In this video TPI co-founder Dr. Greg Rose describes how the most powerful golfers in the world use their lead foot and leg to maximize ground reaction forces. Add Greg’s drill to your training program and watch your sequencing improve and your ball speed skyrocket.

Another awesome explanation and super useful drill. Thank you!
Simple and effective !
Loving the content you guys are putting out
Awesome! How about drills for the back leg? Or both legs?
Thanks
I have a weak leas knee due to football injury of meniscus and mcl tears. Definitely my Achilles heel in the swing…… I’m not sure how to work around it.
I have a question about the trail foot in this mechanic. I know that the trail foot "pulls" into the ground in most swings, as demonstrated by Scottie's trail foot sliding backwards. I'm just struggling on understanding when exactly to apply that "pull" force. It feels natural to do it at the same instant as the pushing force from the lead leg, but in a lot of slow-mo swings, it appears as though the lead leg pushes AFTER the trail foot pulls. Should I try to feel these forces simultaneously in both feet, or is there some particular sequencing involved?
Love this. Please keep giving us drills, especially ones we could do on the range/at home. Understanding the move is one thing, putting parameters in place to practice exactly what we're trying to achieve is an entirely different animal!
So, do an explosive lunge, got it.
Thankyou for this video and the short game spin one just posted . Always love your content .Absolute best 🤩⛳️
LOVE THIS CHANNEL! More please!
That last movement is exactly what Scottie Sheffler does with his legs – I thought he might be quite good
These are great videos but my man needs some cardio.
Fascinating!! I am old, in my 70’s, but I have to try this!! I’m sure my swing already looks funny. So what do I have to lose??
Just wow! Nobel prize for teaching ground forces !!no one on YT has explained this complicated subject …. In this fashion.
This channel has such well explained and simplified information compared to anyone else I’ve seen try to teach ground reaction force. Keep up the amazing work and content. Watching from Kildare, Ireland 🇮🇪 a stones throw for the K Club .
How come no coach ever tells you this ? Folks at GRF do – only ones on YT
Would love to see a TPI assessment of a typical amateur golfer like me in my 60's and struggling with distance…I know Dr. Rose's time is precious, but this would go a long way to us more common golfers especially those with Early Extension issues!! Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Nothing but hogwash. Complete BS.
Do you have drills for this if you do not have access to a medicine ball?
When you make a swing you don't have to push and it all happens rhythmically.
It's funny, but Ernie Els seems to have been doing that pushback/ jump back look with his left leg in the past couple of years (and maybe started doing it around 15 years ago in 2010). https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fUD5Npfc9To
Question, how does one use this push off/twist motion with the front leg, but also finish on the front foot/not finish on the back foot?
Love it 👊
Bit confused by this. If the lead foot is pushing forward, how come it goes backward? I have always felt that the glutes pull the hips (and lead leg) backwards using friction of foot and ground. The hips then pull the lead foot back for those who "jump".
If you were to try to push forward on a slippy surface, the lead foot would slip forward, not backward! You can, of course, push down with the lead leg and I think that this is more helpful. You get very little force pushing forward or backward when the lead leg is near vertical just using small muscles in the lower leg.
I've been watching these most recent videos about ground reaction forces and foot work and each time I'm left with the same question; are these (is this) drill more aimed at driver technique and improvement or full swing irons? Kind of seems like driver . . .
BS
Shocked how incredibly difficult this drill was
Thank you TPI, Dr. Greg Rose and Titleist
Why is it easier to push off the ground when your kneeling vs standing
Good news is most people jump off their left foot even if right handed!
