Not only does this golf swing move help you turn correctly in the golf swing, but it’s a move that the best players in the world are making to hit their driver longer and straighter. I thought that might get your attention. So, not only will this golf swing tip help you to turn in your golf swing, for anyone out there struggling with early extension, this could be the light bulb moment you’ve been waiting for.

If you press that, it gets this video trending to help more golfers hit their drivers longer and straighter as well. So, make sure you’re subscribed and hitting that hype button. So, the simple tip that’s going to help you hit your driver longer and straighter is all to do with your lead foot. And you might be thinking, how’s my lead foot going to help me turn better in my golf swing, maybe stop early extension, and hit this driver long and straight? Well, so many of you down that lens see slowed down swings on the TV on the weekends of great golfers getting into these lovely positions where their hips are open and you think, “Well, I have to do that.” So, when you’re next at the range, you start trying to turn your hips and go like this and it doesn’t really work. Well, you’re you shouldn’t have to think about hip turn. It should just happen because you’re doing something else in your swing. And that’s to do with your lead foot. Your lead foot should act as a braking system. So if we set up to the golf ball, first things that I want you to do is make sure that your lead foot is flared out towards the target a little bit. I don’t want to see your feet pointing at the t at the camera like this. We want a little bit of flare to this lead foot. That’s number one. Number two, this you can do without a golf club. You have to learn how to raise your heel a little bit in the back swing and then plant it as you’re starting your down swing. You don’t have to do a have a club in your hand for this. I don’t really want to put my club on the floor cuz it’s dewy and wet this morning. But we want to raise the heel a little bit and plant it. Raise the heel and plant it. But as you plant this heel, I want you to feel like and make this lead foot go more towards that straight position. So it’s flared out. As I start my back swing and go into my back swing, I lift my lead heel. You’ll see the best players of all time doing this. Jack Nicholas for instance, they’ll raise their lead heel in the back swing. This is going to help with turning in the back golf swing as well in the back swing because it just releases those hips and allows you to turn them a bit more creating a bit of a longer back swing, longer arc. Longer arcs only going to help you increase your club head speed to hit that golf ball further. So that’s number two. Number one, flare that foot out. Number two is raise that heel in the back swing. Number three is planting that heel in transition. And I want you to start planting it by twisting your lead foot. So your heel needs to move towards the target a little bit as you plant it back on the ground. That’s the important bit because if we keep our lead foot flared, okay, so my foot’s flared. I swing to the top of my swing. This allows me to travel towards the target and keep my feur, so the big bone in my upper body or leg here externally rotated. Now, if I’m externally rotated, the only way I can now go is up this way, that early extension. So, if I turn towards the camera here, I go up, my lead foot is still flared out. I slide towards the target. My lead, my femur is externally rotated. And then now all I can do is go this way to hit the golf ball. The important bit of putting that foot down with a little twist to get that foot now straight at the camera is that now my femur is internally rotated. This is the breaking force. This is what’s going to help you turn your hips without even thinking. So, I’m going lead foot flared. I’m raising my heel a little bit. And now I’m planting it with my heel going towards the target a little bit, which gets my lead femur internally rotated. Now I can’t slide. And all that ground is going to do is make me push up and open my hips. Okay. So, I’m here up to the top, plant my foot, and now I’m gonna go this way. Here’s my open hips. And if I turn this way again up to the top, raise my heel, plant my foot, internally rotate that femur, and now that ground’s going to push against me. And I’m going to start opening my hips. Opening my hips without even thinking about it. Just that simple little tweak to that lead foot and how you move it is going to change the way you turn in your golf swing and stop that early extension. So, let’s give it a try. And first things first, with or without a golf club, what I need you to do is learn that raising of the heel and sort of that sinking down and left with that heel moving towards the target. So, I’m setting myself up, raising the heel and sinking down to the left. And that should be like a rhythmic sort of motion. It’s here. Sink down and left as I get to the top of my golf swing and complete my back swing. Heel down, heel up and down. Heel up and down. Heel up, twist and down. Heel up, twist and down. And then you’re ready to go. Twill up, twist and down. And then as you get that sort of rhythm with the motion, hit a golf ball with it. And again, you can do this with your irons and driver as I know that will be a question. But this will definitely get you using that braking force, increasing your verticals, and getting you hitting that golf ball further up and sink. Awesome.
