Locking Out the Trail Leg Is Killing Your Distance

Locking Out the Trail Leg Is Killing Your Distance! Lock out the trail leg in the backswing and the knee goes back farther than the hip... which causes a massive overturn, steepens the femur angle, and kills any chance of doing what the best players do. The pros move the pelvis deeper than the knee moves... which keeps the femur angle shallow and loads the swing correctly. You cannot get that shallow angle if the leg is straightening. Huge distance killer that most golfers don't even know they're doing.
