Turn the model, step through the four positions, and mark where your own swing feels restricted. It takes about two minutes and produces a short written reflection you can bring to an evaluation.
Educational only. This is not a diagnosis, not a swing lesson, and not a claim about how you will play.
The model
A golf swing asks several areas of the body to move in sequence: the upper back rotates, the shoulders travel, the hips turn and shift, the lower back stays stable through it all, and the feet keep everything balanced. This model shows where that work happens. It does not assess you, and it does not tell you how to swing.
Hinging from the hips with a neutral spine, balanced between heels and toes, setting the foundation for the rotation to come.
Asks for balanced ankle dorsiflexion, neutral pelvis tilt, and relaxed shoulder positioning without rounding the mid-back.
The upper back and shoulders rotate around a stable spine while the trail hip loads and the lead knee flexes slightly inward.
Asks for thoracic spine rotation, trail hip internal rotation, and lead shoulder reach across the chest.
The pelvis clears toward the target while the upper body delivers the club, transferring weight firmly to the lead foot.
Asks for rapid lead hip clearing, thoracic side bend, and lower-back stability under rotational speed.
Standing tall on the lead leg with chest facing the target, trail heel completely released off the turf in balanced equilibrium.
Asks for full lead hip extension, upright spinal posture without lumbar hyperextension, and single-leg balance.

Your reflection
Nothing marked yet. Choose an area on the 3D model or answer a question above, and your personalized reflection will appear here.
Without JavaScript this summary is not assembled, but everything it would say is on this page already: each area above explains what it does during a swing, and what an in-person evaluation looks at.
Educational tool only. This reflection is not a medical diagnosis, not a screening result, and not swing instruction. Your responses run locally in your browser and are never transmitted.
In person
Nothing on this page is a finding. These are the things Dr. Bob measures and observes during an individual appointment.
Limited rotation in the backswing, a feeling of "lifting" the arms instead of turning, or tightness between the shoulder blades after playing.
An evaluation looks at Thoracic rotation in both directions, rib cage excursion, and shoulder-blade glide.
Short backswing, inability to get the hands high without arching the back, or shoulder aching on the lead arm.
An evaluation looks at Glenohumeral internal/external rotation, horizontal adduction across the chest, and rotator cuff stability.
Swaying off the ball, sliding forward on the downswing, or pinching in the front of the hip when turning through.
An evaluation looks at Hip internal/external rotation on both sides, hip extension, and pelvic tilt control.
Stiffness or aching during or after a round, especially after eighteen holes or range sessions with drivers.
An evaluation looks at Lumbar spine segmental motion, core endurance, and whether restrictions in the hips or upper back are forcing the lower back to twist.
Falling backward on the follow-through, inability to post up on the lead leg, or ankle stiffness on uneven lies.
An evaluation looks at Ankle dorsiflexion, subtalar joint mobility, and single-leg balance with eyes open and closed.
Questions people ask
No. Dr. Bob does not teach golf technique or promise distance gains. A mobility evaluation identifies where physical joint restrictions exist so your body can move freely without compensating.
A golf pro teaches you how to swing the club. Dr. Bob evaluates whether your hips, spine, and shoulders have the physical range of motion required to make that swing safely.
Dr. Bob tests rotational range of motion in your thoracic spine, hips, and shoulders, examines spinal joint mechanics, evaluates balance, and explains findings in clear, unhurried detail.
Golf Mobility
An individual golf mobility evaluation with Dr. Bob looks at the areas you noted — and the joints above and below them — to see what motion is available and what might be asking other areas to compensate. It is an assessment of physical movement, not golf coaching.
