Adidas launched the world's first pair of seamless running shoes. Once you arrived the top of mountain, you would see the mountains are little. The phrase of classic statement from the poem Du Fu has become the motto of many Donkey Friends. For one it is very convenient. Football jerseys come in different colors and designs. There are so many things that separate one shirt from another. Searching for the right shirt requires a little help. With a search engine, that is easy. Wh
The Perfect Posture For Your Golf Swing (Part 2) 3. The Correct Posture Using A Golf Club This Part is almost the same as Part 1. But, now you have a golfclub in your hands. Some of you might be thinking (as do someof my golf students), "Gosh, I was doing real good with posture.Now, you want me to ruin it all by grabbing that ‘stick thing'!" * Take hold of your golf club. (I will have a future article onholding the golf club.) * Stand at attention with your feet about shoulder width apart.* Reach out your arms so that your hands are almost straight outfrom your shoulders. Your golf club will angle upwards but keepit straight out from your breastbone or nose.* Firm your whole body to maintain body control for thecoming movements.* Lower your arms until you feel the top of your arms touch yourribs just under your armpits.* Snug your arms lightly downwards and inwards to your ribs. (This is that TOUCH position described in Part 1 #1.)* Tilt your golf club downwards until you feel the stretchin your left forearm. (Right forearm for left-handed golfers.)* Bend forward at your hip joints --- UNTIL YOUR GOLF CLUBLANDS LIGHTLY ON THE GROUND. Note: Keep your back as straight as it was before you bentforward. - Keep your head from drooping downwards - DO NOT reach your arms outwards away from the above touchposition. - Your bend at your hips will differ according to the lengthof the golf club in your hands. You will be bent over morewith a pitching wedge than you will be with a 3-wood. - Keep in mind that your spine angle at your hips will bedifferent for each club. - Remember that the turn of your body must move comfortablyaround whatever spine angle you set in doing this step oflearning a good posture. End Note* Bend your knees forward until the muscles just above yourkneecaps start to firm up to prevent you from fallingto your knees.Note: You must move your hip joints backwards for balanceto keep a good forward lean. If you feel too much weight on your heels - lean slightlyforward at your ankles. End NotePractice the 4 main steps above facing the mirror and standingsideways to the mirror. In fact, do so in both sidewayspositions. When you practice this posture process there is a final checkwhich you should do, preferably while standing sideways to amirror.Your hands should be below your mouth and chin. If you lookdown along the cheeks of your face your hands should appearto be slightly back towards your body from your eyesight. This hand position will be harder to achieve for those of youwith large rib cages or very slender rib cages. But, this handposition is the best starting point relative to your body fromwhich you can then make experimental adjustments.4. The Quick Posture Set-up During Your Round Of Golf. When you are in the posture position I have described in Part 1and above you should feel 3 important feelings which will helpyou to be in the correct posture no matter what length of clubyou use.The 3 feelings are: 1. The touch of your upper arms to your ribs just below yourarmpits. 2. The stretch in your left forearm after you tilt your golfclub downward. (Right forearm for lefties.) 3. The slight tightening of the muscles just above your kneecapsto keep you from falling to your knees. These 3 feelings should be felt with your club sitting lightlyon the ground. On the golf course you do not need to do the steps listedin Part 1 #1 and Part 2 #3. The following routine will workvery well during your round. 1. Place your club behind the ball. 2. Position your feet on the desired line at your usual distancefrom the ball for the club you have chosen. 3. You will be very close to your end posture position. 4. Make sure you feel the touch of your arms to your ribs. 5. Feel the proper firmness of your thigh muscles to keep youfrom falling. 6. Adjust your spine angle at your hips until you feel thestretch in your forearm. This step usually means- move your back upwards at your hip joints keeping your backcomfortably straight. This routine can be done in a few seconds prior to your swingmovements. You don't need to rush through this. You need to becertain of being in your best possible posture. Final Thoughts - When you actually swing your golf club - you are to tryto hold these posture angles. - For short iron swings and half swings with a wedge you mustlearn a basic turning movement in these posture angles. - With longer swings a conscious movement or a response to aconscious movement can take you slightly away from the desiredpositions. - The arm lift is an example of deliberately moving out of oneof the posture angles I have described. (In a future articleand my lesson modules I will teach you an unsual movementwhich re-establishes the correct arm position.) Copyright by Glen Osborne August 2004.
