I was wondering what TGM's take was on the snaping straight of the left leg through impact. ALOT!!! of tour players do it, and it seems like the best kept secret. AK does snaps his leg straight before impact, while Tiger does it just post impact. Im have been trying mercilessly to accomplish this but i havent had much luck. I think i know how its done in but when i try to put it into practice, it doesnt work at all.

There isnt a Jumping out of the stance at all i think, What it is is, when your weight is heavily on your front leg, and you turn against it, you get the sensation of it starting to straight. I think that this is how it is done, you plant your left leg, and then you turn in some way to snap ur left leg straight.

What you all think?
If anybody has a swing where you snap your left leg that be great.

Whew!

Your post leads us back -- however indifferently -- to Bobby Jones, the '20s and the 'straight left side'.

Indeed, your Left Knee characterization leads us to believe it acts:

"Mercilessly" . . .

"Jumping" . . .

"Snapping". . .

Please, take a breath.

Then consider:

Hip Slide/Turn dictates Knee Action.

Not vice versa.

All while the Head remains Centered.

Think about it.



Everybody post. I'll be back when I can.
