This is a move that will change your game! Not ...
The pros know this movement is essential to getting the club on plane, maximizing speed, and hitting long straight bombs. And it all starts with your trail hip and knee. Notice how each of these players straighten their right knee and turn deep into their hip as they finish their backswing. This is a power move which helps load the club, maximize turn, and create ideal conditions to drop the club on plane. When this posting up of the trail leg is done properly, you should feel your knee straighten, your trail hip and glute push slightly behind you, and your weight shift into your heel. This creates space for the club to drop on plane and allows you to push off the ground and let the club go. One of my favorite exercises to train this movement is called a modified stork turn. For this exercise you will stand in golf posture, one knee straight and one knee flexed with feet slightly staggered. Allow your hips to rotate as far as possible into internal rotation on the straight leg side, performing slowly and trying to sink further into the stretch while keeping your hips backward. You can also use an anchor for your upper body to allow for more activation of the abdominals and help you explore the space of your posterior hip capsule, trying to push deeper into the turn on each repetition with a hold.
