How to check your posture

C-Posture occurs when the shoulders are slumped forward at address, and there is a definitive roundness to the back, from the tailbone to the back and neck.  This will force a player to keep their backswing short and wide, or they will find it difficult to maintain posture.

What TPI have to say about C-Posture:

The C-Posture is described as an excessive roundness in your upper back and can be caused by the following:

• Limited thoracic spine extension.
• Upper Crossed Syndrome – muscle imbalances including tight pecs, lats, upper traps, and levator scap and weakness in the mid-scapular muscles, serratus anterior, lower traps, and deep neck flexors.
• Scapular instability.
• Instability in the core muscles, causing poor posture and the slouched forward position at address.
• Lack of proper instruction – not understanding the correct setup and posture.
• Lack of pelvic tilt, causing the upper body to bend to address the ball.
• Clubs that are too short.
• Grip that is too much in the fingers of both hands.

C posture swing fault or address fault. This is where your spine is rounded forward in a slumping position. Simple way to test if you’ve got C posture is hold the club against your tailbone, and if your back, your upper body comes away from your club shaft too early, you’re probably in C posture.

Very common fault we would see during the swing from C posture is loss of your posture angles. So you’d see the body changing angles during the golf swing from a C posture position.
