How to Properly Push with Your Lead Foot in the Swing
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Understand the correct pushing motion with your lead foot for better balance.
- Feel how pushing with your legs can enhance your arm extension during the swing.
- Recognize the importance of proper lower body mechanics for more powerful shots.
In this video, you'll learn how to effectively push off the inside of your lead foot to enhance your swing mechanics. This crucial movement helps trigger your body's natural release, leading to improved shots on the course.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.760
This video is how to push with the inside of your lead foot.
2
00:00:04.760 --> 00:00:08.680
So I frequently talk about pushing with that lead foot.
3
00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:12.720
It should be one of the movements that helps trigger the release.
4
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:17.880
So instead of a conscious, I get to delivery position and then extend my arms.
5
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:21.000
What will happen is I'm getting towards delivery position and I start pushing
6
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.200
with my legs
7
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:25.040
and that helps my arms extend.
8
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:28.340
When I say pushing with my legs, I'm specifically talking that lead foot
9
00:00:28.340 --> 00:00:29.280
because my body has
10
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.680
already shifted and my pelvis is more towards my lead foot than it is towards
11
00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:35.200
my trail foot.
12
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.130
Well, I know that when I say push, I know what I mean, but it might not be
13
00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:41.480
completely clear.
14
00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:46.570
So I want to help you understand if you're or where you're pushing is going to
15
00:00:46.570 --> 00:00:47.100
be more
16
00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:51.110
on kind of the inside of the foot and it's going to be pushing the ground away
17
00:00:51.110 --> 00:00:51.560
from you
18
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.240
kind of like so.
19
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.720
So I use the example because I played a lot of tennis and basketball.
20
00:00:57.720 --> 00:01:01.130
If I was playing basketball and I had a defender who was coming across this way
21
00:01:01.130 --> 00:01:01.960
and then working
22
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.610
back that way, I would kind of shift and then I would push back something like
23
00:01:06.610 --> 00:01:06.960
so.
24
00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:10.160
So I would be shifting and then I would push this.
25
00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:15.250
So the harder that I am driving that way, the more that I'm going to have to
26
00:01:15.250 --> 00:01:15.800
really
27
00:01:15.800 --> 00:01:18.120
push in order to get going this way.
28
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.790
Well, that helps me with my proper lower body mechanics because if I get my
29
00:01:22.790 --> 00:01:23.560
body too far
30
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.560
over here, there's no way I'm going to be able to shift.
31
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.640
I have to take actually an extra step.
32
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.360
So when I'm pushing, it's kind of a little bit more like this.
33
00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:36.890
So the golfers in the past have called it a firm left side tiger when he was
34
00:01:36.890 --> 00:01:37.600
working
35
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:38.600
with Bush.
36
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:39.880
We'll talk about snapping that leg.
37
00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:43.980
I don't like the thought of snapping that leg, but pushing through the inside
38
00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:44.560
of the foot
39
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.650
as if I was trying to almost change directions and go back this way to trigger
40
00:01:49.650 --> 00:01:50.600
the rotation
41
00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:56.200
forward is a great way to feel this lower body initiating the release.
42
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:03.220
So I'll demonstrate one.
43
00:02:03.220 --> 00:02:07.260
And you can see basically after I've shifted to here, I'm pushing through that
44
00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:07.840
inside of
45
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.760
the leg as I'm doing the wipe, the finishing the motorcycle and all those good
46
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:12.800
arm mechanics
47
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:13.920
that you're practicing.
48
00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:17.360
But it all gets triggered from the lower body up.
49
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.480
So if you're having trouble with some of your shallowing pieces and getting the
50
00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:23.080
timing
51
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.210
of the Zora loops or the timing of this blend of release to transition by using
52
00:02:28.210 --> 00:02:29.160
proper push
53
00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:32.940
with that lead leg, sometimes it can help you overcome that barriers and have
54
00:02:32.940 --> 00:02:33.320
it all
55
00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:33.920
kind of click.

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:21.000
What will happen is I'm getting towards delivery position and I start pushing
6
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.200
with my legs
7
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:25.040
and that helps my arms extend.
8
00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:28.340
When I say pushing with my legs, I'm specifically talking that lead foot
9
00:00:28.340 --> 00:00:29.280
because my body has
10
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.680
already shifted and my pelvis is more towards my lead foot than it is towards
11
00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:35.200
my trail foot.
12
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:40.130
Well, I know that when I say push, I know what I mean, but it might not be
13
00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:41.480
completely clear.
14
00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:46.570
So I want to help you understand if you're or where you're pushing is going to
15
00:00:46.570 --> 00:00:47.100
be more
16
00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:51.110
on kind of the inside of the foot and it's going to be pushing the ground away
17
00:00:51.110 --> 00:00:51.560
from you
18
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.240
kind of like so.
19
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.720
So I use the example because I played a lot of tennis and basketball.
20
00:00:57.720 --> 00:01:01.130
If I was playing basketball and I had a defender who was coming across this way
21
00:01:01.130 --> 00:01:01.960
and then working
22
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.610
back that way, I would kind of shift and then I would push back something like
23
00:01:06.610 --> 00:01:06.960
so.
24
00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:10.160
So I would be shifting and then I would push this.
25
00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:15.250
So the harder that I am driving that way, the more that I'm going to have to
26
00:01:15.250 --> 00:01:15.800
really
27
00:01:15.800 --> 00:01:18.120
push in order to get going this way.
28
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.790
Well, that helps me with my proper lower body mechanics because if I get my
29
00:01:22.790 --> 00:01:23.560
body too far
30
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.560
over here, there's no way I'm going to be able to shift.
31
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.640
I have to take actually an extra step.
32
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.360
So when I'm pushing, it's kind of a little bit more like this.
33
00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:36.890
So the golfers in the past have called it a firm left side tiger when he was
34
00:01:36.890 --> 00:01:37.600
working
35
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:38.600
with Bush.
36
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:39.880
We'll talk about snapping that leg.
37
00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:43.980
I don't like the thought of snapping that leg, but pushing through the inside
38
00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:44.560
of the foot
39
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.650
as if I was trying to almost change directions and go back this way to trigger
40
00:01:49.650 --> 00:01:50.600
the rotation
41
00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:56.200
forward is a great way to feel this lower body initiating the release.
42
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:03.220
So I'll demonstrate one.
43
00:02:03.220 --> 00:02:07.260
And you can see basically after I've shifted to here, I'm pushing through that
44
00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:07.840
inside of
45
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.760
the leg as I'm doing the wipe, the finishing the motorcycle and all those good
46
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:12.800
arm mechanics
47
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:13.920
that you're practicing.
48
00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:17.360
But it all gets triggered from the lower body up.
49
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.480
So if you're having trouble with some of your shallowing pieces and getting the
50
00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:23.080
timing
51
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.210
of the Zora loops or the timing of this blend of release to transition by using
52
00:02:28.210 --> 00:02:29.160
proper push
53
00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:32.940
with that lead leg, sometimes it can help you overcome that barriers and have
54
00:02:32.940 --> 00:02:33.320
it all
55
00:02:33.320 --> 00:02:33.920
kind of click.
