Right knee flex

[italianstallion]

I'm right handed, so heres my issue. My right knee flexes in the backswing, causing my body to sway. Any ideas or drills to prevent my right knee from flexing so much?

Thanks

hey this is a good thing that your right knee flexes because it stores all that power you can push off of during the downswing, but if you are swaying, try to pivot on the inner part of you right foot, this will force you to turn your core and stay centered and not sway. i almost have the same problem and i took a lesson and my instructor put this devise on me that went on my right knee and like a strap went to my left toe to that wen i turned back, the strap that went to my toe didnt allow me to sway and forcing me to turn instead try to react this in you back swing

Right knee flex is good in the golf swing. Ideally flex will be constant throught the swing. no up/down motion. Try hitting balls or making easy practice swings with a with a golf ball under the outside of your right shoe. Like the poster b4 me said kinking in right knee will provide the same effect. Loading weight onto the inside of right foot is the correct sensation. 2 fold effect: This gives you the ability to push hard off of your right side. Secondly this will restrict your hip turn on backswing so you can create torque between upper body and lower body turns as the shoulder turn continues past the hip turn. Wind it up tight, set club, and let it go!

Thanks guys

I was just looking at those swing sequence pics golf digest puts out. I noticed none of the pros have a right knee flex, always stiff. After seeing my PGA pro today, I found that the reason I was not so accurate in the past few rounds was because I was developing a shoulder drop. My left shoulder would dip in the backswing, causing my body to be all messed up at impact. Got it fixed before it became a habit.

Thanks again.
