Golf Digest Article Explains How to Create Power with the Back Leg
With extensive expertise in marketing and sales in the healthcare industry, Brennan Marilla has held leadership positions with companies like Covidien Vascular Therapies and Medtronic Cardiovascular. Brennan Marilla has balanced his professional endeavors with a number of additional interests, including golf. In a recent Golf Digest article, well-known golf instructor Sean Foley described how to execute a more powerful swing by pushing off with the back leg, similar to how a baseball pitcher creates power. Foley explains that pitchers use the back foot to help the trailing half of the body travel forcefully towards the plate, which generates more speed. In a golf swing, this tactic can be emulated by thrusting with the back foot to help the body power through a swing as the weight shifts from the back to the front foot. Foley asserts that a strong push from the back leg will lead to more solid and powerful shots. According to Foley, the celebrated South African professional golfer Gary Player perfectly demonstrated how to push off with the back leg. He created a powerful weight shift by swinging through and walking towards the target.
