Mr. Yoda,
Could you pleas commit on how and when to use your right knee in the down swing for short or full shotrs. Thanks.

Stuts,

Understand that both the Left and Right Knees move to support the Hip Turn and the resultant Weight Shift (if any). Not vice versa.

Substituting Knee Motion for what is properly a Hip Motion is a common error, one that should be avoided by those who would build their most effective, efficient Golf Stroke. Watch for what I call "happy" knees that move vigorously in both the Backstroke and Downstroke, but do little to cause the proper Hip Turn and Action. Also, "saggy baggy" knees (in either direction) that tend to move the Head (a Sway or Bob or both) and cause an Uncentered Arc.

Personally, I prefer and teach Right Anchor Knee Action (10-16-C), but understand (and have no problem with) Standard (10-16-A) and Double Anchor (10-16-D) Knee Action.

The Feet (Component #17) also play an important part in the Foot-Knee-Hip-Shoulder interaction and should be given close attention, even -- and perhaps especially -- in the short pitches.
