With back injuries in golf rising, there is clearly a need to
investigate and resolve the problem via the biomechanics of the
swing, rather than researching the technology of the clubs. Having
worked with scientists and doctors with a historical interest in
innovation within sporting techniques, at Northern Michigan
University, Michigan State University USA, and Sports Surgery
Clinic (Dublin), we have discovered that compared to the modern
swing our revolutionary Weedon's Way swing creates significant less
torque between the thorax and pelvis without loss of performance.
In the modern swing, during the downswing the thorax accelerates
whilst the pelvis decelerates. As a consequence the thorax and
pelvis act in opposite directions; massive torque is inflicted on
the lumbosacral spine mainly at L5/S1. In the Weedon's Way swing
the thorax and pelvis travel at similar speeds reducing the
aforementioned torque. In essence we remove the axis tilt i.e.
body's side bend on the downswing. In the course of my project I
have collated and reviewed 17 years of scientific research papers
relating to low back pain in golf. The solution common to all
papers is to play/practice less whilst performing core
strengthening exercises. There has never been an evidence-based
alternative until now. 'Swing Weedon's Way the Pain Free Way'.
What if there was a way to get your game back on track and enjoy
playing again to a level you have never reached before, without
investing thousands in golf lessons, equipment, or the latest
gimmick advertised on TV? This book has been created to prove to
you that there is a secret. The secret that you have been
overlooking is your mental game. The mental game consists of
managing your thoughts and emotions in such a way as to allow you
to perform to your highest potential. It can also help to remove
tension from the body so that your swing repeats in a natural,
free-flowing way. This creates predictability in your swing and
ball flights. When referring to 'your' swing, we do not mean your
best attempt at being like Rory McIlroy or Adam Scott. We mean your
own individual swing that you possess right now. By simply managing
what you already have, you can reach levels of the game that you
have only ever dreamed of.
