Straightening the Trail Leg for More Rotation Is Giving Up More Than You Gain! A golf school attendee's idea to improve his backswing: straighten the right leg to get the pelvis more turned. It did turn the pelvis more... but he gave up a tremendous amount in the process. Here's an easy way to see this without GEARS. In the backswing, which traveled farther... the knee or the hip? If the knee moves back more than the pelvis moves deeper, your swing line got more vertical. Steeper. That's the opposite of what the best players do. Over and over, the pattern is the same: the pelvis moves deeper than the knee moves. Not the other way around.
