The Anatomy of a Golf Swing

Many people envy the likes of Tiger Woods because of his world championship winning golf swing. To the avid golfer, the joy of watching these pros in action and seeing the way they swing the club to hit the ball is a joy like no other. To a true lover of the sport the perfection of the swing is the Holy Grail of golf. The golf swing is the defining skill that separates the greenhorn from the veteran and the golfer from the poser.

Because of the popularity of golf in almost all of the countries of the world, many people have come up with instructional guides, books and CDs that could help improve the golfer’s swing. Some of them are effective with some people and some of them are not. The reason behind this difference in the output is the human anatomy. There are no two people that are exactly alike in the same way no two golf swings are alike. Because of the body structure of some people, there are techniques that really don’t work for them.

For example a stocky golfer would have a hard time matching the flexibility and nimbleness of a slender golfer and in return the slender golfer will have a hard time matching the power of the swing of the stocky golfer. Because of the stockiness of golfer A, he is able to use his broad shoulders in smashing the golf club far, but because of the nimbleness and flexibility of golfer B he is able to reach farther behind his back to give his club a wider range of motion for the swing creating a higher velocity impact on the ball.

The outcome of the distance of the two golfer’s swing maybe the same but the technique is different with each golfer. This difference in technique is because of the difference of the body type.

Another way to look at your golf swing is with the help of mathematics and a little bit of physics. When you look at it this way you will be able to see the impact of the numbers on your game. A study shows that most professional golf players achieve a club head speed of 100 miles per hour at the very bottom of their swing right before they hit the ball. Tiger Woods can swing up to 125 miles per hour that means he can hit 25 mph faster that other pros.

He achieves this by reaching farther back on his set up that most golfers. Physicist have already studied golf in relation to the angular motion and the torque force that changes the angle of the club when it hits the ball. Velocity is also an important factor in your golf swing. Almost all club heads weigh the same and for a golfer to hit the ball farther they need to achieve maximum club velocity or they must have higher club head speed at the bottom of their swing.

One of the most common misconceptions that a golfer has is snapping the wrist right before impact is like pressing the nitro button in the straightaway lane. When golfers do this they are actually slowing down the velocity of the clubhead making the golf swing lighter. This is a bad habit that should be avoided.

This usually happens when a golfer is standing to close to the ball during the golf swing.

Have Foot/Heel Pain?

Does it feel like you have a knife stuck in your heel when you wake up and try to take a step? You also might have tight calves? Achilles tendon hurt? You most likely have plantar fasciitis.  The bad news is, if you don’t do something about this now, it will just get worse and might lead to permanent foot injury. . The good news is there is a simple and inexpensive, at home treatment called “the Strassburg Sock” which will readily treat your symptoms and cure all of the above mentioned injuries.  

The Strassburg Sock: A New Treatment

The device just consists of a tightly knit, knee high sock with an adjustable strap that connects your knee to your toes. Thus the sock maintains the foot in a neutral to slightly stretched position. Wear the sock as you sleep and the sock will apply a force which results in the reduction and/or elimination of the pain currently caused by your plantar fasciitis flare up.

Sounds almost too simple, but with this design what the sock is actually doing is keeping tension on the tissue in the arch (the plantar fascia) so it heals in a stretched position at night, while you sleep. While the previous way of doing things was just to wear a “hard brace or cast”, the advantage of this new type of “soft” plantar fasciitis splint is that the the foot is NOT restricted as it is with the more mechanical type of support (ie a rigid brace). Thus you don’t prevent your ankles natural movement and don’t have the side effects of “ankle stiffness” as you would with these other treatments.

Also it is much easier to sleep with the soft, cotton, comfortable sock than a rigid, heavy, sharp brace. when worn as recommended, the sock will not restrict your normal sleep patterns or provide any other restrictions to your nightly routine. The sock is recommended by fitness authors such as Holly P. Kingston.
Even better news is that in addition to healing your current foot pain, the involuntary stretching of the plantar fascia over a long period of time helps to strengthen the foot’s arch thus preventing future injury. So it is good to wear the sock at the first signs of pain as a preventative measure.

Does It Work

The Strassburg Sock is a patented treatment supported by medical research. Most users feel better after just one use, though it takes continuous use for completely curing the injury. Also, many have found this eliminates their need for other meds, like pain relief pills. This easy to use, low cost splint is designed to maintain tension on the tissue, the plantar fascia, and let it heal in a gently stretched position at night without any discomfort or side effects like other treatments.  

The Strassburg sock is such an effective treatment method because the can be seen very quickly. You should see improvement after just a day or two!
