Despite much practice and your swing reviews, I can not get the post up correct.

Doug P · · United States
Despite much practice and your swing reviews, I can not get the post up correct. And the more I study your material the more confused I get. Help, please. 1) Videos of RST instructors and the commentary appear to show & also say that the squat comes in the downswing. 2) However, in the video "The Post Up Move - How to Use Lead Leg for Power and Maintain Posture", it clearly shows Tiger & Rory squatting on the backswing. I can do the #2 (latter sequence) but I can not do #1 (the former) in rhythm/sequence. I keep trying to master the #1 sequence and my swing gets worse - I can not do it. But if I squat in backswing, I do much better. What should I do. Please help in my sequencing and/or help clear up my misunderstanding. Thanks.

Hello Doug. You need to load in the backswing, but you don't want to squat as you go back. It sounds like you are missing the component that the lower half will start first. What I mean is that the downswing will start just before completing the backswing. The squat in the downswing is a position you move through and not one to get stuck on. I would try doing it in sequential pieces. Take a look at Play the Best Golf of Your Life in 6 Weeks 4 of 6. The chunks will allow you to train positionally and then blend.
