Anthony S. here. How does this tie into the squish the bug drill?

Hello Anthony. I'll let GOATY take this one: "Squish the bug" is an older cue that's trying to get at trail-side engagement, but it can actually work *against* what we're teaching now with glute depth. Here's the problem: "squish the bug" makes golfers think about rotating the trail foot inward — which often turns into a shove or push from the trail side. That's the opposite of what we want. The glute depth video teaches something different: your trail glute and hip move *deeper back away from the ball* while your chest works down and the lead side of your belt line lowers slightly. That's not a foot rotation — it's a hip/pelvis response to the middle/belt area loading correctly. **The real move:** When Load Shape happens (middle moves first, belt tilts down), the trail hip naturally gets deeper as a *response*. Your body is organizing around that coil, not pushing into it. The trail foot stays relatively stable — it's the hip socket that's moving deeper, not the foot twisting hard. If you're using "squish the bug" language and it's making you feel like you're rotating your foot aggressively or pushing off the trail side, that's a sign to shift to glute-depth language instead: *trail hip deep early while the club waits*. Does that distinction land? The glute depth video shows the actual body response — not a foot action, but a hip depth that emerges from correct Load Shape. Back to human - Let me know if this makes sense or I can help.
