Raising the Belt Part II

From flexion to extension (raising the belt)
During the downswing the weight is moving forwards incrementally such that approx 95% of the weight is on the left side by the time the golfer gets to the finish.
The way this happens is that during the downswing, the golfer returns the straightened right knee to the original flex it had at address, while the left knee maintains its flex as the hips slide forwards. As the hips continue moving forwards, the left leg begins to straighten (this allows the golfer to keep turning) and the right leg pushes downwards thus raising the belt and using the ground as a springboard. This move is known as the Pouncing Cat.
