Tuck Pelvis In Golf Swing - Slash Your Handicap
Drill by Hitting It Solid Golf
Why this drill works
S-posture comes from an excessively arched lower back and an anteriorly tilted pelvis at setup; tucking the pelvis toward neutral and bracing the core to hold that position reduces strain on the lower back and gives a more stable base to rotate around.
How to do it
- 1
At address, check whether the tailbone is sticking out excessively, an over-arched lower back: the classic S-posture look.
- 2
Gently tuck the pelvis under from that over-arched position toward a more neutral pelvic angle, without losing the forward hip hinge.
- 3
Brace the core lightly to hold that neutral pelvis position rather than letting the lower back re-arch as you settle into the shot.
- 4
Rehearse the tuck at address and check it holds through slow practice swings so the pelvis does not revert to the exaggerated arch during the motion.
