Increase Rotation and Club Speed | Left Leg Action

Your left knee during the golf swing can hurt your swing speed and rotation. In this video I explain what to look out for and how to fix your left knee, how to help your rotation and the results in club head speed and ball striking.

This video gives you great detail on how to hit more greens, hit more fairways and lower your golf scores and ultimately your handicap.

We look at 3 things:

1. Improving your leg action
2. Increasing your hip rotation
3. Creating more club speed

and I hope to do all this with simple understanding to create a simple golf easy golf swing.

Could this drill be the answer to your leg action the left knee has been talked about a lot of times when clients come onto my mat and they’re always referencing the left knee it’s fascinating that people’s ability to be nurtured down a route where they believe that in their back

Swing their left knee in a back swing should be turned out and should look straight what we need to understand is that the left knee is the only joint between the foot and the hip if the knee stayed in the same spot and just moved forwards it

Would be impossible for the left hip to actually move around and what you actually end up seeing a lot of the time is when the left knee kicks out it restricts hip turn now if you start to restrict hip turn you then start to restrict shoulder rotation then

When you start to restrict shoulder rotation we start to see arm planes getting steeper then you add in some weak grip and some open face and before you know it you’re cutting across the back of the golf ball and DEP depending on whether your Club face is closed to the path which

That one was or whether your left knee out arms bring up weak grip has a open face to path you’ll cut across the back of it and hit it out to the right so whilst I reference the knee you can see the implications that the faulty understanding of how that left knee

Should operate can have ramifications in the amount of hip turn you have the amount of shoulder turn you have and the implications on your arm pitch now now your armp pitch will always harmonize with your face to path it would be very unusual for someone with a knee out short hip turn short

Back swing to have an arm lift up if their face to path value was super strong because the ball would not take off and it would go a long way to the left so just because the knee’s out and the arms are up doesn’t mean that’s a

Blanket uh Proto call for all you could still have knee out short hip turn short shoulder turn and you could still have an low arm plane to accommodate the face to path value that makes the ball bend to the left so this left knee needs to be understood for what it

Is what I want to do here is take two golf clubs this golf club is my pelvis from a face on orientation we look at it from the side the pelvis would look more like this so taking it from a face on position because that’s where most golfers will look and evaluate their

Left knee from if the pelvis is set like so and you’ve got two legs hanging off the pelvis what you’re trying to do by holding the left knee out is restrict the amount of rotation that the pelvis will make at the point where you start to restrict the amount the knee

Works this spine that starts to when it’s set up that’s got a nice angle to it as you start to slide your pelvis across because you’re not rotating what starts to happen is we start to see a spine tip to the left and I talked about

This in my spine angle video again I want to make you understand that the knee and its implications on what it can disrupt in your golf swing rather than fix your left knee You’ll Play Better golf so when we understand what the left knee does and how it will impact the pelvis

To spine the arm plane you then start to think oh quy I’ve been working on my arm plane but maybe I need to look at my left knee so by the left knee being held out what we then tend to see is is still a desire to move the lower half and again

Now the spine is tilted more to the left so the knee as far as I’m concerned needs to have some swing in the left knee swinging in is important now with the left knee swinging in excuse me I could swing the left knee in but I could also

Change the pitch of my pelvis I could also have my left knee in and I could change the pitch of my pelvis so just because the left knee’s kicked in doesn’t mean that we would see a left hip down we could have the left knee in

And have a left hip up which again when the left knee is kicked in and kinked the left hip down it starts to disrupt the spine as I say then starts to disrupt the arm pitch and both of those can can occur left knee out and left knee in can disrupt the the

Amount of rotation you have in your pelvis so the left knee swinging around is important because it mobilizes the amount of hip T but making your left hip your left knee kick in but still having a left hip that’s high gives you the opportunity to start to keep your

Spine angle tipped away from the target so that your arm plane can start to settle down a little a little bit you can see my angle of attack was 1.6 down and my path was immediately 4.6 from the inside so the left knee swinging in how

Do we achieve a much better idea of how the left knee works the leaderboard is a bit of equipment that I use with a lot of my players whether they are total beginners or they are someone that are playing at Tor level the leaderboard is a sliding skate

That has therabands loaded to it so I can make this sliding skate have some resistance you don’t need one of these to achieve this drill I’m just going to use this to demonstrate to begin with so by the by the skate sliding across what it does is it starts to give

Me a much better understanding of my left hip staying high but not only that if my left foot slides across and then I drop my left hip hip in obviously because I’ve no longer got a foot over here I would then fall over so what

We’re looking for is for you to set up make a back swing and then start to slide the skate across make a back swing slide the skate across now what this is doing is making the left hip feel like it can keep some height in its back swing and what you’ll immediately feel

Is your left shoulder wants to be a little bit higher for those of you that have had a left knee that’s kicked in you’ll feel your left shoulder higher but it doesn’t necessarily mean that your spine angle has to flatten off you can still have a left shoulder higher

But you can still have spine angle because these shoulders do move independent of the spine the middle spine so this sliding skate is really really useful to start to get an awareness of where the left hip wants to be now you might not be able to get hold

Of a leaderboard they are like rocking horse poop get yourself a piece of card off of the box that you might be using for swing plane and release and lay it on the floor if you are tired of paying too much for premium leather golf glovs do go over and check

That has a very little resistance so now what I’m going to do is I’m going to make the same drill and Slide the skate across or the piece of card across and all of a sudden what you’ll start to feel is how much higher your left hip is in your back

Swing now when you come back on the mat and you make the same back swing what you’re trying to feel is the height of that left hip and you will immediately feel it to start with this drill is not for the fainthearted you’ll need a decent core to be able to stabilize

Yourself and you’ll also feel you’ll have to orientate the left leg the left knee and the left hip to enable yourself to take the pressure off of it and to slide it across but you will all of a sudden feel how much High higher that left hip is and you’ll feel some real

Change in how the left hip works as I say the left shoulder but as much you’ll really start to get a sense of how the shoulder pitch will flatten and your arm plane will flatten off now if you have a good grip what you’ll probably end up

Finding is that you’ll hit down hit from the inside and have a little bit of a draw just like that to do give that a go I think you’ll find that’s good coaching
