One of the important videos online. The right big toe bones 'rotate' away from the target in the downswing, rotating the body towards the target. The left big toe bones 'rotate' towards the target once the weight has shifted sufficiently, rotating the body away from the target. These motions counteract. The only way out is the upward escape movement. (Think ballet dancer). This happens before impact as you want to have max elevation at impact. Through impact the right big toe bones continues to ' rotate' through and the left toe/foot stabilizes. (The outside rotation of the inner forefoot of both feet counterbalances/opposes (actio/reactio) the inside rotation of the femur bones of both legs in the hip joints - which is needed for the 'jump')
New swing as in referencing this alternative instruction to using your legs in the downswing? My golf swing hurts my lower back as well, so I am trying to look at alternative swing methods.
Very helpful video. Thanks. When I try to incorporate the squat on the downswing I tend to hit fat shots. So from a real vs feel perspective how much flexion are we talking about?
Great job Larry. In terms of torque in the trail leg, should I feel that torque (with the right foot feeling as it turns outwards) in the backswing as I am supposed to feel it doing in the downswing?
I've always heard the squat move should be 50-50 in weight. Is that 70-80% on the trail foot just a "feel" for those who move onto their left foot too early and the "real" would be more 50-50, or are you saying the "real" should be 70-80%? Thanks!

Today I played a practice round for 2021 US Open local qualifying and on #6 330 yd par 4 and Aced it. No back pain with new swing. Thank you
great good luck!

👍👍 another great lesson! Thanks!
Got ya! Thanks for helping me out👍🏻

depends on the player how much they need, everyone's real is different =)
this really works for greater distance!

start the downswing, don't do it in the backswing =)
Thanks Larry. 👍

From backswing to squat. I know you are exaggerating the squat but how are you not hitting fat behind the ball or as pushing up not topping the ball?
just because the legs are on its way up doesn't mean the club is also on its way up =)
