Well said RacersEdge.....Mark please refrain from commenting on what a drill will and wont do if you don't understand it. It's not about weight shift in either direction, rather, it's about promoting stability throughout the entire swing.

I apologize if I insulted you but this is a discussion forum on golf and I feel I am very well qualified to comment. I have played golf for nearly 40 years, I played Division I Golf in college, have been a plus or scratch for most of my life, have been a club champion and have grown up with and am personal friends with many PGA Tour players and top teaching professionals. I have read virtually every book of major importance on the golf swing and have been to many of the top teachers in my area.
The bucket drill may help to promote a turn in the back swing rather than a slide but trying a downswing with the left foot on a bucket will be counter productive as your swing will bottom out behind the ball. Advising someone to keep their head still is also counter productive, one need only look at the swings of David Duval, Jim Furyk and Annika Sorenstam to see this is not important to good ball striking. Swinging slower is more typical amatuer advice. Someone with a [censored] swing who swings slower will simply have a slow [censored] swing. And finally the advice for a 20 plus handicpper to practice hitting 6 irons off your kneees is so laughable its unbelieveable. Maybe a driver off a tee, but a 6 iron off the ground on your knees by a hack makes me LMFAO!!!
Get Ben Hogan's 5 Fundamentals or Hank Johnson's The Three Games of Golf, find a good teacher and practice. You'll get better fast! Enjoy the journey though because you will never be as good as you want to be and golf humbles everyone!
