Hi Bruce,

Turning the stomach in the back swing could be leading to your back problem.

In the golf swing you turn the shoulders to start the backswing and keep the hips as still as possible, just try to do a backswing without moving the hips at all you will see this is impossible, they will move about 45 degrees.

Start the swing with the shoulders and keep the hips still until you feel tention in the mid-section, this is know as torque, the power in the swing, once you feel this torque then release back through and hit the ball.....................you should find a much more solid swing and impact.

Hopefully with less back pain.


Regards

Ian
