Load the lead leg and push off the ground for power

Breaking down the swing sequence, Saguto shows that at the top of the backswing the lead (left) knee works down toward the ground as pressure and weight load into the lead leg. He says this both keeps the body centered over the ball and creates power, because the golfer can then push off that front leg in the downswing.
