HOW POSTURE AFFECTS YOUR GOLF SWING









Posture is an extremely important fundamental. It determines the plane of your swing and helps you keep good balance. It will also aid  proper timing of your swing. Obtaining good posture means getting accustomed to a relatively awkward position. A golfer with an athletic set up  will have the potential to hit the ball further.

You must bend forward form your waist and keep your upper body erect this will help extend your swing plane as far as possible. The knees should be 'just cracked'. If the knees are too bent your upper body automatically falls back on the heels and your thighs are too relaxed, they need to feel strong and taut. Once in an athletic position your arms should just hang naturally. You are now ready.

The core muscles in the centre of your torso are the most important as they enable the upper body  to coil powerfully against strong leg resistance generating power that is unleashed via the body's natural swing levers - the arms.


REMEMBER THE SET UP PREDETERMINES THE MOTION
