Is there a Trail knee friendly backswing, something I can change at address and or backswing? I have been to an ortho and he doesn't see any problems. I do have exercises which help. But, this problem comes and goes, I assume it is something I am doing while playing or practicing. Any recommendations or video would be appreciated. Cheers, SG

Two things you could try - flaring your feet out a little, and let your trail knee straighten on the BS. I assume you're not trying to restrict your hips from turning, correct?

Restricting your knee movement might put unwanted stress on the knee. First, your knee is bracing against the movement. Second, you might induce more lateral motion, which puts strain on the knee in the direction it isn't meant to move much in.

I'm still waiting for you to post a video doing that.

I'm not sure you're doing the backswing appropriately at all. You mentioned your back in that one, and now your knee. Something isn't being done right…

My trail knee got better. Now, it hurts again. Just reaching out in case there's any new sandtrap members who have a suggestion on any tips for a backswing that won't stress my trail knee. Thanks, SG

Man we’d love to help. We’ve tried a bunch of times.

We have no idea how you’re swinging right now. Post a video. Update your Member Swing topic.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      updated swing notes Setup - Same stuff. Good posture, weight in balls of feet, engage lower body more.  Backswing - Same stuff, hinge fully by P2 by using wrists. LBift left arm straight up to top of backswing. Control swing length, though it is way better. *Always a reminder 😊  Downswing - More of starting the downswing with lower body rotation. Getting the right hip rotating out towards the ball and around me, and the left hip goes back away from the ball and back around me. Straighten left leg as soon as possible. Still a bit of a struggle to do this.  Still the hand path and club going down behind me, feels like the right arm stays really wide and gets wider.  Though, I don't think I have poor hip flexor mobility. I stretch and move the crap out of them almost on a daily basis. It is part of my daily mobility routine for the past year.  This position is kind of wonky looking 🤣.  When I took my swing to that position and feel like I really sink my weight to the outside part of my left heel while extending the left hip more. I felt a big resistance from this area in the leg (sorry that is the right leg, blame Google). I was like, WTF! 🤣 Yea, more stretching may be needed. I wonder if I am avoiding that movement.
