All bad golf is played off the back foot @justinjamesgolf 2017 World Long Drive Champion

Smart2move features 2017 World Long Drive Champion Justin James explaining why playing off the back foot destroys contact and distance. The video highlights how shifting weight and ground pressure to the lead foot in the downswing leads to solid impact and explosive driver power.

• Avoid hanging back on the trail foot during impact to prevent fat and thin strikes.
• Initiate the downswing by shifting pressure forward onto the lead foot early.
• Complete hip rotation over the lead leg to maximize distance and maintain balance.
