Starting your down swing with the correct footwork and therefore correct pressure shift from your trail foot to your lead foot (right foot to left foot for right handed golfers) will allow you to create a chain reaction of movement through your body, so that you can deliver the head of the club back to the ball with maximum speed, to produce maximum shot distance. Here’s a really easy feedback drill that you can work on to help you achieve the correct pressure shift in your feet at the correct time during your down swing.

Strike the golf ball first before the ground much more often with this drill. Here’s a straightforward, effective golf tip to help you stop hitting the ground before the golf ball when you hit golf shots. There’s no need to keep struggling with your golf swing, this will help you to learn to rotate, rather than lean away from the target during your golf swing, resulting in cleaner struck golf shots, where you strike the golf ball before the ground.
