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.

      Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall.

      Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.

      Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).

      Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
