In a recent video on his YouTube channel, McCormick emphasizes that movement in the legs is crucial for the proper execution of short-game shots.

He advises that practice swings should incorporate leg and foot movement, allowing pressure to shift primarily onto the lead leg during the shot.

The pressure distribution changes based on the type of shot; for low chip shots, nearly all pressure should be on the lead leg, while for flop shots, it can start at 50/50 and shift during the stroke.

McCormick explains that a short game shot should involve coordinated movement between the club head, upper body, and lower body to avoid mishits and rigid motions.

He demonstrates this concept by placing a lob wedge under his right foot and showing how the trail heel rises during a short-game swing, indicating lower body movement.

This lesson helps dispel the myth of static lower body positioning in short-game shots, promoting a more dynamic approach to improve golf performance.

McCormick concludes that allowing for lower body movement increases rhythm and precision in contact, helping to avoid poor shots such as fat contact.

Cameron McCormick, a GOLF Top 100 instructor and coach to Jordan Spieth, challenges the common belief that golfers should maintain 'steady legs' during short-game shots.
