Any Tips/Drills for maintaining bent right knee?

Hello,

My right leg is locking out fairly early in the backswing and I was wondering whether anyone has any drills or tips to help encourage keeping it bent?

There doesn't seem to be much on google, I found one about keeping a basketball between your knees (but I don't have a basketball) and another one about keeping your arse against a chair, but that one's not really practical on the range.

So has anyone got/fixed this problem and have any tips to share?

Full meniscectomy and cruciate surgery fixed it for me.  Probably a bit extreme though...

Try putting a golf ball under you right heel. My cause other issues but will defo keep your right knee (back knee) bent

There is obviously a breakdown between your brain and your leg, Dave. It must be the simplest thing in the world to bend ones knee. There will certainly be no drills for it.

Since most members are probably reluctant to give advice for fear of being aggressively corrected, I'll give you what bit I can, which may help.

I've tried to make my right knee lock on the backswing and here's how I did it. I kept my weight mostly on my left side and my hips straight.

So how to undo it: - During set up, bend knees slightly and feel as if you are sticking your arse out a bit. then during take away, transfer your weight about 70 percent onto your right side. And with your head still, rotate around your spine.

Good Luck.

David T , I wouldn't worry to much about it , I've always swung like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz9dilCAzB0  ; down to 7hcp , every body that has looked at me has tried to stop my right leg straightening. I always let the ball flight decide wether i'm swinging right or wrong. Ive always maintained its how you come into impact area most important.Good luck. 

Prob a casio exilim fh20. That's prob 400 frames per second. They go up to 1000fps but quality drops

sarahs correct, it was filmed @300fps
