Drill to maintain spine angle

Re: Drill to maintain spine angle

Lordosis is "sway back" or "pushing the hips forward"; it is not keeping your "butt out"
good posture in golf is setting up at address with the shoulders fairly erect and the arms hanging down from the shoulders. The core is activated when one gets into an athletic position.
Sticking one's "butt out" while used for years, has very limited benefit.

Please, we don't need a debate about lordosis. I am well experienced in the medical field and officially...
Lordosis: "Inward curvature of the spine. Normally, for example, the low back demonstrates lordosis. The spine is not supposed to be absolutely straight, so some degree of curvature is normal."

When the low back is too straight, low back muscle are on stretch and less able to handle the torque of body rotation. In lordosis, they are relaxed in better able to. Also, the center of gravity is too far forward w/o lordosis, futher straining these muscles.
One of the primary reasons for low back pain and disfunction in athletic moves is exemplified by your statement and a failure to recognize this. Failure to retain a degree of lordosis as one ages by proper core training and posture exercises is a key component to that. Please read McKenzie on low back maintenance as a beginning to further help your understanding of lordosis maintenance being a key to good postural health.
I hope also we don't discount the importance of the often neglected hip muscles; one of the huge differences between professional golf players and the rest of us is their strength in this important area.

"please don't get into a debate.....etc." I have spent the past 45 years as a medical professional and could say alot but I refuse to be drawn again into a useless diatribe.
I am just going to ignore your posts from now on.
Good luck.

Many thanks...one post earlier would have been sufficient.
