At top- 65-70% back foo- Surprise -I feel 95% back and when I tried to get back more I felt very uncomfortable.
My shift at top- 65-70% FRONT - before start down. my fel is that little weight moved with the shift.
I can not measure further but I do wind up on front foot UNLESS I block myself out.
I am VERY surprised as I have always felt that most (90%++)weight went back.
This is strange teretory for me.

I would guess that the bathroom scales respond to slow to show accurate figures for a good motion. The weight shift is not simply a shift of static balance point. You can apply a lot of pressure through back foot first, then front foot - without actually moving much around. Because you're using the pressure to feed the golf club with swing speed.

Your readings may be discriminating agains the most hard-working leg at any time.
