Your hips are supposed to rotate. Your lower back isn’t.
Every joint in your swing has a job. Some are built to move freely (mobility), others are built to stay controlled and transfer force (stability). When they do their own job, your swing is efficient and powerful.
Ankles & hips → need mobility, so you can rotate and shift weight without compensating elsewhere.
Knees & lower back → need stability, so they absorb force without excess movement.
The problem starts when it’s backwards. A stiff hip forces your lower back to rotate instead, so a joint built for stability ends up doing a mobile joint’s job. It’s one of the most common root causes of back pain I see in golfers.
The fix isn’t just “stretch more.” It’s finding out which joints in your body have their roles swapped.
DM me and I’ll tell you which joints in your body might have this backwards.
