The Modern Golf Swing Is Better
Man...has
the golf swing evolved! It is such a science now. With the tour players using
high tech equipment, golf fitness trainers, and the top gurus of the game, the
modern swing has become a proto type for all players of all ages and abilities.
Throw Out Your Old Golf Instruction Books
I've got a ton of these books in my library. So many I need to just give them away, to free up some space. These books really emphasize the use of an active lower body. The powerful driving of the legs both laterally and rotationally to produce power.
Lower Back Golf Injuries
Because the golfers didn't believe in conditioning their bodies, the injuries to their lower backs was on the high end. Many of them played with back injuries. It actually shortened the careers of many of them.
Look at today's senior players. They are playing well into their 60's and even early 70's at a very competitive level. Why? Because most of them have a modern golf swing and have prepared their body's physically to withstand the tremendous amount of pressure the golf swing puts on it.
The end result was a ton of low back injuries and strains due to the "reverse C" this swing technique produced. All you've got to do is look at the old pictures of the golfers in their finished position and you'll see the bowing of the body away from the target.
Modern Rotational Golf Swing
The current swing is a rotational movement, that is 'stacked' at impact, not the "reverse C" I mentioned above.
What I mean by stacked is at impact it almost looks like the golfer is right over the ball with his/her entire body. The hips are rotated towards the target; but in sequence with the core and upper body. There is very little lateral movement of the lower body and even upper body.
This powerful rotation creates maximum torque in your core area producing much higher clubhead speed and distance. This rotation requires a stronger core from a rotational standpoint. The key movements in training your body for the modern golf swing is rotational.
Fix The Machine
If you could only spend 15 minutes a day, you would spend all of them doing core rotational strength and flexibility movements and drills. This would give you maximum return on minimal investment.
Training your body "off the course" will take your game to another level. Focus on the key aspects I mentioned above to create the most power. Learn the fundamentals of the modern golf swing.
Simple Golf Swing
If you're tired of all the "information-overload" golf instruction products on the market, and want to simplify your golf swing, I would strongly recommend the Simple Golf Swing DVD.
