Thank you i am going to work on this when i get over my lower back pain.

Thank you for sharing this tutorial. It makes perfect sense and I plan to use this.

That's me 100% and spot on! I tried to play two rounds like that and blew out my back! I've since hired a stretching coach and deep tissue massage. PT has def helped open my hips and back. You might as well have used me for an example.
Awesome video, i watched it 10 times!

I just looked up this video because I have lower back pain

I have reverse spine angle and my trainer said it‘s fine because it‘s just slight and I pull out of it in my swing on my downswing

I think I‘ll have to work on this soon

Thanks for this. Are there anymore vidoes for lower back issues? Any particular swing types/styles that I should be avoiding?

Thank you, my back is killing me but I wasn't sure if it's my swing or my damn RA acting up. New to the game so need to break out my phone and see if I'm doing what youre mentioning - I bet I am.

My back is fine. My elbows are shot. I'm a right handed 58 year old golfer who has been pounding balls for 52 years. It was a perfect day to play today, but I couldn't. I couldn't even lift the frying pan this morning without severe pain in my left elbow. It has been getting worse the last few weeks. Maybe hitting 500 balls a week for 50 years was not a good idea. I love the game more than anything but I'm afraid it's coming to an end. The pain has caught up with me. Now what the hell am I going to do? Sit around with my crazy wife every weekend? I'd rather eat broken glass!

God I wish I would have watched this video before going to top golf last weekend. I woke up next day with a pain like no other and only concluded it had to be because of the way I was swinging

[aronob]

My worst problem is that I stay watching videos on YouTube and never go play golf

I do turn a lot and correctly but also end up leaning to the target, any advice? Thanks.

idk i dont fit this criteria, my swing is good. Maybe im just getting fat. lol

You must have forgotten about the fixed joints in your skull.

“Normal” golfers REVERSE C!! Only golfers who have trained to rotate properly know how to make this adjustment. Over-rotating also causes this issue
