Here's a detailed video of my latest thoughts on leg action in the downswing. I cover driver swings of Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Rory Mcilroy, Tiger Woods, and Sam Snead. I specifically focus on knee flexes, pelvic tilts, hip abduction, and lots other exciting things!
In all seriousness, I think I'm onto something and I hope it helps you guys out. For more, check out my blog post "It's all in the Hips." As always, thanks for watching!
In this video, we look at how the club-shaft should respond in transition. This isn't as much of a deal-breaker as something like proper sequencing, but is extremely beneficial to both the average and high-level player.
You will rarely find a swing where the shaft of the club points inside of the target-line at left arm parallel in the downswing. Phil Mickelson is one of the few good enough to use this difficult technique. Otherwise, good players "shallow" or "flatten" the shaft in transition before steepening it onto the ball and exiting well left through impact. Check out Ben Hogan, Sergio Garcia, Brooks Koepka, and Jim Furyk for examples of this motion.

In this video, we focus on the positions of the lead and trail wrists throughout the swing. As you'll see, certain wrist angles lead to pulling the arms down and steepening the shaft in transition. On the other hand, certain angles lead to proper body rotation and a more simple squaring of the club face through impact. Many different patterns have been utilized by the greats but some ways are simply easier to manage than others.

In this video, we'll look at some examples of what moves first during both the takeaway and the downswing. As you'll see, there's a big difference in sequencing between your average player and a touring pro. Proper sequencing is one of the most important aspects of a functional golf swing. Without it, you basically don't have a chance to be good.
For more info on proper sequencing, you should check out Ben Hogan's book "Five Lessons: Modern Fundamentals of Golf."
