Heel-to-Toe Weight Transfer & Leg Extension Drill

Start loaded on the rear foot, step front heel forward, and execute a dynamic heel-to-toe weight transfer while extending upward through the lead leg.

Key points

  • Load weight primarily on the rear foot during preparation
  • Transfer body weight dynamically from back foot to front heel-to-toe during impact
  • Extend vertically through the front leg at contact as rear foot finishes on its toe

Common mistakes

Shifting all weight onto the lead leg before starting the forward swing, eliminating forward drive.
