Can you confirm the moves below for me please:- 1- the transition (squat move).

Peter R · · New Zealand
Can you confirm the moves below for me please:- 1- the transition (squat move) is triggered by a pressure shift from the trail foot resulting from the weight transfer during the backswing. 2- the squat move should be in the DIRECTION of the heel of the lead foot. So you end up sitting over the lead heel (with at least 50% weight transfer) putting the hip, knee and ankle into the neutral position. It is this move that starts the weight transfer to the lead side and the posting of the lead leg. 3- the squat move begins just before the arms reach the top of the back swing. When I am doing the squat to square I am leaving my weight evenly distributed over the full length of my lead foot and then try to get it to my heel during the posting of the leg. Thank you.

As the pressure shifts from 6 O'clock and moves to the inside of the foot you will facilitate weight transfer to the lead side and move into your squat position. As you start to squat the weight will move towards the ball of the lead foot, so the direction can work towards the lead heel in post up. You want to get about 70% of your weight back. You will start to squat/shift just before completing the backswing. Take a look at Tour Pro Downswing Sequence Drill to see how the pressure moves in the feet.
