Why Straight Front Leg at Contact?

Posted by: Steve (SteveDFord@aol.com) on Fri Jul 13 11:16:38 2007

Hello,

Why do you need a straight front leg at point of impact with the ball?

What are the advantages or disadvantages to that?

It does work that way for me, but always wondered the reasoning behind that?

I am tall. so bending my knees in my stance seems to make sense to help hit low pitches, but then doesn't it pushes body upward to straighten out front leg? Or is that a rotation around the axis?

Thanks
