More Yards, More Years, More Fun – Golf Fitness, Charlotte

So what exactly does Mark mean by that? Well, what he’s saying is that for most of you, your body doesn’t move the way it needs to – to play golf the way you want to.

All of us are going to struggle with certain movements, but when we struggle with a lot of them, well, that will cause the body to compensate and that will lead to a lot of frustration and more importantly, the potential for injury.

To have an efficient, repeatable, and powerful golf swing we need to be able to move freely from the following four places.

If you struggle with 2 or more of these mobility screens it will be difficult for you to be consistent, add distance to your swing, and more importantly, stay in the game because your likelihood of injury will be high.

• 90% of the compensations in your swing will come from failing these tests.

As a golf performance specialist I’m not trying to make you look better, I’m trying to make you move better so you can play better!

Well, you can’t know where to start until you know what’s not working. And to discover that we perform a physical screen which will identify how well your body moves in relation to what is ailing you, both physically and in your swing. That is what’s known as the Body-Swing Connection.

Don’t just think of the screens as a pass or fail, but rather a starting point from which we begin and can measure progress. 

The body-swing connection is simply how your body effects the golf swing and how the golf swing effects your body. In other words, any physical restriction or limitation you have will filter into your swing.  From thousands of samples, we can correlate a physical limitation with a swing characteristic that is typically undersireable to have.
