Reducing Golf-Related Low Back Injuries

Golf clubs purchased “off-the-rack” are tailored to a male golfer of average height and build. It’s understandable that golf manufacturers and retailers target that demographic group, as it is their largest customer. That’s great for a man who weighs, say, 175 to 185 pounds, and stands between 5' 10" and 6' tall. Most everyone else, whether 5' 7" or 6' 5", is forced to use those same clubs. They do so without alteration. They could be doing so to the detriment of their own health.
A study in the November 2002 edition of the Journal of Applied Biomechanics may have began to shed some light onto the importance of proper club fitting. Tailoring clubs to the golfer may now go beyond simple game improvement, for amateur and professional alike.
It is obvious that low low back pain accounts for most golf-related injuries. In preparing for the study, researchers David M. Lindsay, John F. Horton and Robert D. Paley observed that despite the prevalence of back injuries, there was little data on how the trunk and spine moves during the golf swing. Their study sought to compare the trunk Range of Motion (ROM) and velocity when using different golf clubs.
They used a group of 44 golf professionals from the Alberta Professional Golfers Association in their study. Each golfer completed a series of full swings using a driver and a 7-iron. Results showed that during set-up there was more trunk flexion with the 7-iron than with the driver. Likewise, during the swing, significantly more maximum flexion, left-side-bend ROM and right-side bending velocity were present with the 7-iron.
The shorter club tended to place more emphasis on lateral trunk motion than did the driver. The results suggest the difference in shaft length and ball positioning in the stance that is associated with different clubs affects swing mechanics, as well as trunk and spin... | |

Exerpt From Golf After 50

| Fitting is one of the greatest developments and differentiating factors for golfers and their equipment in the past several years. Fitting is what we as club manufacturers did for PGA Tour players for the longest time. Now that we’ve found ways to standardize the process and bring it to the amateur golfer, it’s a true opportunity for every golfer, regardless of age or ability, to customize his equipment to him and his swing.
This is an absolutely huge development because it allows the fitter (whether at an off-course retailer or at your golf club to study the launch angle, clubhead speed, ball speed, and spin rates that will determine the right club–and ball– for you. If it’s been a while since your last diagnostic visit to the pro, you will be surprised to learn that over the years, you’ve done some compensating for your physical deficiencies. It’s time to right the ship, and a proper “dynamic” fitting will do the trick. This fitting is based on a trial-and-error approach, allowing you to try a variety of clubs with different lofts, lies, and shaft lengths that will base your equipment changes on your swing and ball flight, not just your physical stats.
When you swing, you create a footprint for yourself. Certain options for shafts and clubs can optimize your swing. The fitter will know that and run you through tests not unlike your eye exam–he’ll try a shaft, clubhead, and lie angle combination and ask, “Was that better or worse than the last one?” Then he’ll look at the readouts from the machines. After enough tinkering, you’ll wind up with the optimal set of clubs for you. Remember, the golf ball tells all, so watch each shot and see if it gives you the right trajectory, distance, and roll for your game.

How can I make sure I’m playing with the right shafts?
Finding the right shafts for your woods–and irons–goes back to the philosophy of being properly fitted. Matching the shaft to the club and to your swing maximizes velocity, and for those of us who are getting older, that added velocity turns into more yards. Don’t hesitate to get refitted if it can help you pick up some distance, but don’t go crazy. You can go a little longer and a little lighter in the shaft–even in steel, not just in graphite. A new steel shaft still gives you the torsional rigidity of the tour shaft but is 30 grams lighter, which is like a heavy graphite shaft. Of cours... | |
