sequence is key to?
repeatability/consistency
Page 1 of 19
,Energy transfer or deceleration is key to?
Power
S-Posture
A swing characteristic caused by the player creating
too much arch in their lower back by sticking their tail
bone out too much in the setup position.
The S-Posture swing characteristic can be caused by
the following:
a series of muscle imbalances called a Lower Crossed
Syndrome (LCS).
lower crossed syndrome
A grouping of weak muscles combined with overactive
or tight muscles, that create a predictable movement
pattern in the lower back, a pattern that can lead to
injury.

, S-Posture is best screened using the?
Pelvic Tilt Test and the Bridge w/ Leg Extension Test.
C-Posture
When the shoulders are slumped forward at address
and there is a definitive roundness to the back from the
tailbone to the back of the neck.
Majority of C-Postures are caused by?
a series of muscle imbalances and joint restrictions
that are developed over many years
The most significant joint restriction seen in the C-
Posture is?
the lack of thoracic spine extension (limited backward
bend or arching of the upper back). That limitation can
make it difficult to eliminate the C-Posture. This can
lead to a severe loss of spinal rotation, which in turn
limits the ability to create a good backswing turn.
