Your left knee during the golf swing can hurt your swing speed and rotation. In this video I explain what to look out for and how to fix your left knee, how to help your rotation and the results in club head speed and ball striking.

This video gives you great detail on how to hit more greens, hit more fairways and lower your golf scores and ultimately your handicap.
We look at 3 things:
1. Improving your leg action
2. Increasing your hip rotation
3. Creating more club speed
and I hope to do all this with simple understanding to create a simple golf easy golf swing.

🙌 for me a lightbulb again .. when you put your spine tilted to the right.. you still can move your shoulderplaine ( left shoulder down ) move opposite to the spine thnx champ 💪
Very good video. My left leg and hip sort of collapses on the backswing. Had this look for years and think it may have had a knock on effect possibly "EE". When I keep the left side up you can feel a much stronger coil at the top.

With the handle down through the golf swing through strike. Does this present the club head at a 45° angle to the ground? How does this not dig the heal into the ground to get the centre of the clubface on the ball?
Thanks
Too much exlpanation ooh😅
awesome drill teacher!!
In general poorer player never consciously ACTIVATE the muscles located on the body trunk in order to turn around their spine. They just use all this other crap like arms, shoulders, and knees. This is why Jack Nicklaus INSISTED all of his life that the first 2 inches of the take-away is the most important part of the golf swing. He stated you can never recover once past that point. That two inches is the ONLY PLACE in the swing that you can consciously activate body trunk muscles. AND THIS IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF A CONNECTED SWING. Everything is connected to your body turn as the leader of the charge. This drastically reduces the need for timing and is the key to carrying the range game to the first tee. There is very little timing required and we all know timing never sticks around very long. This is why you see many pros with very short swings these days.
Wanted to verify: As you are moving your front knee back on the backswing, are you also increasing the pressure on the front foot at the same time?
Technically impossible to keep hips level with bent knee or internally rototed
I will try this i hit both of the bad shots you talk about . I have been trying to stabilize my to keep them level by not turning the knee in or out but it restricted my turn which produce both a out to in swing because i dont turn enough or a swing that is in to out and comes across or glancing hit producing a week and spinning shot with an open club face or a shot to left if i close the club face.
Some coach said left hip should be lower during backswing …and you said it should be higher. Is that correct?
Wayyyy too long
A Core slider is a good option for this drill Stu. Just gave it a go and it’s definitely not as easy as it looks, I’ll give you that 😊 See you soon
Looks like this is a popular ‘head scratcher’ for the Cartwright Collective – I’ve always felt unsure about my left knee position as it ‘looks’ a bit like it moves out towards the toe of the left foot of better golfers – clearly another case of dodgy camera angles and insufficient knowledge – thanks for the concise clarification Stu!

PS; I’m still loving the game!
Bet the path on that last one was +2.4 for that little push draw. 🙂 Trying to come up with some "rules of thumb" for face (FTT) and path combos. Bet you have a nice list, already. My spreadsheet isn't spitting them out as clearly as I had hoped/expected.
This is a timely video for me. I have been working on my lower body rotation and had introduced some minor reverse tilt. My left knee always wants to go towards my right toe!
