Have you ever had your golf pro tell you that your golf posture is poor and that you need to have a correct spine alignment if you want to maximize your driving distance?
Or, you are practicing your golf swing in front of a mirror, and you get that side view and see this big hum in your back?
No matter how hard you try to straighten it out, you just can’t get it to stay straight, especially after a couple of holes during your round. In fact, the more you try, the harder it is, and the more frustrated you get.
Why is this?
Throughout the years, we’ve been sitting for 8 or more hours at our jobs, then we go home and sit for a few more hours, and if you’re honest with yourself, your posture during all these hours is not very good.
As the years go on, your muscles get both tight and weak, causing this sometimes dramatic curve (hump) in your upper back. You cannot fix this through thought.
What I mean is by trying to keep it straight. This is a “physical” issue and needs some simple, easy and very quick exercises you can do anywhere to fix this debilitating golf swing restriction.
If you don’t read this  report and implement the simple exercises I’m going to show you, your golf swing will continue to lack power and consistency.
Let me explain, to help you understand the biomechanics of your golf swing.
Your golf swing is a rotary movement. Picture your spine is this rod that you have to rotate your body around, and this rod is very, very straight and rigid. Imagine a rotisserie on a barbeque. Your spine is this rotisserie.
If the rotisserie is straight, it spins perfectly, around and around. If it’s bent, it wobbles much slower and will not cook the chicken as well as it should, and it will take much longer to cook.
Let’s get back to your golf swing!

If your spine is curved, this will dramatically limit your ability to freely rotate back and through in your golf swing. Have you sometimes felt like you just can’t make a full turn no matter how hard you try?
This is the reason why!
Until you get your spine in alignment, you will continue to hit weak drives that very rarely go straight.
There are two main reasons why you can’t correct this through thought and effort. One, you have a very restricted chest and front shoulder area, which is pulling your shoulders forward causing the rounding of your upper back, and second over the years your upper back (spinal erector) muscles have weakened to the point of them being elastic and not firm.
Take a look at the picture below. The side view picture shows the accentuated curve in my upper back (white curved line).

And take a look below at this picture from the front. I am maintaining the incorrect curve in my back and trying to make a backswing.

Look how I can only go a little bit without coming out of my posture. This is one of the MAIN reasons older golfers can’t make a turn.
Now take a look at this side view (below). This is what you’re posture’s going to look like after you apply the information in this report.
See the line I’ve drawn to show you how straight the spine is here? Believe it or not, I’m not having to put much effort into achieving this position, and neither will you very shortly.

Look at the turn you’ll soon make after you get this corrected (see below). This is something you can definitely achieve, but need to implement the below 2 simple exercises daily to get there.

Now here comes the EASY solution!
This will take you less than 2 minutes, but will make a dramatic impact on your power, distance and consistency.
The first exercise (see picture below) is a SIMPLE stretch you can do several times every day. Find a doorway in your home office (anywhere), or in this picture I’m using a corner wall that you can leverage your upper arm against to stretch out the chest and front shoulder arrow.

This stretch feels SO GOOD, and you should do it multiple times a day! Make sure to do both sides for a 10 second hold. You’ll soon feel your chest area “opening up”, which will not only help you with your upper back posture, but give you more width in your golf swing.
The second exercise is using some tubing you can get anywhere (even Target). Notice in the picture how I’m pulling my hands out to the side to contract the muscles in my upper back?

This is the MOST targeted exercise to strengthen your spinal erector muscles that will give you that straight upper back. You’ll want to pull your hands back until the tubing touches your chest. Repeat this 10 times and you’re done!
The combination of the simple stretch, and easy exercise is your ticket to a near perfect spine angle and many years of fun golf!
Now I can’t cover all the techniques in this FREE report, but I can tell you there are several MUCH more effective golf swing training drills that will quickly and easily get you making a FULL turn and adding 10,20 and maybe even 30 yards to your drives depending on your starting point and initial restrictions.
It’s amazing to me… how simple techniques you can do right in your home, can make such a dramatic difference in your golf swing power, consistency, and accuracy.

Congratulations on taking the first step to making a better backswing!
You’re now one step closer to hitting longer drives.
