My Swing (TheWoodBoss)

[TheWoodBoss]

 

I can see my head moving quite a bit not sure how to stop that issue. My flexibility is not to good, had back surgery 15 years ago.

I've been Playing Golf for: 25 years on and off
My current handicap index or average score is: average score 99
My typical ball flight is: poor contact, I hit it thin, fat or off the toe with the occasional solid straight shot
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Botched Tee Shot

@TheWoodBoss, have you done a recent functional movement screening or are you working with a physiotherapist?

Thanks for posting. You have a lot of sway in your backswing. Check out this thread.

Thank you for the responses. I know the video is poor, I am going to work on the sway. I am not working with anyone like a physiotherapist.

@TheWoodBoss, in short, try finding a physiotherapist covered by your insurance, especially one who knows about the golf swing if you can.

i would recommend at the very least doing a functional movement screening to identify possible structural/mobility issues that could inhibit a good golf swing and perhaps lead to injury if ignored. and given your history of back issues i think it makes a lot of sense to establish with a physiotherapist who knows about the golf swing, at least so you have someone to go to if you start experiencing pain and don't want to stop playing. even better you may want someone to prescribe very simple and easy stretches/exercizes for you to do before and after playing or practicing. 

p.s. i broke my back and have some lingering disk issues so i know a tiny bit about this. even healthy people should do these things but more important for people like us. ☺️
