Spine Angle Tilt And Weight Distribution

Mon, 07/04/2011 - 15:00 -- Don Trahan

Happy 4th of July to everyone in the Surge Nation that celebrate this American holiday. We hope you all are enjoying a great weekend with friends and family!

We had a really good discussion on spine angle tilt and weight distribution in hitting a variety of shots. When I change my spine angle tilt in the setup to achieve various heights on long shots I do have more or less weight on my back foot in relation to my tilt. But there is one thing I never do.

Weight distribution is always on the back foot, not the forward foot for full swings. If you put more weight on the forward foot you'€™re in great danger of driving the club into the ground and ruin the shot.

I adjust my spine angle tilt and weight distribution based on what part of the ball I'€™m going to hit combined with how high I want the ball to go. In this video I explain how that happens, whether you want to power it high or hit it low, straight into the wind.

Keep it vertical,

The Surge!
