Three Easy Drills To Fix Your Legwork
Positioning your legs properly acts as the first step in utilizing your lower body muscles effectively during routine golf swings.
Establishing a good swing stance will enhance your natural posture during swings, often expanding the existing power you’re normally able to expel during your existing swing.
Utilizing your lower body during golf swings will assist in the development of muscle memory throughout your body, which will ultimately create a natural feel to your movements.
In this video Eric shows us how to use our feet in our golf swing with 3 easy drills.
What moves first in the golf downswing?
The first move down should be a transfer of your weight to your front leg from the ground up as the lower body leads the upper body.
Follow along with Steve Elkington as he breaks it down, including how to get maximum leverage into impact.
Here’s a simple index finger drill for anybody struggling, early releasing, maybe scooping through the impact zone. Club heads sort of in front of your hands. You’re really struggling with contact. When you do contact it well you’ll be getting high weak ball flights. You’ll be losing distance.
Here’s the key. I want you to be really aware of the weight of the club head. How that puts pressure on your index finger of your right hand. So in the transition I want you to feel how the swinging movement of the club head is increasing the pressure on this finger.
Now if you’re doing this, you’ll be creating a little more lag angle. The club head will naturally come down a little more behind your hands, the shaft leaning forward. You’ll get a more penetrating ball flight. You’ll be able to compress the ball a little more, improving your ball contact. So really be aware of the feeling in your index finger of your right hand. And try to feel the pressure increasing on that finger as your making the transition.
Everybody wants to add more distance, but is there a simple way to add it without changing your swing? Using this simple power source that is literally at your feet, you can start adding more distance to your golf drives instantly!

Most golfers are told to TURN their hips aggressively to initiate the downswing. This action is causing you to spin-out of shots, swing over the top, approach the ball at a steep angle and chop at impact, and have a painful looking follow-through.
What’s the fix? Well, you’ve been told to TURN, TURN, TURN, your whole golfing life. Turning is an overused word. Let’s focus on the way the best ball strikers in history initiate the downswing. Yes, the downswing STARTS WITH THE HIPS but we’re looking at the LATERAL motion of the hips. This is CRUCIAL to your downswing being on the proper path to the ball.
The hips should LEAD the downswing in a LATERAL motion first. All great players demonstrate the hips moving toward the target before turning them. The hips don’t start turning until much later in the downswing!
