I have a hard time getting the weight on my front foot. When I turn my shoulder down, my knee tends to bend in. I have set it at 30 degrees open but it gets uncomfortable on the turn.
Based on your short description and without actually seeing your swing, I can only speculate that you have too much turn and not enough tilt. Assuming you have ingrained the proper setup elements from the first chapter, I suggest spending plenty of time training the basic motions in the early parts of Chapter 2 of the Golf Swing Simplified course or Part II of Get Out and Go Play. You may then benefit from working on the 90% Weight Forward/Arms Straight Drill
Given your challenges with this critical component of the swing, you may also wish to give some thought to the V1 Swing Video Analysis – an extremely valuable service that I highly recommend to everyone in the school. This enables me to put my eyes on your swing and offer some very specific observations and corrective action plans if applicable. I liken it to bringing your swing into the shop for a tune-up or minor repair. Scheduling one on a quarterly basis for preventive maintenance will do wonders for keeping things humming along nicely, and it's also a great tool for pinpointing and resolving any issues that arise. The process involves downloading the free V1 app and then submitting two videos to me through the app - one down-the-line (captured from your stance line, not the target line) and the other face-on. You'll find more information about the V1 Analysis halfway down this page on the Saguto.Golf site.
Alternatively, you might consider posting your swing videos in the Forum's Video Analysis Room. While I don't personally review these as it conflicts with my V1 service, you may be pleasantly surprised by the knowledge base and helpfulness of this great community!
