A
major factor in swing faults is incorrect posture effecting spine angle
and creating poor swing mechanics. Get Fit to Golf concentrates
on some of the most common swing faults that golfers are plagued by
and all of them are directly related to postural and muscle faults as
well as poor balance as a result of these problems. In other words these problems cause a "biomechanical fault"..The
most common Swing Faults are the following. Please click on each swing
fault for a detailed explanation of the causes and cures for each swing
fault.
 hitting

hooking (straight flight then hooking or push/duck hook)
slicing
(caused over the top)
pushing
the ball (or push-slicing)
pulling
the ball (or pull-hooking)
dipping
or reverse tilt (or the Reverse Pivot or Tilt or Lack of Power)
All
these listed common swing faults we have shown can be attributed to
a biomechanical, structural or spinal faults. If you want to find the
key to more consistent golf this is the beginning.
All golfers are looking to maximise their swing, which is to maximise
their power to create maximum distance. To maximise distance you must
make an efficient back swing. The golfer with the best posture will
have the best swing mechanics and will create the most efficient and
powerful swing.
Some
of the common faults in the swing causing lack of power are:
- the lift
- reverse tilt
- poor balance
- sway
- dipping
- lack of movement
- too much hip movement
Each of these faults has a biomechanical
cause. For example, if your posture is poor with lack of rotation of
the neck causing lack of flexibility and a poor stance, it will also
cause a poor centre
of gravity. You will not be able to rotate your hips combined with
no movement of the neck or too much, which results in weak arms only
swing. The "C" curve or reverse
tilt (dipping) is caused by a poor rotation of hips causing the
centre of gravity to push the weight on your front foot. When you try
to compensate you cause a reverse pivot by sliding the hips instead
of rotating. You move the ball forward but still have the same problem
because the problem is created by poor centre of gravity created by
a spinal fault.
If
you are one of the many golfers with an existing spinal fault, improve
your biomechanics
first and then work on your swing. At Get Fit to Golf we
can give you a personalised fitness program catered to your own individual
needs to achieve this. Correcting your problem areas can also reduce
the risk of injury and improve your overall well-being.
