This test is designed to measure the function of your pelvis. In other words, how well it moves and how much spasm is in the muscles of your hips.

You can have spasm in your hip muscles without you even knowing it, and it can severely compromise your golf swing.


Simply cross one leg over the the other and rest the ankle on the opposite knee. Check how far your knee drops towards the floor.

Compare the two sides.

They should be symmetrical. If they are not then its important that you follow the recommendations to reduce the risk of injuries we've warned about and possibly more.

 
If your pelvis doesn’t work properly, the rotation available in your hips is restricted. This means more rotation is required in the upper back and shoulders to complete your back swing.

This leads to:

1. Less torque or force through the spine which means it’s harder to have a relaxed swing – you’ll always want to ‘hit’ the ball.

2. More pressure on the pelvis or spine and may well lead to injury, or prolonged back ache.

3. Increase likelihood of an ‘out-to-in’ swing (which leads to a slice or snap hook depending upon how you set up and compensate) as you’ll most likely be leading from the top rather than your lower body.
