Ladies, Any Adjustments for Larger Chests? Advice Needed

[Liteenie]

NO, you cannot see them.

Do those with larger than average boobs make adjustments in their swing? Or at address? Or at all?

New golfer here, any input is appreciated.

Thank you!

I wouldn't normally comment on a thread like this, but in case you are asking a legitimate question, maybe take a look at Katherine Roberts setup and see what you can emulate:

Also, as a man with a large muscular chest, I don't find any difficulty in setting up properly, and muscle is harder to squish than what girls have.  Anything there should help you feel your left arm connection better.  Build pectoral strength if needed.

I appreciate the reply. I'll look more into Katherine Roberts. Are there any LPGA golfers who have a larger than average chest I can look into for videos?

I know, this all sounds really bad and perverted, sorry. I promise I am a female genuinely trying to learn and I personally don't know any female golfers to ask about this issue. I'm seeing my instructor this Saturday but I'm embarrassed to ask. Screw it, I should just ask!

If I'm properly swinging on the correct plane and rotating my torso correctly, should I even be having a problem? Assume my chest is not as squishable as other females.

Christina Kim has some big ones.

Natalie Gulbis is the LPGA Tour player you need to check out.

OMG, Christina has really gotten big everywhere. I watched her hit a few this past weekend, and it did seem that at address her hands were a little further away from her body than normal..

Great thread!

Haven't you seen Holly Sonders on The Golf Channel? She is also in several instruction shows about the golf swing, etc.

She can't even see her feet.

I'm actually interesting in hearing a response from a teacher who has been asked this question before because my wife wonders the same thing.

The part of the swing where it can cause issues, I'm assuming, is getting into the correct position at the top of the backswing, right?

Can you guys try your hardest NOT to give every other male a bad reputation? C'mon.

Very disappointing.

I see my instructor this Saturday. I'll ask him and get back to you.

That's what I'm thinking, the top of the backswing, but I'm not confident enough to say that's where I should be having problems because I'm so new to this.

Thank you for the info! I could relate more to this figure than Christina Kim's although I'm not sure if weight/figure affects swing also. Does it?

It's not so bad actually, I'm appreciating peoples' replies. Thanks for looking out :)

I found it difficult to ask without being too vague and too detailed.

I've found a bunch of videos on youtube on Holly Sonders golf swing, for you to check out. I can't really tell if her posture, or address, or during her swing, that I can tell if she actually changed anything, when she got her new boobs. (When she was in college, they were normal sized, and her swing looks the same?)

Look here at all these videos...

I think it's a two-part thing:

1. On the bright side, you shouldn't be able to overswing quite as easily.
2. Unless your breasts are so high that you can rest your chin on them (or nearly that high), you should be able to swing up over the top of them. Look at a PGA Tour player at the top of his backswing (http://thesandtrap.com/t/58201/top-ten-players-in-the-world-at-a4). If they had breasts, their lead arm would be well above them, and it wouldn't be so tight to the chest that it would even squeeze the top of their breasts.

I just shoved a rain jacket down my shirt to simulate a left breast and didn't have any real problems making a standard backswing.

Natalie Gulbis doesn't have large breasts but they're pushed up quite a bit and she still gets her left arm above them (even though she really gets that left arm tight across her collarbones - most golfers want more of an angle there, providing even more space):

LOL- thank you for the research (the rain jacket thing)

Thank you! Your point #2 plus the photos above really explain a lot.
