Important Elements of the Golf Swing

It is imperative that you strengthen your hips, legs, stomach and lower back prior to golfing. This will help insure that you have a stable basic stance when addressing the ball. It will also make your swing more powerful and accurate. This stance increases your body control throughout the different shots, terrains, etc. that you will encounter on the course.

I see a lot of golfers that have a rounded back when they are addressing the ball. This awkward position pulls all the powerful muscles out of their proper position, and predisposes them to a back injury. (Not to mention how it decreases your ability to load on your backswing.) With a straight upper back you will decrease the forces pressing on the discs in the spinal region. This posture may help keep you off of my Spinal Decompression Machine!
