What can excessive Reverse Spine Angle lead to in golfers?

Excessive Reverse Spine Angle refers to a position during the golf swing where the spine tilts too far away from the target line, creating an imbalance in the golfer's posture. This position can interfere with the natural biomechanics of the swing and cause additional stress on the lower back.

When a golfer has an excessive Reverse Spine Angle, it disrupts the alignment and movement patterns necessary for an efficient swing, leading to poor mechanics. As the golfer attempts to compensate for this awkward position during the swing, it places undue stress on the lumbar spine and surrounding muscles. Over time, this can elevate the risk of lower back pain and injury due to the repeated strain.

In contrast, improved flexibility and range of motion would generally be associated with proper spinal alignment and mechanics, not excessive Reverse Spine Angle. Enhanced power generation and better contact with the golf ball typically depend on optimal body positioning and swing mechanics that are effectively supported by a well-structured body-swing connection.
