Clay, when do I shift weight/pressure from right to left? You mentioned half way through but I am uncertain what you mean or how I should employ it. Thanks, John
do your wrists stay stiff during the swing
That move is so great. I have been playing golf for 62 years and I have just discovered this technique of straightening the right leg and shifting to left leg sooner the way Ben Hogan did your video was awesome. Thank you so much. Brad
this is so helpful~! and it would be great--and helpful--if you used 'trail leg'/'front leg' instead of left/right.
for us left-handers out there~!
Consistency off the tee is my crypto night! I try to keep my thoughts few and simple - this video is GREAT, load the right, use the ground and follow through. Looking for drills I can do to reinforce these movements so they become natural and not forced
Thanks for inviting Clay to Golfpass. I've been a Top Speed member for several years now. Great instructor!
this was a great tip. I will definitely try it out.
I love that video. I think we have made more people get hurt by restricting that leg movement with the lower body. I hope people know that when you say straighten the right leg you don't mean lock. Then they have lost all that power.
Great stuff.
Hey Clay
Great tip! Should this swing design be worked on off the tee only or you think it can be accomplished with any club that is going to be hit full?
