Risk of Injury in Golf Are tour players injured more often than amateur golfers? Golf Mythos: Risk of Injury – Only Tour Players Are Injured – Wrong or Right? Who has a higher risk of injury in golf, the tour player or the amateur golfer? One myth that we have to clear up is the statement that about 85% of tour players are injured by the traditional golf method, based on imbalance, but amateurs are not. Do amateur golfers have an even higher risk of injury than tour players due…

Center of Pressure in the Downswing
Center of Pressure in the Downswing – Competition Advantages What happens to the body´s center of pressure in the downswing? Why the center of pressure during the downswing should be kept stable and why it gives you competition advantages? 50:50 Body Weight Distribution The key principle of Core-Balance FREE-RELEASE of Consistency Golf Swing is fixing real balance, which means 50:50 body weight distribution. With Consistency Golf Swing we keep the center of pressure during the movement as stable as possible. This means the 50:50 body weight distribution starts from the…
Downswing Shoulder Rotation
Downswing Shoulder Rotation – Competition Advantages How important is your downswing shoulder rotation? Why should you optimize timing and why does it give you a competitive advantage? Downswing Shoulder Rotation In the downswing, the pelvis rotates from minus 45 degrees to plus 22.5 degrees, which is 67.5 degrees up to the ball impact. The shoulder rotates from minus 90 degrees to plus 22.5 degrees. This means the shoulder has to rotate about 112.5 degrees up to the ball impact. Both rotations overlap at the moment of the ball impact at…
Function of the Knees in the Downswing
Function of the Knees in the Downswing – Competition Advantages What exactly is the function of the knees in the downswing? Why this part should be optimized and why it gives you competition advantages? Right Knee Accelerates Towards the Left Knee The function of the knees in the downswing is very important and easy to explain. As mentioned in one of our previous videos, with Consistency Golf Swing, we start the downswing by a rotational impulse of the right foot. To be able to do this, the precondition is core…
Sychronization of the Rotational Axes
Sychronization of the Rotational Axes – Competition Advantages Why is it importance to synchronize the rotational axes at the downswing. Why it should be optimized and why it gives you competition advantages? Rotational Axes – Hip Axis and Shoulder Axis As mentioned in one of our previous videos, with Consistency Golf Swing, to synchronize the rotational axes easier, we change the timing of the downswing and start it by a rotational impulse of the right toe. To be able to do this, the precondition is core balance. We start the…
