Knee Action for a Power Play!

One of the overlooked sources of power in a golf swing is the knees, especially the right knee. The hips, knees and feet all work together in creating power, but the knees serve as the focal point. 

 For every shot except the very short ones, a line extending across the kneecaps should point at the target. As the club comes back, the left knee should turn in toward the right. Now the right knee becomes the critical point of the entire swing. When it is braced in this fashion, the body is coiling like a spring around the knee. 

This firmness builds up power by swaying away from the ball. As the downswing starts, the strength contained by the right knee is abruptly released by pushing off the inside of the right foot.This will cause the right knee to turn directly toward the target, which helps push the whole body,

and the power in it, in the direction the ball is being hit. 

Before you look for such a source of additional power,  you must have a well-diciplined basic swing.
