Left Heel (
and Right Heel). (
Changed - 15/11/2010)
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.
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 also restricts the swaying effect of the upper
body as the back swing movement is performed.
So if you wish to have a consistent back
swing movement, you must not allow the heel of the left foot to
lift off the ground.
Right Foot.
In addition, during the down swing movement, you must not allow
the heel of the right foot
to lift off the ground until the precise moment the club head strikes
the ball.
You must keep both feet firmly on the ground throughout the
back swing and the down swing movement.
