Wondering if others have checked out their lead knee position at the top of the backswing, then the movement on the downswing? I was doing some mirror work with the tailbone forward move to see where my lead knee is at the top and then on the downswing. What I found was my lead knee is moving forward and possibly slightly towards the trail side. Therefore, when I try to move/slide my hips forward on the downswing, my lead knee cannot support that move. If my lead knee moves downward but pivots slightly towards the target, it seems to provide a better foundation to slide the hips on the downswing. If my lead knee simply dips forward it seems it's easier to spin-out my hips on the downswing.
Has anyone else checked out their lead knee position at the top and on the downswing? If Tom has a video that would be great.
Just watched the video and also checked out my left knee in the mirror. I think my issue is moving off the ball slightly with my shoulders which seems to pull the left knee inward vs. moving out over the left foot. Thanks for the responses. I have a feeling this issue is quite common and overlooked.
@GolfLivesMatter - Here's a KFC Club member video where I talk about the knee action. Hope it helps!
@GolfLivesMatter - I think you answered your own question. The lead knee needs to move toward the target to support the hips and torso on the follow through. Generally, if the lead knee works in on the backswing it means you have allowed your weight to move back. I’m not saying there are not some who are athletic enough to have the lead knee move inward and still get the necessary bump on the downswing, but its just something else you have to worry about.
Get your lead knee working down over your lead foot and you’ll be ready on the downswing the use the ground and accelerate through impact. It definitely a power move.
