The left leg being extended allows the hips to keep turning and allows for more slide.


Great picture of Hogan and Tiger. Right arm and club are in the same place, but chest and left shoulder locations are much different and so are right knee and right hip positions. One of those 2 has much more slide and standing up than the other.

For now, anyway.

"For now anyways". Hmmm. Do you know something we dont know Slice?

The Legs as Levers is a MORAD thing Im thinking. Not sure. Both camps would want the Left Leg to straighten somewhat but Homer didnt even consider Double Anchor to be a necessarily bad thing. He, of "no one best way". In Lynns first telephone conversation with Homer , he would not take the bait to it being a bad thing. There are saggy knee practitioners in the Hall of Fame after all.

When my back is bad I get Double Anchor for some reason. My back extends but my knee stays bent and wobbles. I hate it. I'll try anything to get rid of it.

Hogan 5 fundamentals pg 107
"As regards the legs,a geat many golfer think that
classical style prescribes that, at impact and throughout
the follow-through, the left leg should be as straight as
a stick. Definitely not. If you keep your left leg straight,
you prohibit your hips from making their full turn and
restrict the whole free flow of your body to the left. When
your weight doesn't get sufficiently transferred to the left,
your arc is cramped, and your body, arms and hands cannot
release the full power they're capable of pouring into the
shot."

Hogan was a wise man.

Good quote. A straight knee is not optimal for impact. Neither is a front toe pointing straight at the target line.
