Get your life back!!
Sorry it's been a week!
I didn't know that Arron was going to be here for four days, so I am a little behind!
But, the coolest thing happened while he was here, and I tell you this because I want to encourage you to continue to persue your fitness and performance goals no matter what they are!
Arron came into town down in the dumps about where his body was. It was sore, tired, and his wrist surgery he had last august was still very painful.
But I scheduled him for his appointments to see one of my Chiropracters that I use and he had used before, Doc Trisha Shaar. She found that his hand (left) was contributing to a lack of nuerological communication from the hand and arm to the brain. Knowing this, she referred him to Doc Paul Thom who is a Chiropracter that specializes in extremity adjustments, and let me tell you, he went thru Arron's hand and elbow and adjusted 3 hand bones, and made 2 elbow corrections.
Immediately Arron could move his elbow and hand into positions he couldn't before and with out pain!
Now, the second important part.
I performed my extensive testing and created a program for him (that took 3.5 hrs BTW!), and I got a call from Arron today telling me how great it feels to feel the strength and stability coming back into his arm, shoulder and hand!
So, in the end, even if you have pain or lack of performance...just know that it is happenening to the best of the best athletes in the world, and all you need to do is seek out a great "body" team and be persistant with your care and conditioning program and you to, can live a life that you desire!

Swing Fault- "Sway?"
Defined-
A sway is any excessive lower body lateral movement away from the target during the backswing that forces the weight to the outside of the back foot. This fault makes it very difficult to develop a proper weight shift during transition and the downswing. If there is no stable platform to drive their weight off of during transition, golfers will lose power and inadvertently try to develop speed in an inefficient manner.
Causes-
1. Right Hip Internal rotation- is paramount for full rotation into the right hip without any lateral sway for a right handed golfer. If the body is unable to rotate around the right hip due to joint or muscular restriction, lateral movements will dominate the pattern.
2. Separation of Lower and Upper body- Separation of lower and upper body allows the lower body to laterally stabilize while rotating during a large shoulder turn. Limited trunk to pelvis separation is usually caused by reducing spinal mobility and shortened lat flexibility.
3. Glute Strength- The ability to stabilize the right leg during the backswing is directly proportional to the strength and stability of the glute muscles (your booty!) When it comes to lower body lateral stabilization, the glute medius is the king! It helps the right hip from elevating and shifting laterally during an aggressive coil into the right hip.

Remember, I believe that the way to permanently get rid of swing faults is to find out what causes them, address them with a strong golf fitness program, while simultaneously seeing your golf professional for drills!

Swing Fault- "Over the Top"
Defined-Over the top is perhaps the most common swing fault among high handicap golfers. It usually occurs due to an overuse or over-dominance of the upper body on the downswing. As a result the club is thrown outside of the intended swing plane, with the club-head approaching the ball from the outside in. This creates a pull if the clubface is square or a slice if the clubface is open.
This fault can rob a golfer of power and limit their ability to control the ball flight as they add or decrease loft to the club and additional spin to the ball through impact. By changing the path, they will create a more solid strike and increase their distance and accuracy.
Causes-
1. The ability to disassociate the lower body from the upper body- to lead the downswing. Limited pelvis to trunk separation is usually caused by reduced spinal and hip mobility.
2. Core stability to help maintain posture and trunk stability is essential. Any loss in posture (flat shoulder plane or reverse spinal angle) can force the torso and arms to fire first in transition to help re-position the body for rotation.
3. Good Balance on each leg, especially the lead leg, is paramount for proper weight shift. Limited weight shift toward the lead leg can reduce the lower body’s contribution to power generation in the swing. Therefore, players will try to produce excessive power in their upper body by chopping down or throwing the club-over- top.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE A SWING FAULT IS IN THE GYM!
