Differentiating Hip Action and Knee Motion

jpgolf,

The Start Down is a Hip Action, not a Knee Motion. Substituting the latter for the former led to the Leg Drive Abyss of the '70s and '80s.

The function of the Legs -- the Knees and Feet -- is to keep the Head Stationary while operating through the Hips to Pull the Right Shoulder down On Plane.

Anything else is an aberration and should be avoided by thinking players.
