Pain Free Golf Swing - Save Your Back 

Gave up golf for 15 years because of a bad back. 8 years of retirement golf with back pain a major issue (hard to finish 18, ice and pills needed after, more chiro visits etc.). Covid confinement after my first 5 games of the season led me to the SPS and since then, 40 games in and no back pain, no ice and no pills! Not only can I play 27 holes now, I can do yard work after my morning games! Thanks Todd for giving me back ... my back and my golf.

I hurt my back in 1999, bulging disc, L4 and L5. That's when I saw a Natural Golf commercial and ordered the video's and book. Probably would of had to give up golf. Love this video,once again thanks Todd

Main reason i changed Todd and enjoying it thank you

Todd -- This spot on for me.. Have 2 rods and 6 pins in my lower back.. Thanks for explaing this in an easy understanding way.. Much easier and faster club spped through the ball,, Looking forward to your pitching and chipping vids, would also like to see green side bunker play.. Thanks for all you do.. Randy

Interesting not seen this before will give it a try

Love the New intro!!!!!

Love the videos Todd! I have a bad left knee so the forward move into the left leg is a problem.

I watch your videos over and over :-)

Love the new intro! Spot on video as always Todd!

Like the slo motion shots!

Fantastic video, I have hip osteoarthritis problems (on the right side) and Todd's swing is fantastic, thank you very much

That sounds good I’ll try it

More like a violin teacher and less like a soccer coach. Good check point- body over lead leg. Good check point. Tension felt in gluts quadriceps. Sanborn5 quadriceps. Add to this that most seniors do not do any back extensions, use a Universal glute/quad/ adduction/ abduction machine. Muscular and tendon /connective tissue strength is built with slow motion lifts at a percentage of that exercises one rep max. Sport specific power uses that strength to create a dynamic movement. This too is a specific phase of training. Odd thought: Fred Couples has that beautiful looking relaxed and free flowing reverse C swing. One day after a normal swing he fell down and could not move and didn’t know why. You just elegantly and simply explained the reason. Another tour de force video. People watch me at the range. I was down on the end hitting out of the rough with a steep uphill lie to a green. I was trying to figure out what loft to use. Not how to hit the ball. Suzuki violin practice on the range. All the best.

Damn I'm back again!! I no you are right because I was doing just the opposite as Patrick Harrington had said and he was right but it didn't factor in the back.

So succinct.

What a great golf swing. Left frame, at 5:44 or 5:51, right elbow bent just before impact is so good. Pelvis and shoulder clearance is excellent, literally hitting from the side of the body, like baseball or tennis. Left frame again, at 5:45 or 5:54, holding the finish, the trailing knee pointing on a line parallel to the target line. The "Shoulder replaces shoulder" is a drill everyone should practice. I use it to remind me to maintain forward spine angle, not raise up too soon in the follow through. It also gave me a 3-4 mph gain in speed, more consistent distance and ball flight. My big struggle is holding the angles so I can maintain forward shaft lean (dynamic loft) through impact. Right now my body is not in the correct position at impact, so I'm releasing the angles too soon resulting in my arms being straight at impact instead of after impact. This is creating an increase in loft instead of a decrease at impact, so spin rate is too high and the ball balloons up and loses distance. More work to be done, arrrrrg!

Does the single plane golf system require that you have same length clubs

I'm here because I have no choice. I've got an open mind am appreciative, and hopeful

The golf swings of Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood, Joaquin Nieman...do you see the bad compression and increased shear? Many, or most, PGA Tour Players and LPGA Tour Players seem to have the same movement of the head going backwards as the arms pass through to impact.

The modern X Factor golf swing will take its toll on today's golfers. Watch as more and more golfers age and develop serious back problems.

Open stance a bit?

Hi Todd I have a really important question hope you can answer can you do the single plain swing with conventional clubs?

To maintain the bend of the left knee on follow through, would opening up the left foot help? I need to find a swing that relieves stress on the right side of my back. Thanks

This is a tough one for me. I understand it it but I’ve been trying to keep my head from moving forward into impact. At the speed of the swing how do I hold back and release to end up over my front foot? That’s a tough one. I see he does this perfectly but will be hard for me I think.

Hey Todd, I'm new to the single plane swing. FYI I've been a high handicap golfer but never had back pain from golf. Went to the driving range today, tried the single plane swing and experienced back soreness for the first time. Felt like the back adjustments by starting at a single plane at address, and creating the necessary spatial distance to the golf ball, added stress on the back after hitting a bucket of balls. Any thoughts on why this happened? Thx.

Question has nothing to do with the subject. Don’t know if there’s a better forum to ask general question. Just curious, do you set up the same to chip and pitch

So why do we see so many times many professionals look like they hang back after the impact and yes after the weight shift to leading side?

Looks like Moe Normans swing

No
