Proper Trail Knee Movement in the Downswing | Common Mistakes & Drills

The trail knee plays a crucial role in an efficient golf downswing. To generate power and consistency, the trail knee should move toward the target, maintaining flexion while allowing the lower body to rotate properly. Avoid common mistakes like early extension (where the knee straightens too soon) and swaying (where the knee moves laterally instead of rotating).

In this video, we compare two incorrect trail knee movements with the correct movement for an efficient downswing. Plus, we demonstrate two simple drills to help improve your lower body mechanics, increase hip rotation, and develop a more powerful and consistent ball strike.

If you struggle with early extension, losing posture, or lateral slide, these drills will help you achieve a more stable and athletic downswing.
