⛳️ The Mistake Most Amateurs Make
Too many golfers straighten their trail leg early in the backswing.
That might feel like a good turn, but the reality is you’ve just lost all the power from your lower body.
Once that back leg locks out, you’re stuck relying on your arms—and that’s a recipe for inconsistency.

🔄 Keep the Trail Leg Loaded
With Adam, we were focused on:
Keeping some flex in the trail knee
Allowing a good hip turn into the trail side
Making sure there’s mobility in that trail leg, not stiffness
This gave him a powerful, athletic position at the top—one he could push off of in the downswing to create speed and rotate through impact.
💪 More Power, Better Control
By keeping that trail leg flexed:
You store energy in the lower body
You improve your sequencing
You build a better strike pattern
This small adjustment gave Adam the foundation to stay dynamic in transition—helping him shoot one of the lowest rounds of the season.
✅ Try This in Practice
🎯 Drill: Take slow, exaggerated backswings while keeping your trail knee flexed.
🎥 Use a mirror or camera to check that your trail leg doesn’t straighten or drift.
Feel the coil. Stay athletic. Then unleash it through impact.
