What Does Perfect Leg Action Look Like In A Golf Swing – (Video) Lesson by PGA Pros Pete Styles and Matt Fryer

In this video tip PGA golf professionals Pete Styles and Matt Fryer help you to understand what the perfect leg action in a golf swing should look like. Generally speaking, a golfer should have a relatively passive leg action during the backswing phase which in turn should become a very dynamic leg action during the downswing phase. Passive legs during the backswing allow for a powerful turn of the upper body to be created over a stable base followed by a releasing of this power with a dynamic shift of the body weight and leg action through to a full balanced follow through in the downswing.

Right Pete probably an area that we wouldn't think about too much when was swinging the golf club and that is the legs and what they're going to do in the golf seing. What they do in the backswing what they do in the downswing because I don't know about you I've seen some pretty Elvis like I'm pretty funky actions throughout my time as a coach on funky I do good work out of things going on down now and I think the important point is a lot of people don't know what's going on there and don't constantly important overlooked there's a lot of for them to talk about the things we can see their hands a grip they arms what's going on here and actually it's the foundations and it's like calling it yeah it's going to be stable and we've got a golfer doing that we want to be consistent to be able the most for them to be powerful yeah we can do that and it's all the of her body action the the upper body just can't be built on a tripod here and have to do everything alone so yellow will hardly be functional but in a lot of work definitely work this is important it's not symmetrical we don't do the same thing one way to do it the other way. OK So we do different things on the backswing different things on the downswing

OK So if you can give us a couple of points what we're doing in the backswing is to this there's 2 key words passive and active right. OK like OK I'm going to go past the downswing going to go active. OK So in the backswing I want to make a big proper body heard the administering get the upper body really working and turning hard here which I would suggest either active open body but quite important passive lower heart yes if I were half enough young thing I'm sliding around so yeah I think that activity passive down here yeah and then it all got that bit right the active downswing like. The Right OK So just in the back swing there is your if we talked a little bit about weight in the feet is a seam passive it doesn't look like there's loads of weight shifting from side to side would you try and work on anything in particular was there a checkpoint you trying to cut flat for a stand on shot 50. 50 to start with left and right top of the backswing people of the U.K. We hear a lot of people about loading the rifle and swinging back with you on the way to see people get to the 90 percent by. The needs of collapse that needs to actively I will tell the sick and the Elvis like classically come in here there's too much going on here an effort to want to return all of them but I sort of pass a 6040 impassively. And then from active now we want to be active now we want to be dynamic if I feel this right our body weight on the instep OK I can push up my instep I can rotate out and I can be in this position prior to hitting the golf also before I actually have the gall to pull my legs in no way and I was dressed for that should know they really the last leg looked very strong to me looks like you've got something that you can really turn into and post against. And you through showing interfering popular as opposed to it being bent and a little bit lax front like it's rotated out of the way you feel like it's driving in and off the floor he'll go up into the air and much of the hitting the ball effectively feel like I'm still on one like I feel like a little bit like like yeah as a right they go for more relaxed you go on the flip side getting a life like to like to a finish here I mean it's one thing to like I can not see better yet the backswing very much happen not in a downswing it's very I did this sort of thing about like and then I did not like the looks of Ally style of play i'm not see I'm not one psycho bit turning one way right back through the other way yeah passive and then aggressive or active is a good way of thinking about you know leg action. Excellent now as you have gone past and you know passive into your aggressive action as you finished I would just say that the white change in throat yeah you shifted it like a driving motion I think of saw the shot put so if you were to think of one of those as they start that down swing as it were that pushing into the left off the right into the left so he's on the passive stage correct maybe 60 percent over here yeah and you going to finish 99 percent I mean here you have a clip of the big you know body right from the cross. That's not where the power comes in.

Yeah definitely, If you're passive passive you want any power yet also if you are active active you won't get a great deal of power out of for standard golfer. So we want to be able to build the power yet it really is a there's a lot of talk in our days and you know using the power from the ground gets ground up woods and you know you look at role repay people like that in the stuff they're doing in the gym a lot of it is core and also these legs so it's obviously going to be work and if we can use it in the right manner like you say we're going to really achieve a lot of power there so we're saying that we want to be passive on the way back turning into the insole here 60 40 and then from there driving off the trail forward into your lead foot and get active very dynamic and turning and holding and one thing I think you could do if you got the legs right you could almost lift a trail for off if you've done it correctly that was your goal that clearance of the body weight would make sure that you know anything really yet the great player bump out on that front side would be standing on one leg only. Fantastic so if you want to get your legs working right in your golf swing in the backswing and in the downswing like see if you can hit those 2 points and as Pete said there. Let's use those 2 phrases of passive and active passive in the backswing active in the through swing and into follow through hopefully you should see that you generate a little bit more power and you should get a more stable golf swing through there.
