Understanding your student’s physical limitations is extremely important for a good instructor. An injury or physical limitation can dictate the roadmap for making swing changes. At Swing Essentials, we simply ask the student if they have any limitations or injuries. This will allow our instructors to ensure that we avoid further injury to these areas. For in-person lessons we ask our students to throw a golf ball as far as they can down the driving range. A simple “baseball throw” mimics the golf swing in so many ways. For instance, We can see if the student can load their weight and transfer it to their front foot, tilt their spine away and then toward the target, measure their torque and rotation, or assess their hand-eye coordination.
