left knee position?

[pieman]

i seem to have my left knee move somewhat back during my backswing. should the left knee(for a right handed player) move more towards the ball rather than back to my right foot?

pieman,
if you push your knee straight out, I think you'll find it leaves too much weight on your left side.....diagonally right would be more natural

how about for the downswing? do you try to get a wider gap between the legs/knee on the downswing and transfer?

Just use the "try and raise your right heel while the weight is still on it" drill....your left leg will react, precisely, without any concious thought...
