Thanks for your input.

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.
