Tour-level Footwork: Step By Step Pro Footwork Based on 1,000 Pro Swings 👣

Спорт

In today's video, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb of Athletic Motion Golf show you how to have pro-level footwork in your golf swing. If you ever wondered how to place, control, and use footwork in your golf swing, then this is the video for you.
The video discusses the importance of proper footwork in golf and how it can improve distance and consistency in shots. Mike Granato and Shaun Webb break down the correct footwork for the setup, backswing, transition, and downswing, emphasizing the importance of moving the feet correctly in each phase of the swing. They use pressure mapping and visuals to demonstrate the proper distribution of weight on the feet and give tips on how to practice and improve footwork. They also offer a drill to help golfers improve their consistency.

    The discussion about “lightening” the pressure under your feet, staring at 4:50 and again at 7:30 absolutely can’t be over emphasized. Apply this concept in the back swing and the down swing. Once I got this, I stopped swaying, coming over-the-top, early extending, and flipping. It allows you to feel the proper sequencing, timing, lag, swing plane, and put you in control of the low point. For me it was magic. Listen to these guys; they know what they are talking about.

    Thanks, very useful advice. It seems so simple, but it can get complicated. For example, one error amateurs make, at least this one does, is to allow the shift of weight onto the trail leg and foot to allow the knee to be lose and the leg to slide outside of the outer edge of the trail foot/shoe. That makes it difficult if not impossible to get back centered over the ball. To correct this, one reminds oneself to brace that trail leg firmly against the turn on the backswing. That also generates a forward push with the trail leg that adds power and speed to the downswing. However, as you point out, pushing down hard on the trail foot to prevent it sliding back does make it harder to execute that "fall" onto the lead foot while simply lightening the trail foot.

    Great Great Video! I’ve been working on exactly this right now! One “feel” or mental image I’ve been using is I imagine my club is filling up my leg with power….as I pull the club back, it’s filling into the back foot, and as it starts to move upward to parallel, the power is going up my back leg and up to my hips…once I get past parallel (the club is now moving forward technically) the power flows over from one pant leg and down the front pant leg to my front foot (imaging a waterfall) and into my front foot….works pretty well for me.

    Light bulb moment for me was one of your previous videos (provided you start off with weight in right place then get your hips moving correctly ie right hip goes back and around which promotes the recentreing and then on downswing opposite happens with left hip going up and around, legs act more like pistons to move the hips - 100% convinced foot pressure sorts itself out if hips move correctly). The final missing piece (which I struggle with the most but when I get it right is so sweet) is getting my arms to move first (ala all your earlier videos). If my arms go first (in reality they don’t as the body/hip naturally braces) then everything else just reacts in correct sequence (it’s slowly getting there thanks to you guys but boy has it been painful. Playing the long game (and always think of your message of need to go at slower speeds and if it was easy we would all be playing on the tour!). Must say it’s nice to hit my driver long and straight with very little effort (people just don’t know how much speed they are leaving out there if they don’t move their arms)

    I enjoyed this video but I’m struggling to put it together with some of the points you’ve made recently about shoulders and tilts. If I shift pressure into my lead side whilst rotating the shoulders on that crescent plane, it chucks the club out in front of me too early in the downswing. I’ve seen other people talk about shifting into the front toes with back to target then rotating open whilst pushing into the heel but your shallowing video seemed to say that was incorrect. It seems like shifting pressure into the front of the lead foot encourages shallowing but also early extension and an open face whilst shifting the left side back away from the ball encourages over the top movements and pulls/hooks. Again, I’ve seen other coaches say pull the lead side back but compensate for the over-plane move that creates by adding side tilt but you’ve called that out to be incorrect too. How does a pro stitch all this together such that they shift that lead side away from the ball early but without going over-plane?

  • @roespan69
    @roespan69 Жыл бұрын

    Great video as usual. What about the horizontal plane (sheer) forces? Footwork should augment horizontal plane rotation by driving the front foot perpendicular to the target line and thus driving the lead hip in the opposite direction. Can you educate us on the degree of sheer force in the backswing and the downswing? Am vs pro? We hear alot about "pressure" which is in the vertical direction, but we need to know about torsion in our feet and horizontal sheer force too. Those forces are invisible since they result in zero motion (at the feet) but critically improve opening of the hips at impact.

  • @AthleticMotionGolf

    @AthleticMotionGolf

    Жыл бұрын

    That’s a good idea for a video🙏🏻. In the meantime sheet forces at the feet aren’t the same as the horizontal plane ground forces but both do happen in the swing. What’s also interesting is that some of the highest horizontal forces we’ve captured are from players with low amounts of rotation. Increasing one doesn’t mean you’ll increase the other. Most of the talk is about vertical because it’s normally where we can create the largest moment arm used to help with increasing speed. But you’re right, there are too other planes working in the background too 🤓

Of the 3 forces measured on pressure plates; torque, horizontal force and vertical force, which has the greatest effect on club head speed? Is the sequence of footwork described in your video the way the forces work in sequence? Torque first ( trail foot pressure starting the downswing). Horizontal force ( weight shifting to lead foot), then vertical force ( from front of lead foot to heal of lead foot). Or am I completely wrong assuming that?

On another note in their primes Rory, Greg Norman, Nick Faldo, and Ernie Els (when he was setting course/tournament records in Europe in the late 90s). All had their feet flat on the ground still at impact suggesting that they weren't taking pressure off that right heel, and their right hips weren't jutting out toward the ball/target line as fast as you guys are showing your pro doing.

    We use force plates to measure what the feet are doing. Pros typically have a small amount of flare with each foot. The hose player do not have both feet flat at impact, some famously not so. What the foot looks like on video is NOT proof of anything regarding pressure location. We aren’t showing pro hips in this video so I’m not sure what you’re referencing. If you can clarify that would be helpful.

    @@AthleticMotionGolf The more foot flare present the more hips (and to a smaller degree the knees) have freedom to turn rotationally over the heel, and the more overall rotation they can make. The less foot flare the more rotation is restricted, and the more likely the hips/pelvis is to tip up and down relative to the ground. (I'm guessing you'd see this difference reflected in gear numbers). If the hips rotated deeper with less resistance the brain isn't as eager to relieve the pressure, and the more time (and space) is required for it to return back to (and pass) its starting position. The deeper the hips have turned the longer pressure is likely to remain on the rear foot, and the less hip turn and more restriction on the hip the sooner the pressure is likely to come off the rear foot. (Guessing that would be reflected by readings from the pressure plate(s).

    Question: When you're showing the pressure plate, there are different colors. When I look at the setup graphic, it's orange on the left foot but not on the right foot. This leads me to believe there is more weight on the left than on the right foot. It says it's 50/50 so the colors must mean something else?

    The colors are the relative distribution of the pressure but only in that foot. Like there's a color coded map Legend for each foot. Each color means have Blue pressure here, yellow pressure here, red (most) pressure here. BUT Blue pressure for the left foot does not equal blue pressure in the right foot. Why? Because the pressure amounts are changing all the time (50/50 to 75/25 and so on) Imagine if there was one color system for both feet. It would become nonsense because you'd need to have a different color legend for each combination of pressure distribution between the feet.

    At minute 2:53 the pressure thermography shows more surface area and pressure on the left foot, however, you are making a reference this is 50% left and 50% right. Could you please explain how you arrived to this conclusion if the picture doesn't match the 50/50 claim?

    Pressure is the vertical force inside the surface area of the foot. The heat maps show what part of the foot is in contact with the ground at a given point in the swing. The two are not the same, but sometimes they’re very close. Sometimes they aren’t.

    The research of the German golf teacher Pat Kuck shows, that half of the players have their natural balance points slightly nearer to the balls of the feet (DJ, Koepka), the other half slightly nearer to the heels (Tiger, Nicklaus) and therefore have a different kind of weight shift. Do you have other data?

The first person who can create a poor man’s boditrak will probably win the PGA show gadget of the year award. Closest thing so far is the e bell. Doing it correctly is kinda like riding a bicycle.

    We’ve seen a lot of pressure recommendations come from folks who have no way of measuring pressure or ground forces. We see it every day. Of the small percentage who can measure it, an even smaller percentage have measured tour pros. Then an even smaller percentage have worked with those pros to make improvements to their footwork. All that has to be factored into what’s advocated, not just with this, but with any application of data.
