Don't Resist Trail Leg In Golf Backswing - GET THIS CORRECT & GET INSTANT RESULTS

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Try this and free up your backswing.. let me know how it feels even without hitting a shot!

[@starks1974]

Are you also emphasizing by doing this first to start the backswing? Step on trail foot to then raise the leg and let the club follow along. I've been trying this method(ground up) but feel like I'm trying to force the torque too much which creates some imbalance, mostly due to me trying to hit the ball farther.

@@starks1974 if that’s a trigger to start momentum for you then great!

this tip is Brilliant i,m 75yrs old use to be single figures for 40 odd yrs now i'm struggling due to Arthritis in the lower back. and i had the normal method all those yrs was to sort of sit on that right knee, Now that right leg as a new knee & new hip, but tomorrow i will be down our club range working on that new set-up this could help me get my handicap down a bit.... I'm 10.8 = 11... the lowest Handicap i got to was 5 and single figures up till 2019, And Age rearing its head.......

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

I truly believe this will help a great deal! Let us know how it goes!

[@gregmcintosh1487]

I’m a bit older and this is exactly what I have been doing, to the point now where my right ankle is very painful all the time and an operation is needed to fix it. Feels like a spur has formed. To late for me but you are 100% correct. I am living proof. 🤒

I'm sorry to be so late in responding.. sometimes they get lost as get hundreds a day:( Anyway, thank you very much and hope others we have help too

Follow your videos regularly,just received online lesson,and this is exactly what the coach mentioned.Been trying to load up right side for years,incorrectly.this hopefully will help with freeing my swing.great content,as always Cheers Paul

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Keep it up but just so you know... we have online coaching and programs too lol :)

[@frankiannetta8743]

Thank you for this wonderful tip! I tried this at the range last weekend and had some good results. I found I could finally get back the feel of getting off my right side, something I have been struggling with as I get older. I still need to work on this but I want to make this a permanent feature of my golf swing.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Super! The not long ago publisher efficient backswing may be a good additional feel to maximize a shorter swing etc. keep at it though!:)

[@davidjames3164]

Your amazing. Best information on KZbin

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Too kind! But thank you and hope it’s helping your game ;)

[@jeffspearman5678]

I’m a senior golfer and have always been taught to resist with my right leg on my backswing. I use a camera to film my swing and I’ve noticed a lot of bend and “air” at top of backswing between my legs. Do you think this is related to resisting too much with the right leg? Thanks

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Yes it could well be! try flaring feet out a little to aid wind up too

[@jeffspearman5678]

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Thank you!

[@davefiano4172]

You’re NOT exaggerating! That was my swing. I have to free up my shoulders because I keep my weight on the lead leg. On the downswing I have to think about “straighten left leg” or my hips “wander” with the club from the top, not exactly standing up or reverse pivoting but a real power drain. I find the biggest power drain however is moving the arms and not the SHOULDERS in the backswing, but I’ll check this out. Thanks.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

See the wind up backswing g and short backswing videos too. They might help and explain the dangers of trying to make big turns etc

[@thecringegolfer]

It's a lot more comfortable for me not to resist. One thing I use to help improve it, is putting the back of a folding chair where my backside pushes against it.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Good to feel hip depth that way for sure!

[@stevejames7511]

That is me!!!

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Hope it helps 🏌️‍♂️

[@grahamjones7371]

The better ive got the faster and earlier i get my lower body out of the way,but it looks a lot smaller move than it feels! In terms of feel its closer to mat wolf move than a turn.But as im 60yo its obv nothing like it!Greg Norman prob describes it best as rhpb or power piston drill. The legs are taking the pressure of my considerable weight,so they are working with strength but not resisting.I have never hit it further and its great at my age to be hitting "worldies" with my fairway woods and hybrids.I have learnt to get my big muscles moving early out of the way giving my arms space and generating flow and speed, rather than using them to hit at the ball!

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Very good insights indeed! It’s your feels that are key too. Keep at it !

@@grahamjones7371 oh wonderful!!! Well done you! What was the best bit of the game?

[@grahamjones7371]

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Swing wise, as im moving better/quicker on backswing, im using my left side better/dynamically on downswing. Scoring wise 2 birdies,3 lip outs!( did get cpl of 15ftrs! )and only doubled on hardest hole = 5 over.

[@grahamjones7371]

I probably still have a bit of a horrible pulled inside takeaway but at least im saving it from there!

[@stormeagle]

I was able to consistently hit the ball with my trail leg straighten. It felt natural and good but i recently attended a golf class and my instructor was really insisting on keeping my trail leg bent. The whole thing felt awful and was a mess.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

You go back to to lengthening the trail leg?

[@stormeagle]

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf yeah when im not in class haha

[@dancorun6650]

My problem is swaying to the right so, thinking of moving my hip up will prevent me from swaying to the right?

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Yes for sure!! I'm sorry to be so late in responding.. sometimes they get lost as get hundreds a day:( Anyway, thank you and hope others we have help too

[@charlesmetzinger4658]

Just discovered this and your lesson has reinforced it.

[@thomasholdtchristensen9566]

My left heel comes up and left knee in... just feels more free when i do. My coach thinks i should resist the trail leg.. but one look at Sam sneed will tell you what to do.. thx for your videos

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Exactly!!!! And even look at many top players now! It may look like they resist but most don’t. They turn around the hip. Some more so than others! Keep at it!!

My trial leg hurts and my glutes, thighs, hamstrings are aching after a round. What am I doing wrong?

[@noonster55]

I'm not sure what I am doing with my back swing, but i don't like it at all. Feels like I'm at the end of my back swing way before I should be, and I'm fighting to keep going back.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Check out some of the videos we have on short backswing or don’t turn the shoulders. That may help

[@jimspatz9211]

Thanks. My recent feel is to move my LEAD hip down and toward my back foot.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Great feel to have!

[@ST-xg3gy]

This game is extremely difficult. Had a wonderful working swing thought, then it disappeared.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Well that is good to a degree :) it’s finding not just quick fixes but foundational improvements
