Right Knee Control Lesson by PGA Pro Tom Stickney
Right Knee Control Lesson by PGA Pro Tom Stickney Tom Stickney - A Top 100 Golf Teacher Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher

Hi I'm Tom Stickney and today I want to talk to you about body stability. You know one of the biggest issues dusty with amateur golfers is this loose motion downstairs and the rear knee can straighten too much it can slide too much that compromises where the weight goes on the rear foot. So what we'd like to see is reasonable stability on the rear knee if you take it back if you can see to a certain position as I take it back or coil around the rear knee it can straighten a little bit but it just can't slide. We really don't want to see the weight go to the outside of the rear foot.

I prefer to see the weight kind of stay on the front inside portion of the rear foot and what that does is that coils you up and gets you ready and gives you something to push off of. If you think about throwing a baseball you plant you turn into a firm flex rear knee the weight stays right here so you can move through it. In golf it is the same way so if you're dancing around like Elvis you feel the weight go to the outside of your rear foot or even the outside of your rear heel you're going to tend to hang back you're going to have faulty impacts and you tend to hit all over. So remember control that rear knee in route to the top all the way through your going to be a better player.
