Get to Grips with Golf - Backbone Angle and Posture

Copyright (c) 2008 Lewis Blood

When I think of posture I think of spine angle. In fact this is the one major thought which I personally polestar on throughout my golf swing. I strongly believe that by getting your spine angle due at fix up, and maintaining it throughout your swing, you will soon develop a consistent, balanced golf swing.

Imagine that a pole through the top of your sense running down your spine is the central axis of your golf swing, and that your swing turns encompassing this constant axis. I vow you that by getting this one easy element of your swing correct you testament dramatically improve the overall shape and quality of your golf swing.

Outlined below is a simple routine for you to follow that will help you foster the correct posture and spine angle.

1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder width apart, and analogue to the ball-to-target line.

2. Receive the club and occupation it straight away in front of you at a right angle to your body, and parallel to the ground. It should be environing fair-minded below shoulder height.

3. At once slowly start to bony forward by bending at the waist keeping your back nice and straight.

4. Flex your knees slightly, and stick your bottom elsewhere a little. The feeling I have myself is one of sitting on the edge of a table.

5. Continue to thin forward until the club attitude touches the ground. Your arms should these days be hanging in a relaxed, congenital position unrestrained of your body.

6. One final thing - make sure that your head is lifted shining of your chest. This is, in my opinion, another vital component on which you should concentrate. By keeping your tendency outside from your chest, and looking at the ball down your nose, you are able to turn your left shoulder underneath your chin on the backswing and establish a full shoulder turn.

From the front there should virtually be a straight edge from your left shoulder, through your left arm, and club shaft to the ball. The right shoulder will be slightly lower than the left, and the right arm slightly bent at the elbow. Your weight will be appealing evenly distributed between both feet, and will slightly favour the right side when hitting a driver.

Carry used to this recent posture position by repeating the above routine over and over and over again until it becomes moment nature. I promise you that the benefits in terms of improving the shape, balance, and consistency of your golf swing will be hale worth the effort.
