Hi,
I have been suffering from lower back spasms that flare up do to a herniated disk in my lower back. In the beginning phase of my golf exploration I would stack and tilt and reverse pivot. Now I am working on more weight shift and shorting my length of back swing in order to keep solid width. This past week I threw out my back again because I went to the range and hit a significant amount of balls while working on (what I thought was secondary axis tilt) but was more like Tigers new swing impact postion. Any ideas, stories or remedies for preventing this sort of injury so I and others like me can play golf for a very long time. Keep in mind I’m only 29 but am a Marine infantry veteran and that’s where the herniation began was in service. Thanks and can’t what for reply!
Hi Swampfox, Sorry to hear about your back and thank you as always for your service. It is always best to make sure when working on a big swing change that you take it in small pieces and make sure the body movements are perfect before adding the club in for drilling and range time. We can help you with that with the swing reviews on the website. Its an awesome feature that allows us to see exactly what you are doing in the swing and be able to pass along great instruction back to you. When dealing with an issue such as yours, I would make sure that your posture is in check at setup and you are using the lower body perfectly to stabilize the hips and not allow the spine to over rotate. Check out on the site..fixing your setup and perfecting lower body stability and see if that helps get you going. All the best – Chris Tyler
