Knees down or premature evaluation

It's well accepted that the golf swing should have a sequence that starts with the lower body (basically legs and knees) moves through the core (hips and pelvis) and finally to the shoulders and arms. Great!

However, it's another thing to actually achieve that sequence consistently - especially for the weekend warrior.

Watching some PGA players the other day I noticed the considerable amount of knee bend most, nearly all, of the players had at set up. I also noticed how they use their lower bodies to power their swings - bearing in mind that even in slow motion this is hard to see because the downswing happens in a fraction of a second.

Anyway, armed with this information, I went to the course and tried to incorporate more knee bend in my set up, hoping this might be the key to activating my lower body and thereby improving the sequencing of my swing.

It might be too soon to say that this is the solution I need for my recent poor ball striking - more proof is needed - but my ball striking improved considerably. If it is the important key that I'm looking for, it will definitely be Knees Down Mother Brown.
