Still Chunking It? Your Legs Are the Real Problem #golf #golfswing #golfer #golflife
In this Golf-Ed tutorial, the instructor explains how improper trail leg movement leads to chunked shots and lost power. He demonstrates how to use the trail leg as a catalyst for weight transfer using the 'Wall Drill' and a specific ball-placement drill to ensure ball-first compression.
Hanging on the back foot or spinning out with the trail foot are the primary causes of poor compression.
The trail heel should move away from its starting position toward the target, not drag or push backward.
True compression requires weight on the lead foot and the club shaft leading into impact.
The lower body must initiate the downswing while the shoulders momentarily stay back to create power.
A proper divot should start after impact, which is only possible with a correct weight shift.
