In your terrific video "GOLF'S ULTIMATE DRIVER CRASH COURSE [Setup | Swing | Slice/Hook Fixes]
Premiered May 10, 2020" at 30:42, when you say you want to step on it, you say that you will put more weight forward, so that when you get to the top of the backswing you will have more to push off." I don't exactly understand what you are saying about "pushing off" and I have the feeling that it is critical to generating downswing speed. Would you please clarify what is "pushing off" and how do we do that?
Thank you so much Tom, you are really a wonderful teacher. Arnie
Maybe you can do a video segment on this topic?? I'm sure many of us want to learn it.
Are you referring to posting up on the left foot? Or the "jump" move that some tour players utilize?
I appreciate your kind words, Arnie!
"Pushing off" tends to happen naturally for the more experienced player. Others may have to consciously build in this move and ingrain it through repetition. If the swing is properly executed both legs will be flexed early in the downswing, placing them in position to utilize the ground force and thrust the hips upward through the strike.
Although this YT video is primarily a shoe promo, I do talk about using the ground. Perhaps it might offer some additional clarity.
