Gain Power & Consistency with this Simple Drill to Keep Your Trail Foot Down at Impact

🏌️‍♂️ Keeping the trail foot down longer during the downswing can significantly increase club head speed and power.

💪 Extending the trail knee while keeping the foot grounded helps in utilizing ground reaction forces for a more powerful swing.

🎯 Swaying towards the target with the hips and extending the trail knee optimizes the follow-through and improves shot distance.

⛳ Practicing the motion slowly without the ball helps in mastering the technique before applying it in actual swings.

00:00:00 - welcome, everybody, to, fix, my, fault, I, got my, student, Lexi, here, we're, going, to, work on, some, power, so, uh, really, connecting with, that, trail, heel, and, what, it, needs to, do, on, the, downswing, to, just, increase some, power, for, you, there, Lexi, I'm, sure everyone, out, there, wants, to, hit, the, ball further, so, this, is, really, for, anybody that, wants, to, increase, some, Club, head speed, and, hit, the, ball, further, down, the

00:00:20 - Fairway, or, towards, the, green, or, really wherever, how, about, that, sounds [Music] great, so, uh, I, have, to, describe, the pattern, a, little, bit, first, now, with, that trail, foot, what, you're, going, to, be, doing is, keeping, it, down, on, the, ground probably, for, longer, than, what, you, would expect, especially, with, anything, on, the down, swing, related, so, um, right, about when, your, arms, parallel, to, the, ground, to the, club, parallel, to, the, ground, kind, of

00:00:47 - in, between, right, about, there, is, actually where, that, trail, knee, starts, to, extend and, what, I, mean, by, extend, I'm, meaning, by straightening, okay, okay, so, when, you actually, go, up, onto, the, toe, with, your foot, your, Trail, foot, it's, really, hard, to extend, that, trail, knee, because, of, the fact, that, you're, just, not, extending, all the, joints, there, so, not, only, is, that trail, foot, going, to, be, important, for, you

00:01:12 - all, just, to, make, sure, that, we, can, get some, ground, forces, that's, a, really popular, term, right, now, in, golf, is, some ground, reaction, forces, and, drive, it, from the, ground, up, but, really, what, that's giving, is, just, more, power, ability, to sway, towards, the, target, turn, the, hips Bend, backwards, all, the, good, things, to just, increase, some, Club, head, spe, there okay, so, what, I, want, you, to, do, so, we're going, to, take, that, ball, away, from, you

00:01:33 - anytime, you're, trying, to, do, something within, the, golf, swing, make, sure, you're just, taking, the, ball, away, and, just, doing it, really, slow, to, see, if, you, can, do, the motion, the, first, place, so, go, with, the the, club, being, about, parallel, to, the ground, right, there, there, you, go, and, what I, want, you, to, do, is, go, to, your, follow through, and, stop, and, what, I, want, to, make sure, that, you're, doing, is, extending, that

00:01:52 - trail, knee, as, much, as, you, can, and, you're going, to, start, seeing, that, foot, is, down on, the, ground, oh, okay, but, also, I, don't need, you, to, be, say, keeping, the, sways away, from, the, target, we've, talked, about that, before, it, really, hinders, our, low Point, yeah, so, you, need, to, make, sure, that your, sways, are, towards, the, target, you're there, you, go, that, trail, knee, is, extended and, and, the, only, part, that's, really

00:02:16 - going, to, be, down, on, the, ground, is, a, lot of, the, inside, part, of, that, trail, foot right, there, okay, so, is, it, bad, if, my, heel comes, off, the, ground, uh, not, necessarily you, just, want, to, keep, it, as, close, to, the ground, as, possible, okay, when, we, first started, you, saw, that, knee, Bend, and, you were, up, on, your, toe so, this, allows, and, get, a, lot, more, say push, off, the, grounding, that, that, joint there, different, feel, no, no, no, no, not, yet

00:02:39 - not, yet, let's, go, ahead, and, do, the, club parallel, to, the, ground okay, there, you, go, and, then, extend, that trail, knee, there, you, go, and, let's, go ahead, and, do, it, a, little, bit faster nice, extend, that, trail, knee, really, push towards, the, target, with, the, hip, sway, and everything good, nicely, done, I, still, feel, my, heel coming, off, the, ground, it, feels, so unnatural, to, keep, it, down, and, that's fine, that's, the, sway, is, moving, towards

00:03:10 - the, target, so, you're, going, to, be, more, on the, inside, part, of, that, trail, foot, than say, staying, flat, on, that, trail, foot, by any, means, technically, our, sways, are moving, 3.1, in, towards, the, Target, by, the time, we, hit, the, ball, anyways, so, they need, to, be, more, towards, a, Target, and that's, fine, if, you, feel, just, more, on, the inside, part, of, that, trail, foot, than, say like, your, whole, entire, foot, okay, so, go

00:03:30 - ahead, and, do, a, couple, more, then, we'll, go ahead, and, hit, a, couple, shots, out, there good, nice, extend, and, keep, it straight, nice, all, right, let's, go, ahead and, hit, a, ball, out, there

00:03:51 - yes, good, let's, do, it, one, more, time, he still, came, off, the, ground, the, heel, came off, the, ground, a, little, bit, but, again that's, a, lot, of, sway, just, keep, focusing especially, if, you're, stopping, at, the follow, through, position, look, back, at that, trail, foot, and, just, make, sure, that your, uh, Trail, foot, is, more, on, the, inside and, just, closer, to, the, ground, but, that trail, knee, is, really, extended, right there, should, I, feel, like, I'm, like, you

00:04:15 - were, saying, that, this, is, to, help, me, push off, the, ground, more, should, I, feel, like my, back, foot, is, pushing, off, the, ground Bingo, yeah, that', be, a, really, good feeling

00:04:25 - there good, excellent, shot, there, nice, little push, draw, nice, and, one, more okay, and, then, pause, on, the, follow through, on, this, one, good, so, now, you, can look, back, at, your, Trail, leg, just, to, see if, it's, extended, this, is, a, really optimal, position, there, there, you, go there's, the, feeling, of, pushing, off, the last, thing, that, you, want, so, go, back, to your, follow, through, now, bend, that knee, right, and, then, go, out, on, your

00:04:56 - toe, there's, going, to, be, all, problems that, occur, because, that, yeah, it's, not comfortable, at, all, okay, so, that, can allow, you, to, start, pushing, off, the ground, increase, some, Club, head, speed control, some, sways, so, many, good, things that, really, increase, that, that, distance uh, overall, for, you, I'll, definitely, keep working, on, it, and, everything [Music]
