Load Right Leg in Golf for Stability, Safety - ffo

Some members from the forum have asked the question, "If you're not going to push off the right side in the downswing, then why bother loading the right glute?" It's a very good question and I answer it in this video.

• The "Reverse C" posture taught by many golf instructors in the '60s and '70s is hard on the hips
• Pushing off the right foot creates the Reverse C, putting the left hip well beyond neutral where it is easily damaged
• Pulling with the left-side musculature keeps the hip in neutral, allowing you to pivot safely
• Loading into the right glute in the backswing provides stability in the swing
• The right glute isn't storing power for a push, but supporting the aggressive rotation of the upper body
