Modern 3D motion analysis from GEARS and AMM3D shows that elite golfers do the opposite. To generate maximum speed and protect the lower back, the pelvis must transition from flexion into extension during the downswing.
At address, golfers typically have 20–23° of forward pelvic flexion. During the transition, this angle decreases as the pelvis extends, reaching almost zero flexion shortly after impact. At the same time, the lead hip rises significantly higher…
