Yep this is me, then I end up pulling myself through with my lead leg and swing goes south.
Keeping the trail leg flexed seems to be the magic bullet for me. I can now feel the ground force “push off” and the “up” follow through comes naturally. Awesome!
Like the last few videos, working on rotation and hips, where I struggle!
Got it sorry! Its about turning pelvis into rear leg not over it if you straighten it.
Assumption you make without saying so is that one can not properly load right leg/hip in the backswing if you straighten the rear leg. Why is that so? Why can one not load a straightened rear leg on the back swing?
This one tip makes a huge difference if you’re inconsistent. Fold your pelvis into your trail leg!!!
I find that if I turn my hips (even when I turn correctly) too far or deep I have a hard time transitioning and getting back over to my left side, let alone having my hips slightly open when making contact with the ball. I know I’m not athletic enough to do such a deep turn. So I really have to concentrate on not over turning. Even if The turn is correct.
Hey Russel, what brand of golf pants do you wear?
Guilty as charged in last lesson – was straightening my right leg in a dysfunctional attempt to re-centre with various compensations resulting in messy ball flight. Didn't realise that was what I was doing till you pointed it out, its so obvious now and therefore easy to correct. Back on track now . Thank you!
Russell, what who you suggest with back foot flare in relation to this? Can flare cause problems?
I had two rounds where I thought I was meant to “wipe” my butt along wall to creste hip depth. But wasn’t turning hip over leg…
Will try this tmoz thanks
What drill will help with not throwing right shoulder to start downswing. Casting rather then dropping right shoulder.
When my hips get really square to target in the downswing, i do stand up. Results are generally not good. Perhaps there is too much hip rotation and straightening of rear leg in back swing (never thought of that before nor have I heard of this tip). I probably need to load more onto rear leg so I can more readily open my hips more as i come into impact and avoid standing up. Very insightful hip tip. Thank you.
It’s almost as if this video was made for me!
