Need a Drill to keep my legs......Quiet..Help!!!
 
I have seen recently on video that my legs are too active. It seems a bit that I am "driving" my legs instead of allowing them to be moved, or pulled by the momentum of the swing. Back foot is comming up too soon.

Please send a drill...

BTW do you like a ball between the legs or straps around the legs (I saw C. Howell doing this to keep his legs quiet, so he says).

thanks

swing bow legged . . . or feel like that anyway.

That raises a question for me. To the extent you feel some subtle pressure in your legs, do you want to feel like the legs are pressing toward each other, inward, or away from each other, outward?????

Outward. Sounds like from your description that you may be "overcommitting" your right leg. So you need to "feel like" you are dropping a ball from between your knees. Or like you are putting pressure into the ground with your right foot as well as your left.

Without a club just simply hop off the ground . . . feel that? A little like that.

Similar to Bucket, I found pushing my knees slightly apart, as slight as possible, and keeping them like that in the backswing helped with this a great deal.

I also like to set up with 60% of my weight on my front foot and found it helped alot, got this advice from my AI, but am not sure if it stock TGM.

A "Yoda Special" - put a dowel through your front belt loops, or strapped across your thighs. If you get too quick or out of sequence, you'll be blocked out by the dowel. It will force you to get the arms and club moving down plane and help prevent round housing.

I have the same problem. My hips use to and stil sometimes are pointed to left field before I've started the club down.

Throwing a medicine ball with two hands has helped me. Gives me the feel that the body is being pulled to the finish.

One thing that could help is to realize that the lower body does not contribute a lot of the power to the golf swing. When you understand that the lower body's role is predominately stability oriented and not speed oriented then you are in a place where drilling will help. If you do not develop this understanding you can drill all you want and when you want to hit the ball far your lower body will work too quickly, leading to an out of sequence pivot.
