of swing being used on the tour these days. This new swing, called the "Stack-and-tilt" swing keeps most all weight on the lead foot. This causes less lower body mothion. Although there is a lot less power, in theory, this should result in straighter shots.

  4. The weight shift on the downswing goes to the inside of the lead foot and ends up in the front of that lead foot on the complete follow through.

  5. Inside edge of the right foot on the back-swing and outside of the left foot on the finish. The right foot will normally be on the toe at finish ( if you do it right). The reverse pivot, falling to the back foot on the follow through, is a VERY common fault. Fight this at every step of your golfing days. It results in an ugly game. P. S., I am guessing that you are right-handed.

  6. As you backswing, the weight transfers slightly from to the right edge of your right foot but not all the weight on the right foot.  If your weight is all on your right foot, you are not 'coiling' correctly.  On the downswing, the remaining weight transfers to the center of your right foot as you start the downswing downwards.  When the club is almost parallel to the ground and moving forward, weight is shifted from right to center.  It is this weight shift of the lower body that produces the power to strike the ball.  The weight then shifts all the way to the left foot ending at the left edge of the foot as you complete you follow-thru.
