And Roer has a solid base on which she rebuilds games and sets Golf After50 players on a path toward becoming awesome. The core of any great golf swing is the address position. So I zero in on the person's posture in addressing the ball and try to get them into balance. I want them to work from the hip joints instead of from the stomach. The motion is more compact and connected, using bigger muscles from the core of the body instead of just the arms.
Some players discover power that they never had.
Losing flexibility may limit the degree of rotation, but a balanced and symmetrical rotation will result in maximum power and control of the flight of the ball. What they interpret as a more restricted swing is actually torque being created. I try to educate them about a swing that feels compact and connected. If it feels too loose and free, it's usually the arms doing all of the work.
