all right I want to talk to you about something called torque now let me explain real quick what torque is torque is twisting force right in our golf swing we are twisting we’re twisting this way we’re twisting this way we’re twisting this way now this might seem like Captain Obvious but a lot of players don’t do this okay if I was going to apply a torque imagine I was going to take this club and I was going to twist the club i can do this i can push with my right and then pull with my left that would create a torque or I can do them both at the same time what do you think’s more powerful hopefully you’re thinking “Well I would do both at the same time to be more powerful if I took one and the other that would wouldn’t make sense.” It’s like imagine you’re trying to open up a bottle cap you don’t just try and do this side and then do this side you do both at the same time it creates more torque let me show you what the best players in the world do in their golf swing okay so on the left over here I’ve got one of the biggest hitters on the LPGA right and I’m looking at her horizontal torque how much she twists right what I’ve got is I’ve got her left foot here and I got her right foot here okay so think about this when you’re twisting I’m going to push my right foot i’m going to push the ground back with my right foot and forward with my left foot and that creates this counterclockwise right if I watch her swing and watch this is the left foot this is the right foot notice there’s where the right foot peaks and it’s at the same time the left foot peaks so she’s doing them both at the same time right she’s spinning the cap with both sides right if I go look at amateurs right i’m going to look at this amateur here on the right over here and I do the same thing with her and I look to see when does she push to the right there’s where she pushes with her right now if I keep going now she pushes with her left right that’s not at the same time that’s her trying to push right and then push left it’s never going to create the same amount of torque so one of the keys here one of the secrets here is using both your feet in the golf swing and when it comes to horizontal torque is we’re trying to push at the same time it creates what’s called a force couple and that’s where we get our maximum power

Would have been better if he demonstrated! We know what pros do
I think a drill or even a feeling on how to achieve that dual foot torque would be helpful.
Ok so how do you do this? One or two simple drills?
