Athletic posture is not enough

Brad Hawkins demonstrates why looking athletic at address is not enough for a free, powerful golf swing. He explains how orienting the rib cage and allowing the shoulder girdle to hang naturally removes tension and creates room for proper body rotation.

• Looking athletic externally does not mean your body is internally organized for movement.
• Avoid holding the weight of the club with tense shoulders; let the arms hang freely underneath you.
• Fold the thorax/rib cage naturally so the shoulders sit underneath the neckline.
• Proper shoulder girdle relaxation frees up room for full, uninhibited body rotation during the swing.
