Getting Through The Golf Ball Can Be Improved With 1 Simple Move! Improve Your Turn & Follow-through
Mark Solomon from Golf Made Simple demonstrates how flaring the lead foot at setup can significantly improve hip rotation and follow-through. By adopting the 13-degree average flare used by PGA Tour pros, amateur golfers can clear their hips more effectively, reduce the risk of knee and lower back injuries, and fix 'over the top' swing patterns.
Most amateur golfers keep their lead foot too square, which physically locks the hip and restricts the follow-through.
PGA Tour pros flare their lead foot an average of 13 degrees to facilitate easier rotation through the ball.
Flaring the lead foot reduces mechanical stress and potential injury to the ankle, knee, and lower back.
A restricted hip turn caused by a square foot often leads to an 'over the top' swing path.
Simply turning the lead foot outward 15-20 degrees can increase power and distance without changing the swing itself.
