Knee Action and Rolling Foot Action
 

I was checking out some footage of Lee Buck through the ball. He definitely employs 10-16-C Right Anchor Knee Action and also 10-17-B Flat Foot Action at least through the Impact Interval and well into follow-through. His right heel stays down and you can just see the first row of spikes under his right shoe through the shot.

On the Golf Channel the other night they had on Jim Flick (who actually had a chick hitting left hand only shots keeping her wrist flat - uh yeah!). He was demonstrating knee and ankle action through the ball. He advised that the right ankle be more rolled through the ball, the right knee stay "behind" the left knee, and that the right heel not "pop" out and up quickly.

What is the advantage of this type of foot and knee action? Since Lee Buck is a hitter is this type of Knee and Foot action more compatible to hitting? Or can it be used in Swinging as well?

Holla fo a $.

Baker's dozen,

Go to impact fix, pirouette on the right toe allowing the right heel to go out and around. Notice the tendancy for the head to move forward and the right shoulder to move out? See how the angle of approach is ruined? Now, assume impact fix and move the right heel closer to the target and LOOK, LOOK, LOOK...coccyx moves closer to the target, head back, perfect axis tilt, right shoulder down on plane, angle of approach and impact alignments .....OH YEAH!!!!!!

Cool!!!! This is very helpful. I have been diving forward losing axis tilt. In Swinging, what causes the right heel to move closer to the target? Is it the motion of the feet? Knees? or Hips?

Thanks man as always!

Bump!

Would like to hear other comments on this interesting topic please!

Thanks

Very cool thread, thanks for bumping Bergsey!

Keeping more of the right foot on the ground aids tremendously with balance.

Bump again!
 

Guys i think this is a really valuable topic.... any other views on the correct knee and foot action?

over the top
 

This is I feel one VERY sound action,if I read this correct this would be a major factor in also defeating the onset of the dreaded over the top move as it keep you more on plane for downswing,and even if there was a tendency to hit from top it would also assist in keeping you more on plane to a degree and attack the back of the ball.Opinions please.

I agree with u bergsey ,But nobody responding.Ever get the feeling that we are ALONE.lol

In swinging the right foot is moved in the follow through as a result of the rest of the machine moving.The right ankle is before the right toes in the chain,therefore it is pulled forward (toward target),then up .It is a reaction and it does not push.
