Coaches Description
(Please note these are general findings and an individual assessment by a golf coach is strongly recommended)

With having a pelvic tilt with left hip down and right hip up, several poor functional movements can occur in the golf swing

  1. This position can cause a reverse pivot;
  2. It restricts lumbar stability and lumbar rotation;
  3. This becomes a more upper body dominant swing;
  4. The right leg straightens & the left knee buckles.
