Warren Bennett from Warren Bennett Golf Academy demonstrates how proper lead hip and knee movement during the backswing prevents a rushed golf swing. By allowing the lead knee and hip to move slightly inward rather than locking over the target side, golfers create the space and tempo needed for a synchronized downswing transition.
Avoid locking your lead hip over the ball during the backswing, which blocks rotation and causes a rushed transition.
Allow your lead knee and lead hip to move slightly inward toward your trail shoe while maintaining head stability over the ball.
Creating proper lead-side depth in the backswing gives your club and body time to sequence properly on the downswing.
Use a simple door frame exercise at home to master the feeling of proper hip rotation and timing.
