Breaking News! Here’s what no one is telling you about the golf swing: No one has ever assessed it from the perspective of what the human nervous system and joints can actually do. Not your coach. Not your biomechanics expert. Not your fitness team. No one.
In my 37 years of teaching golfers at every level – from beginners to elite players – I’ve watched the industry obsess over positions, angles, and launch monitors. All valuable. All incomplete.
Because here’s what they’re missing: What can your nervous system actually coordinate? What can each joint involved in your swing physically do? These questions determine everything about your swing pattern, yet they’re never asked.
That’s what a kinesiological evaluation reveals. It examines three critical dimensions:
• What your nervous system can and cannot do for your swing
• What each joint in your swing is actually capable of, based on its anatomical design
• The biomechanics involved in your movement
Such an analysis pinpoints exactly what causes your performance issues (distance, direction, trajectory, consistency) and identifies which joints are most at risk for injury given your current swing pattern.
All other swing analyses are partial. They can’t precisely discover what causes inconsistency or injury because they’re only looking at part of the picture.
The attached video demonstrates one of the biggest kinesiological constraints that exists in virtually every golf swing. Watch it. You’ll see immediately why your backswing might be working against your impact position – and why no amount of “practice” or “mental preparation” will fix a constraint your nervous system and joints can’t overcome.
Want to understand the main constraints affecting your swing right now? I’ve written a white paper that breaks them down. You can get the paper through the link discussed in the video.
These constraints are the foundational ones I see in almost all typical swings – and there are many more that I evaluate when I do a full kinesiological analysis.
This, golfers, is truly the missing piece in golf instruction. And now you know it exists.
