Lifting Front Foot - Any Fixes?
Posted on 1/19/23 at 12:09 pm

Finally got to video a full range session on Tuesday and noticed I am still struggling with too much movement in my front foot. Its causing a lot of inconsistent shots with my irons. Its something I have had issues with in the past. Does anyone have any tips/drills/fixes?
I am hitting my drives accurate (60%-65%) and putting is decent (avg 32/round) but my iron play is absolutely killing my scoring at the moment.

Ha! It isn't that bad.

There's not necessarily something wrong if you're lifting your front foot.

Nicklaus and Snead have more of a roll of the front foot rather than a lift. DC has more of a lift of the heel. May not be a bad idea to convert it to a roll rather than a lift.
The wedge under foot drill is more for the back foot to stop early extension, but you could maybe try it for the front foot. If the wedge falls in the back swing you lifted your foot obviously.

Put a little tension in my right knee (right handed) I found quieted my feet (and cut down on sway). Just turned my foot slightly till I could feel it in my knee.

Baseball habits die hard.
As soon as I fix this and shallow the club a bit on my downswing its game over.

Start with 70% weight on left foot and feel like you keep it there. Also helps with turning hips and shoulders instead of swaying.

Just stop lifting your foot....
I'm saying that tongue in cheek, but I had the same issue.

This is correct, your issue is more than likely a weight shift issue. Hit balls with half swings and your weight always on your front side. Gradually work up to a full swings, enough balls hit and you will get there.

Try putting a ball under each foot underneath the toes. Hit 3/4 shots

One of my buddies used to lose all his at the transition from backdating to down swing and lose his front foot. Fixed him by placing his full beer against his foot and fixed him right up.

I’m going to agree with others about weight on the front foot.
I too fought baseball habits for a long time. As baseball players we are taught to shift our weight back and then forward into the swing. Although this is true in golf it’s to a lesser extent, hard habit to break though, especially if you are still making solid contact.
Think about keeping your weight on your left side throughout the whole swing.
