How has Michael changed his swing?
Michael has been working hard at changing his swing for the past year. When he came for his first K-Vest lesson about a year ago, he mentioned he has struggled with a bad back so giving him a swing that will allow him to play pain free was vital. Secondly, Michael has also suffered from a slice so helping him to balance out his ball flight was also important.
After some initial analysis we found that Michael has what we call a 'reverse spine angle', this is when the spine leans towards the target at the top of the swing. This puts a lot of pressure on the vertebrae in the lower back. You can see this in Michael's swing in the 'Before' picture and the K-Vest data showing us that Michael's upper body bend at the top was -7 degrees (his spine was leaning 7 degrees towards the target).
As you can see in the 'after' picture, Michael's spine is now leaning away from the target, making back pain less likely but also making it easier for him to improve his swing plane, making it less likely that he will swing over the top. As you can see the K-Vest data shows us his spine is now leaning 15 degrees away from the target.
