For every action there ....

[Har in the Hat]

For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.

One of the things I have been unsuccessful is about using the energy obtained by pushing into the ground to obtain power. It is this force applied to the ground that creates the reactionary (opposite) force that gets transmitted from the legs up to the core and then eventually to the club. 

And if I am not mistaken it is when you transition from the backswing to the downswing and at that time that you create the weight shift that you then use this energy.

I am stumped about using this energy during the transition. Or pushing off the ground??

Has anyone else heard of this or takes advantage of this?

I can't do it at all. I've been measured on pressure plates and just don't generate power that way. But I'm a very rotational swinger with kind of a side-on release and the vertical thrust is simply not part of how I move. At least, not effectively haha.

You are pretty much referring to transferring pressure from roughly split 50/50 at setup into the trail heel at the start of the takeaway and shifting the pressure into the lead heel. There’s a combo of pushing and pulling in the swing.  James Jordan on Instagram does a good job talking about the pushing aspect and tieing the trail leg and arms together.  Athletic motion golf on YouTube does a real good job on explaining the swing well

I am with you.  I have tried this approach and it just doesn't feel natural.  I am sure that I could redo my swing to generate power this way but I would rather maintain my current swing instead of rebuilding..

It's super simplification, but there's actually a slight squat at the beginning of the transition that allows one to load up and explode up into impact. Larry Cheung is an instructor up in Toronto and is a big proponent of the squat and rotate. Take a look at his Instagram and YouTube channel as he posts lots of great stuff on this concept. #LegsFeedTheWolf

you're not alone- many don't including some super star golfers.

Your handicap suggests what you do is just fine.

I'll have to look at that video. Thanks RB

  That is what is missing. It makes sense. The slight squat. Thanks for this Jlukes. I'll check out the video.
