Posture and Spine Angle

     The golfer at the left is standing too close to the ball. His legs are locked with his weight in his heels and his hands are too close to his body. The poor posture at the beginning is will cause all kinds of things too happen as he swings. The picture below shows one of them. 

      The picture shows the golfer at impact. He’s lost his spine angle. He’s trying to get taller so he can create more space to fit the golf club between his body and the ball. It isn’t working.

     Once we fix his posture he will need training to help him learn how to maintain his spine angle. Just because one problem is fixed doesn’t mean all the other ones will fall in line.  History matters.   This stand up move at impact was learned. Now it has to be unlearned
