The focus of a golf biomechanic is on identifying areas of poor flexibility and muscle imbalances that affect swing mechanics and increase the risk of injury. Recognizing and addressing these imbalances not only improves your swing but also helps maintain an injury-free state.Muscle imbalances occur when some muscles are shorter and others longer than normal, altering swing mechanics. According to Paul Chek of the Chek Institute, five key factors influence the ball's flight and destination:
- Club face alignment
- Swing plane
- Angle of attack/impact
- Club head speed
- Hitting the sweet spot
Unfortunately, many golfers encounter physical limitations that hinder accuracy and consistency.
Common Swing Fault
Tight hip flexors can reduce distance off the tee and restrict a full backswing due to limited trunk rotation. Short, tight hip flexors often lead to lower back pain because they tighten the back muscles, while the hamstring and abdominal muscles lengthen. This imbalance can affect trunk rotation, leading to compensations in the shoulders, elbows, and wrists. Understanding where the imbalance originated is crucial for corrective action.Quick Golf Tips
1. Consult a CHEK-certified golf biomechanic for a personalized analysis of your strengths and weaknesses.2. Engage in exercises and stretches that focus on your specific weak points.
3. Follow a progression from flexibility to stability, strength, and finally power to enhance your golf performance.
By addressing these muscle imbalances, you can improve your swing mechanics and keep your body healthy.
