pulled that one bad

Looked like he hit it pretty fat to me I thought S&T was supposed to eliminate that

@golfprogress I find it interesting that his drill he is keeping his foot perpendicular to the line for the flexibility drill when the swing calls for the foot to be turned out. I would imagine if you weren't flexible or in bad shape any kind of swing could hurt your back, no?

@nclearwater Fair enough, thanks for responding. I enjoy a healthy debate when it comes to both golf swing technique and the impact on the different styles of swing on the spine. Don Trahan, Sr. who markets heavily online (The Peak Performance Swing) claims his swing style is easiest on the back for the middle aged or older player.

Why there was no plane shift?

My apologies KOC. I was not using the book definition. Just stating the plane is not bending from sections 6-8. Thanks for the comment.

Such solid contact, looks unbelievably efficient, but I'm still unsure of that method for the average player. It looks like you need great hip mobility to avoid overextending the lumbar spine in a manner that would irritate the back.

Appreciate the comment. Mike is not a very flexible guy, and neither are most of the students that we teach. Also, Mike and Andy have taught A LOT of tour players over the past 7 or 8 years and NONE HAVE EVER missed a tournament due to an injury associated with their golf swings. The PTs I've consulted have all stated that full extension of the vertabrae is the safest way to play golf. The PGA Tour players are a true testament to the inaccuracy of those who claim S&T will somehow hurt your back.

@nclearwater The TPI guys (Dave Phillips and Dr. Greg Rose) seem to be taking the position that S&T (which they call 'single axis') can hurt you if you don't have adequate hip rotation. In fact they made a video specifically about the S&T swing which I've linked to below. I'd like to hear your thoughts on Dave's comments. Overall he is complimentary of the technique.
OK Youtube won't let me post the link to the video but if you search TPI Swing Styles Part 1 you will find it.

@golfprogress Saw the episode on Golf Channel just the other day. Can't say I agree with there analysis. They seem like really nice guys, but we have differing opinions on physical limitations when discussing the swing.
