Quick question on this to determine if this is normal or not.

Have worked on what I "think" this is, which does generate a more promounced feel that the club accelerates through the ball, all good. Also get the feeling of posting on the left leg more and not drifting too forward. Last good thing is that the follow through is more complete and I can "tap" the right toe at the end and finish in good balance. Those are all good.

however, after doing this for awhile, admittedly for the first time, the left side of the left knee and left hip are a little sore. Is this normal while adopting this (and requires more stretching exercises to build up flexibility and strength on the left side of the left leg) or is it possibly overcooking the move abit and the correct feeling is likely not quite as severe as I may be doing.

Wodnering if others expereince when first doing this is to expect a little bit of achiness until you get it smoothed out or not.

Not talking excruciating pain here, but just the general achiness of stretching out where you aren't used to it.

Thanks

I have a sense there is something else going on here with your move but I would need to see it. Most people find themselves much more pain free with this move since it allows for the whole body to flow together rather than creating resistance.

Equipment, Setup, Finish, Balance, and Relax. All equal in importance and all dependent on each other. They are the cornerstones of a good golf swing.

Tiger needed knee surgery due to posting. Of course his 120+ MPH swing speed could have something to do with it.

    • Day 1: 2026.01.03 Played 18 at Cape Kidnappers. Getting back into it after a few days off. Mixed results.
    • Day 40: short range session. Worked on my drill mostly. Finished with some full swings and driver swings. Range was packed because it was so nice out. Solid session though. 
    • Day 5, 1/3/26.  Today was a weird day schedule-wise, but I did find 15 minutes to hit 6-iron shots (indoors, off a mat, into a net).  I also got to thinking about yesterday's round and, other than a few thin shots (that I think were weather/grip related), I didn't have any wild non-driver shots, which was weird for me.  I need to get back to video, which is tough in my setup. Also, this wouldn't count on its own, but anyone reading this and thinking about doing their own 5 minutes daily, check out Fit for Golf's latest podcast episode.  It's only a few minutes and Mike does a great job talking about the importance of doing a bit each day.  That also reminded me, I let my FFG subscription lapse, I'm going to renew it.
    • Day 32 (3 Jan 26) - Misty, rainy day - opted to rehearse swing in the mirror - focused on face position at P6 thru P9.   
    • Day 460 - 2026-01-03 Set up GEARS Hybrid for a lesson, so used it in the morning for checking a few things from yesterday.
