I have a question about pre-setting some of your weight onto the left (front) foot prior to the swing. Are there any advantages and/or disadvantages to making this shift, and getting into a p1 position similar to Zach Johnson. I seem to hit the ball much better when I make this adjustment.
Weight shift to the left prior to the swing?

Sometimes I'll do that if I'm going to hit it low.
And almost always with "stock" wedge shots and pitch/chip shots.

If you do that, do also do a forward press to intiate the swing? Just wondered, because I am trying to eliminate the forward press because I think it introduces some sway, that I don't need. Maybe if I think "pre-set weight forward, that would help!

Myself, I don't.
I just lean my body towards the target and onto my lead foot.........the shaft leans forward with it. But I don't add any independent forward press of the hands.

Yes, I think "forward press" normally relates to the hand press, not a weight shift. I seem to do both, and it has become ingrained.
