Left Heel.
-Master- ( Changed 28/10/2007)
Most high handicapped
golfers allow the left heel to lift off the ground as they make
a back swing movement simply because it makes it easier to complete
a "full back swing"
However, a back swing movement that is carried out whilst keeping
the heel of the left foot firmly on the ground, builds up the torsion
of the muscles to their maximum with a shorter back swing movement.
In addition, it will also result in the ball going further and
with better control than a back swing movement which allows the
left heel to lift off the ground.
By keeping the heel firmly on the ground, it allows you to
consistently achieve the maximum amount of torsion within the muscles
of the body every time you perform a full
back swing movement, subsequently this gives the golfer a consistent
level of energy to expend as the down swing movement is performed,
thus allowing the golfer to accurately predict
the distances the ball will fly through the air for any particular
golf club.
But in addition, by keeping the left foot
firmly on the ground, keeping the head firmly held slightly behind
the ball, it also restricts the swaying effect of the upper body
as the back swing movement is performed.
So if you wish to have a consistent swing
movement, you must not allow the heel of the left foot to lift off
the ground during the back swing movement.
