Maintain pressure on the insteps of both feet. The back muscles must coil like a spring.
The right leg should retain the pressure of the upper body coil, much like a spring being coiled; one end must be held stationary while the other end is torqued.
Push the right knee inward before starting the backswing. Allowing the right knee to move to the right forces the instep to raise up. This causes fat shots and a power loss (the left knee for the left-hand golfer).
Think of the right knee as a post on the backswing. The knee maintains a great deal of resistance from the turn of the upper body, creating the power that is needed to propel the golf ball.
I find that most golfers find it easier to push both knees slightly toward each other throughout the backswing.
Don’t forget to enjoy this great game called golf.
