Hi guys. I have had a bit of confusion in regards to what way to setup with weight forward at address. Sometimes tom says to bump the hips forward causing a little reverse K, and other times it seems like he says to lean forward to that lead side to put the weight forward so your whole body kind of leans forward. What is the correct way?

@22cblower - It seems like you might be misinterpreting something I'm saying with regard to "leaning forward" as I do not want your head or upper torso moving closer to the target. Setup 50/50 with your shoulders, hips, and knees "stacked". Then simply bump your lead hip targetward an inch (slightly more with the driver) to preset the weight in favor of the lead leg - 55% with the short and middle irons, 60% with the longer clubs.
At address, keep 60 percent on the lead leg and keep it there. The bump forward is what starts the downswing and starts the stack before you turn. As you finish you should be completely stacked on your left side for a right handed golfer Fully extended.
