The Power of the Lead Leg: Understanding Vertical Force in the Golf Swing 

Thank you! We will be uploading a new video weekly!

Glad you found it helpful! Keep grinding.

Glad it was helpful! All the best!

Glad it was helpful!

Staying on the balls of the feet and keeping the legs tall is plenty, jumping tends to lead to early extension which isn’t good on growing joints.

@@measuredgolf thanks, he doesn't get airborne, but adding verticals has definitely cleaned up the slide , also has helped him not early extend, what was making him early extend was getting on the toes to early with trail foot , and pushing laterally ,thanks

Thanks for the comment and hope you played well in your tourney!

@@measuredgolf LOL. I did not. However it's the first time I've played there and the pins were tucked in naughty places. LOL But we will be back.

Thank you!

As long as the cc twist with the lead foot is happening through the ball of the foot and not the heel, you should be good.

@@measuredgolf thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it

@@measuredgolf where are you based?

@@GothamGolf Ann Arbor, Michigan, but we also travel with the plates a good amount as well.

If the player allows the center of pressure to move more away from the target than necessary based off posting style, than they will require additional horizontal force (thrust) to try and get back in front of the ball. This tends to shoot the lower body forward and the upper body has to right side bend to try and manage low point. This is why measuring each legs contribution to the horizontal force production and posting style based off pressure application is key to creating a safe and efficient motion.

Great algorithms think alike!

Some players do move more up and down with their structure than others. However, I am talking about ground reaction forces which is force production (kinetics) and not the anatomy moving up and down (kinematics). We have to push against the ground to use it, hard to push and move closer to the ground at the same time. All the best.

Sorry to hear that
