Posture Video

This is a picture of my friend Joe. He is 75 years old and in the last year Joe has managed to pick up more distance by drastically improving his posture. I took this picture when we were out playing and he was driving the ball 10 to 15 yards farther than he has in the last few years. Having good posture is a must for hitting better golf shots. Why?

First, when you tilt forward from the hip joints it fires up the leg muscles you need to generate energy, power and stability.
 
Second, keeping your spine long and in a straight line allows for better rotation of the upper body. A must for creating torque between the upper and lower body.
 
And finally, tilting from the hip joints (not the waist) will allow for proper hip rotation and allows the body to remain centered and balanced instead of swaying or shifting off the golf ball.
 
Remember to work on the fundamentals and build a solid foundation to your golf swing. Take the time to develop a posture that will increase power and consistency. Contact me with questions or help with your game.
