This week on the Impact Show we’re on the Boditrak stand at the PGA Show demo day talking about weight shift. We discuss what you can learn from Justin Thomas’ golf swing. Lets take charge of your game!
Russell made a massive charge on the last 3 holes of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge this weekend to force a playoff with Eric Cole. Henley drained another putt on the first playoff hole to win his 6th PGA Tour event! While he is a Titleist staff member, his WITB is far from a simple blend of the latest gear. He mixes brand new with some very old clubs in order to play his best.

What happens when a 10 handicap and a +4 handicap go through a full driver fitting at one of the most advanced golf performance centers in the world? Brian Knudson and Andrew Von Lossow headed to the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, California, to find out.
Both players go through a complete Titleist GTS driver fitting with the Titleist fitting team to see how swing speed, launch conditions, strike location, shaft profile, and head setup can completely change performance off the tee. Even though the golfers have very different games, the fitting process reveals just how important proper equipment can be for maximizing distance, tightening dispersion, and improving consistency.
You will see how Titleist fitters analyze every part of the driver setup including loft, weighting, shaft selection, and head model to build a driver specifically for each player’s swing. While the skill levels, club head speeds, and desired outcomes are different both players show how deep and versatile the new Titleist GTS driver lineup is.

OB is right, just what happens with the body and weight distribution throught a swing. I found this video amqzing as its exactly why I hit it so low. JT’s forces are certainly different and the demo ishow us that. Sure none of us will hit it like JT nor are they telling us we will if we can master this. Stop being so critical guys. Its up to you of you wish to try it. Otherwise its just a golf video showing us another way Pros are rodiculous!

how come your demonstration and the video are totally different. You guys seem to be reaching on this one. two thumbs down. All you will teach an avg amateur to do is reverse pivot

Don’t think most people can jump off the front foot so it’s in the air and the balance goes to the back foot for a moment before returning to the front foot for balance. JT is unusual.
Most of us would fall all over the tee box doing what JT does.

I used use my feet like that when a junior golfer and I blew my right big mpt toe joint in my late 20’s early 30’s. Sure, a skinny guy can generate power & speed with this method but at what physical cost?
J.T will have two careers and two swings! The one before his body blows out and the one after the surgery on his right big toe joint. That’s my take. Been there! Hallux Rigidus of right big toe!

To shift your pressure from foot to foot requires the displacement or movement of the body center of mass located in the vicinity of the navel. The center of mass will fluctuate as the body stance changes positions throughout the golf swing.
The “center of pressure” is a good indicator of shifting pressure changes between the feet.

“…use the ground…”, “…feel the ground…” = GRF (Ground Reaction Forces)?
BCF = Body Creation Forces results in Ground Reaction Forces & Torques too.
GRF is a “reaction” force, NOT a “creation” force. Your body creates forces and torques and the ground supports and reacts in opposition to those body forces.
GRFs are not hidden magic forces that you can access for more power; they are just the equal forces opposing your body created forces. Understand?!!
