I used Hyo Joo Kim’s awesome swing to illustrate the magic third leg of golf. Imagine you had a third leg sticking out behind your front foot. This is the foot you leverage against and drive into the ground through impact. With this third leg you could maintain a straight line through your leg and spine, instead of having a bend at the waist as we do in the golf stance. This is the secret to golf. Watch every good player and you’ll see this imaginary leg.
We don’t rotate well with a bend at our waist. When we do, we need a universal joint because it’s rotating and bending at the same time. If you imagine you’re not bent, that you’re standing on the imaginary third leg – you’re standing straight and can rotate easily.
Dustin Johnson, Cameron Champ, Rory McIlroy, Joaquín Niemann and Tommy Fleetwood all swing this way.
