All Simply about GolfGolf Stance…And Its Physical Requirements
by:
Mike Pedersen
Golf stance is one of the most neglected terms and issues in the golf swing and yet the golf stance dictates the success of every golf swing you make.
Once
golfers think of golf stance, they don’t realize how hard it is to maintain over 18 holes (four and a half hours). Simply take a look at the position your body is in during your set up.
There are galore physical issues taking place, even as although it is a static position at the start.
Let’s go over the physical requirements of the golf stance right now.
Bend At Hips To Address Golf Ball
To accomplish this initial movement takes strength and flexibility in not only the lower back, but the hamstrings and core muscle groups. If these muscle groups are limited, you wish have a really difficult time achieving this simple move.
Flex In The Knees
A combination of bending at the hips and knees allows you to get to the ball. The shorter the club, the much the bend at some
the hips and knees. If your quadriceps femoris are weak, you wish have a really difficult time maintaining the proper knee flex therefore causation you to create in improper golf stance…resulting in mishits and lack of distance.
Ankle joint Flexion
Take a look at the ankle joint joint of any golfer. It is decidedly bent (flexed) to accommodate the bending of the knees and hips. If your calf muscles are weak/or tight, you wish find it really uncomfortable to stay down at the ball. I see so galore golfers with tight calf muscles and they ne'er
even as knew it.
Spine Extension (Erectness)
This is a BIGGY! How galore times have you seen the golf player (maybe even as you) in his/her golf stance with the dread ‘camels back?’ This is really common among older golfers and is a KILLER in the golf swing. I could (and probably will) write a complete article on this physical limitation. But the bottom line is a rounded (weak) upper spine wish dramatically hinder your ability to do a full backswing. Result: really short drives and a lot of embarrassment.
I simply concisely covered simply a couple of physical requirements of the golf stance, but I hope you cognize see the importance of addressing your physical limitations to accomplish the end result.
Longer drives, lower scores and beating the pants off your playing
buddies! Pay much attention to your golf stance!
