Golf and Lower Back Pain

3 min
Added on February 10, 2021
If you play golf and you suffer with lower back pain, the cause may be a common swing fault known as Reverse Spine Angle. In this video, Titleist staff member Dave Phillips shows how proper spine tilt (where the spine leans away from the target at the top of the backswing) can reduce the stress and twisting forces put on your lower back during the swing. With Dave's simple practice drill, you'll be on your way to creating a more efficient, pain-free golf swing.
