If you've tried every upper body fix and still can't stop standing up through impact, the problem is probably starting from the ground. Eric Cogorno breaks down the lower body chain reaction — trail foot, trail knee, lead hip, upper body — that high handicap golfers get wrong and shows exactly how to fix it with one simple sequence. Watch how Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy use their trail knee and lead hip depth to stay down at impact, and how the alignment rod drill gives you the same feel immediately. If you leave this video without trying the trail toe drill, you're leaving consistency on the table.
What You'll Learn:

What You'll Learn:
• Why incorrect trail foot position causes thin shots, topped balls, and standing up through impact
• How the trail foot controls the knee, hip, and entire lower body chain reaction in the golf swing
• The trail toe fix: pushing off the inside of the big toe to keep the lead hip deep at impact
• The trail knee drill for closing the gap and training correct knee path through the ball
• Why lead hip depth is the real key to staying down at impact for high handicap golfers
• The four-step sequence: trail toe, trail knee, lead hip, upper body — layered piece by piece
• How Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy use trail knee and hip depth that most high handicap golfers never learn
• The alignment rod drill for training correct knee path so your lower body stops leaking toward the ball
