Five Physical Pillars of the Golf Swing

Execution of a biomechanically efficient golf swing where speed is generated and transferred efficiently to the club head requires certain physical parameters to be present in the body. If the body is lacking in the required levels of mobility, stability, strength, endurance, or power, the ability to execute to a proficient golf swing will be limited.

The result of a situation where physical limitations are present within the golfer will typically lead to the development of compensations within the phases of the golf swing. These compensations created by physical dysfunctions will lead to the development of swing faults thus impeding the execution of a proficient golf swing.
