When you look at the videos are you seeing the old Greg Norman foot action or the better revised foot action. Which foot action do you think this aid promotes, if any?

Link to infomercial AND video: https://www.asseenontvnetwork.com/vc.../index/173681/
Follow Homer Kelley's advice with regards to the Foot Action Component (7-17). The loading (Weight) can shift to the inner edge of the Foot, but it shouldn't roll the Foot over on its edged. To the extent the Heel comes off the ground, it should be pulled off, not lifted off.

I see no reason for the exaggerated drag of the Right Foot through Impact, nor the excessive Knee Action which causes it. This conclusion comes despite the fact that three great champions come to mind that use the technique: Billy Casper, George Knudsen and Larry Nelson.

Of the names you mention above, including the three company owners, I do not recall any that drag the Right Foot as promoted by the training device.

Finally, I have not seen Greg Norman's Foot Action in several years, but from the video you have supplied, I can see that the Leaderboard training aid does not produce the Foot Action he used in his early years on TOUR.
