Maintain Your Posture - Rotate The Lead Knee Under The Body

Maintaining your spine tilt - also known as maintaining posture - through the swing is a key part of consistent ball striking. In this video we show you how the rotation motion of the lead leg in the backswing can really help you maintain that tilt. When you use a groin muscle called the gracilis you pull the lead knee under the body in the backswing and that keeps your spine tilt from changing. And when you maintain your spine angle your posture is maintained and everything else in the golf swing becomes simpler.

Beauty, can one have the same thought with the trail knee trying to get under lead leg on downswing to keep hip depth?

[@AltaViewGolf]

Yes - there is symmetry here. You use the right gracilis to rotate the trail lower leg under the body as you are coming into impact as opposed to using the other hip rotate muscles and it will help maintain the proper depth of the hips through impact and maintain posture coming into the ball. Move the right knee out to the ball on the downswing and you lose posture just like moving the left knee out to the ball on the backswing you lose posture. Sounds like a good idea for another video......

Nate has a lot of club head speed.

When I start turning my leading shoulder during the takeaway, I move forward (head, knee) Not sure what I need to do. Maybe one piece takeaway without move forward? Any suggestion. Thanks.

Black trousers against a black backdrop is not the best idea.

[@AltaViewGolf]

Yes - we noticed that on the post filming production! We said the EXACT same thing. Will try to have better wardrobe coordination! Thanks for watching.
