Lower
Back Muscles. (Changed
- 14/12/2009)
The average amateur golfer has no idea what muscles are used
to rotate the compact upper
body unit during the back swing movement.
Therefore it is important to understand that it is the lower
back muscles that rotate the upper body unit to the end of the back
swing movement whilst the heel of the left foot remains firmly on
the ground.
During the down swing movement
and the follow through movement it is the movement of the hips that
force the shoulders to rotate around the central core of the spine
thus automatically returning the shoulders back to the parallel
to the target line, whilst
the lower back muscles add a supplementary
source of power.
Locating the Lower Back Muscles.
To locate these muscles, put both arms behind your back, clench
you fists and lift your arms as high as possible -- the lower back
muscles are where the fists touch the body.
