The role of your legs in the golf swing. Now, clearly they work together, but they also have an individual job to do. The trail leg, what we're looking to do is load, create stretch, and a little bit of elevation going back as we create pressure against the ground, load the hip, and then allow the upper body to continue that stack system of rotation up and around.

You feel the core load against the trail quad, the glutes working, that gives you stability, power, and the ability to create an awesome transition. Because from here, the whole body's in stretch, the left side of the body, the lats, everything's working. So, naturally, we use that stretch reflex from the top, we push from that trail leg, that fires the glute, that starts that rotation down, but also we pull from the lead side.

So, all of a sudden, we got that push-pull, we've got an awesome transition
