Right knee sag
From my visit to Shirley, NY one of my swing flaws is that my right knee sags through impact. In an effort to control this during practice I am trying to keep my right foot fully planted for as long as possible. Do you think I'm on the right track or am I creating a new problem? Thanks for your input.

Learning The Right Knee Anchor...And More

To improve your Right Knee Anchor, focus first on Chips and short Pitches (say, 10-15 yards). Here, there is not sufficient Pivot Action to pull the Right Heel off the ground, and it is therefore proper to keep your Foot planted. When you graduate to the longer Shots, you should allow your Right Heel to be pulled off the ground (but not lifted off). Check my night-time Six-Iron and Driver videos in The Gallery to see the correct action.

Not only will you be able to more effectively monitor your Feet and Knees in these short Shots, you will also be teaching your Hands -- the Flat Left Wrist and Clubhead Lag Pressure Point -- how to hit the Ball dead straight. This education will carry over into your long Shots as you add the full Pivot, and you will find your accuracy improved, perhaps even dramatically.

I learned the above technique from a tournament player of some repute who developed his game doing exactly that. His name?

Lee Trevino.

Perfect, a Mexican role model. I didn't think you knew I was 1/2 Mexican.

Nice photo Richard!

Notice how the inside of Trevino's feet is still on the ground -- evidence that it's being pulled off rather than lifted. The right heel has remained on the ground while the outside part of his feet is being pulled off.

If you look at tour players these days, quite a lot of them do not go through this foot position. Instead, their right foot gets lifted off straight away, without any rolling onto the inside. Example: Tiger Woods (especially with Driver). Any ideas anyone?

Thank you thank you very much.

Every picture tells a story don't it? Rod Stewart

And this picture spins one heck'uva yarn. Check out the wrist conditions. How about the On-Plane Right Forearm Flying wedge? How about the Level Left Wrist that will be FULLY Uncocked to Full Lever Extension? How about the Anchors? How about the Tripod? Can't you just feel the the PP3 pressure?

If you think I'm sexy and you want my body . . . Woo Woo Woo Wooooo Woooo!

I think I'm going to the Rock Barn Senior Event. I gotta see Lee Buck before he gives it up and turns it loose or takes the dirt nap.
