Should Your Knee Stay FLEXED? || 2 Easy Tips

[@codybryant8458]

This was something I noticed today in my swing that was causing early extension/casting problems! I watched my swing versus a pro swing, and noticed I was fully extending my trail leg in the backswing, and no pro’s were doing it! I started keeping that flex in the trail leg and immediately started getting my hands ahead of the ball at impact and divots after ball! I assume this was because the flex allowed better rotation and recentering in the downswing. I had to know so I searched KZbin and landed on this video…. So glad I did , it makes sense now!!

My swing has never been better since watching your videos. You should be in the 100,000s of subs

Love it, another fantastic session and again I find myself immediately jumping in my car to head over to the range to work on this. Thank you again

[@PorzakGolf]

We absolutely love this enthusiasm and desire to get better!

This is the best instructor online no doubt. Are used to always be laid off and people would tell me to manipulate my hands to fix it. But the problem was not being connected with my turn. Not opening up too quickly and straighten in my leg. Once I follow these videos I am always down the line or across the line a little like I like to be

[@nikekido23]

I would used to have coaches tell me keep my thumbs pointed at the bar in my backswing which was incorrect or feel like the back of my lead hand faces the ball longer in my backswing, also incorrect

[@PorzakGolf]

Thank you thank you thank you! This is exactly correct and this is how we get everybodys backswibg to out them on the path to the least amount of manipulation for the downswing! Thanks for watching!

Adam putting out bangers everytime! I encourage everyone to take a lesson with him. He’s awesome!

[@PorzakGolf]

Thanks Trey!

Adam, flying out there for a lesson is now on my bucket list! Great stuff

We will be ready for ya!!

2:26 - 2:47 … what a complete and succinct explanation. 20 seconds of absolute gold right there. Have honestly not heard the mechanics explained in such a clear manner, anywhere else

[@PorzakGolf]

Thank you so much HD! We truly appreciate that and is exactly what we aim to do! Thank you for watching!

My wife watches Netflix. I watch Porzak golf videos.

[@Chris_Traynor]

Hey Adam! Something I’ve always wondered. Your players all seem to have that ‘look’ from down the line where their arms look quite straightened from ‘the slot’ down into impact. Sorta contrasts with a Hovland/DJ/Morikawa look of ‘right arm under left’ and bent trail arm at impact. I was wondering what is happening differently in the swing which creates these different ‘looks’? Rotation? Timing? Grip type? Strength? Use of force? Mix of things? No problem if impossible to explain on here. Might make an interesting video though.🤔

[@OfCourseICan]

Pure Gold. Grateful Aussie.

[@yujunliu8406]

thanks Adam. Do we have any video about leading knee move in future?

[@jamesrobinson8428]

I would love that too

[@JCChavz]

Would shortening the swing be helpful in a situation like this? For example, instead of increasing the turn, just stop the hands from going to high? For some reason, adding more turn tends to get me out of sync 😓

Hi ,you have only first class studient ! I mean almost pro swing studients.

[@markking3779]

👍👍👍..enjoyed as alys..Tks..

[@tgchris2222]

When I try to maintain knee bend as a 54 year old, it restricts my hip rotation by like 15 degrees. I’m not locking out the knee but it helps me way too much to change this….

[@jonathanrandall6592]

Hi Adam, any training aids that you use to get this knee staying flexed with students. Really struggle with it? Thanks

[@nicholasortiz4222]

Several years back there was a training aid called Load-N-Fire that was a brace that kept your trail knee in a flexed position.

[@nunyo7259]

You know whats strange is you dont hear anybody talking about the flex in rear knee, IF they do its supposed to straighten. I look at a ton of pro golfers swings just to see if I can see what everyone has in common and 1 thing that I noticed before Ive even see this video is the rear knee seems as if it barely straightens, hard to tell because they mostly wear pants but look at Colin M, Tony F, Justin Thomas are some examples. It almost seems as if they barely have any hip rotation.

[@ThrifTeeGolf]

Same and it took me awhile to figure out they hardly straighten it. I have a bad habit of it and have been working on not straightening it so much lol

[@PorzakGolf]

Just wanted to chime in here so we dont get confused! When we keep the trail knee flexed, it doesn't mean to restrict our hips or body rotating to the top. We are simply bracing that trail knee and foot for a more connected backswing. Thanks for watching!

[@nunyo7259]

@@PorzakGolf Understood, I just feel like when its flexed you can feel pressure better, for me at least...still a work in progress

[@markeverhart7480]

The right knee flex was a big key for Larry Nelson when he played his best.

[@TheArowe1]

Trail knee covering the ball is common factor I see in every great ball striker

How much of a squat do you like to see in transition, and do you have a video on it?

[@RickyParker-n1g]

His leg is still straightening

[@jherl8307]

Still confused. You advocate keeping the rear knee flexed. Other instructors advocate straightening the rear knee in order to post up on it on the backswing. Watching pro tour players some straighten the rear knee (D Johnson). Others keep the flex throughout (Charley Hull). Wish you instructors could get your act together or just say both methods are acceptable.

[@ZiPolishHammer]

He’s saying keep “some” flex. The student had been locking out the knee which gets you stuck in your heel and makes weight transfer hard.

[@jherl8307]

@@ZiPolishHammer Oh ok so I guess what he’s doing is putting it back on the student because what the hell is “some flex”. Define “some flex”. I guess the student has to figure it out for himself.
