To be great around the greens, you have to be able to control three factors: contact, trajectory and roll.
Keeping your knees stable is a crucial element to achieving all three. As you swing back, focus on your knees holding their positions. This ensures that the low point of the swing stays forward so you hit the ball first, then the ground.
If your knees sway back, it means your torso is twisting, which pulls the club inside and shifts the low point back. Result: chunks and skulls. So lean your knees forward, the front knee over the outside of the front foot and the back knee over the instep of the back foot, and keep them there.
