Knees Touch at the Finish: the model golfer in position

Knees Touch at the Finish

Send the trail knee to the lead knee, not at the ball, so the hips keep turning.

Use this if

Your trail knee kicks out toward the ball.

The fault

The trail knee kicks out toward the ball, the hips stop turning and the arms run out of room.

Steps

  1. Make a slow swing and notice where your trail knee goes
  2. Rehearse 3 finishes with the trail knee closing to the lead knee
  3. Let the trail foot roll up onto its toe as the knee arrives
  4. Hit balls at 70%, finishing with the knees together

Trail knee finds the lead knee

Reps

3 rehearsals, then 3 x 5 balls at 70%

Why it works

Aiming the trail knee at the lead knee sends the trail side around toward the target instead of out at the ball. That keeps the pelvis rotating and leaves the arms room to swing from the inside.
