Golfweek video instruction: Lead leg drill every golfer should know
Many amateur golfers struggle to transfer weight to their lead leg in their swing.
Fitness guru and Professional Long Driver Averee Dovsek demonstrates a quick drill that will help you feel proper pressure into your lead side, without overthinking your mechanics.
This drill trains your body to naturally shift weight forward, promoting better ball striking, more consistent contact and increased distance.
It's a game-changing move that reinforces proper sequencing and improves balance throughout the swing. Take this drill to the range next time and give it a try.

Where LSU football's 2026 recruiting class ranks after latest four-star addition?
LSU picked up a top prospect in its region with four-star offensive tackle Emanuel Tucker, who announced his commitment last week. The top offensive lineman out of Mississippi in 2026, Tucker, adds to the best recruiting class under head coach Brian Kelly. The group ranks atop the SEC and second nationally behind USC, according to On3's Industry Rankings. The Trojans' class contains 28 prospects, which is why they lead the country in the 2026 cycle. Should the Tigers add a few more four or five-star commitments, they could pull ahead once again. LSU has yet to add a quarterback to the group and it's pursuing Bowe Bentley hard. The four-star passer out of Celina, TX ranks No. 7 at his position and listed the Tigers, Oklahoma and Georgia as his top three. He takes official visits to each over the summer. Led by five-star prospects Tristen Keys and Richard Anderson, the Tigers built their 2026 class on keeping the best homegrown talents in the state. Seven of its commits hail from Louisiana, meaning they're less likely to listen to other programs. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle
