  Golf Setup: Correct Knee Flex with the Driver

  Posted on November 18, 2013 by Grant in Golf Fundamentals, Golf Set-up.

  Correct knee flex with the driver is totally opposite of the knee flex needed for the green-side sand shot. With the driver, I want just a small amount of knee flex. This helps me stay level through the impact and allows me to stand up nice and tall on the finish. Too much knee flex […]
