"Contrary to popular belief - there is no "weight shift" that occurs. We want the golfer to view himself/herself as a "tilted corkscrew" and only use rotation to turn on the back swing."
One of my students saw this and found it entertaining. He forwarded the website to me. The person quoted teaches for a living.
I've sent an email asking for supporting data, which may not be answered. I asked if she had ever seen force plate data or 3-D imaging in the email.
All it takes is a deep'n wide stance and some really big shoes - and a very very very slow swing with an almost weightless club.
Then there will be no weight shift ...
... almost.
Just be carful and not strike the ball too hard. It may disturb the perfect static balance. The safest stroke is actually to just leave the ball in the pocket. Be careful with the air drag nevertheless.
Major swing thought should be: Imagine that you're standing on the north pole - on a very thin layer of wery slippery ice. With a few thousand feet of very cold water below.

Yes, for a true shiftless swing I like to swing without a club while on my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. No shoes. "Dry swinging" as my Swedish golf buddy calls it. I always get a big round of applause from the wife if I happen to wake her up when doing that one. Which is why I try to make it as undynamic and as quiet as I possibly can. She is a big fan of my golf addiction that girl. Yes I'm a lucky guy.
Cant wait for the reply. Didn't Golf Digest do a great article in early 80's showing Norman and others on scales? Now we have force plates good thing Ted dosen't make us stand on elephant scales anymore.
