"I'm swinging hard, but for some reason the ball goes to the right." "I slice every time and can't get any distance." Many golfers experience these kinds of problems, but the truth is that the cause is often not their swing technique, but rather the range of motion of their thoracic spine. This time, we'll explain the real causes of driver shots going to the right (push or slice) and how to improve them immediately. ■ Are the common causes really correct? It is generally said

1. 90% of first-morning mistakes are due to lack of preparation "My body always feels stiff on the first hole, and I hit a chip or a slice." Many people have this problem, but it's not because of their technique; it's simply because their body isn't in "golf mode." Proper conditioning is essential, especially during cold weather or early morning rounds, in order to utilize the muscle strength you have developed through training. 2. Why static stretching can be counterproducti

1. Say goodbye to the "work is tough the day after golf" mentality Have you ever enjoyed a round of golf on the weekend and then woken up on Monday morning feeling like your shoulders and back were heavy and you couldn't concentrate on work? Golf involves repeated rotational movements in the same direction, which can cause muscle imbalances more than you might think, leading to fatigue in specific areas. For business golfers who work in the Nakameguro area in particular, trai

1. Have you given up on golf because you think it's bad for your back? "My lower back gets heavy in the second half of the game and my shots get shaky," "The day after playing golf my lower back hurts and it's hard to get up." Lower back pain is a major concern for golfers. Many people think that their lower back is strained because of a bad swing, but in fact, that's not the only reason. During a round of golf that lasts about four and a half to five hours, the time you actu

1. Are you overlooking the foundation of your swing? "My swing is unbalanced and I can't swing through to the end," "My swing is wobbly at the finish and I can't stop it in a cool way." These are the concerns of many golfers. Many people do squats to strengthen their core and stabilize their lower body. However, when we examine the bodies of many people at our salon "NoName Nakameguro," we notice that the foundation of their feet, the soles of their feet, are not functioning

1. Are you disappointed when watching swing videos? Have you ever filmed your swing and felt disheartened, thinking, "That doesn't look like a pro's..."? What particularly bothers you is the top position. While a pro's body twists deeply, turning so that their back is facing the target, you're just lifting the club with your hands, a so-called "hand swing." Even if you try to "turn your body more," you may end up hurting your lower back or your axis may sway left and right, a

1. The Big Misconception About Weight Transfer "Sway" occurs when you try to put your weight on your right foot, causing your hips to shift to the right. This is a pitfall that many amateur golfers fall into. Swaying not only causes your axis to shift, resulting in a duff or slice, but also causes the power that should be transferred to the ball at impact to escape to the right. Weight transfer does not mean "moving sideways." The correct answer is to **store power in your hi

1. "Slow movement" is not due to age When I interact with many golfers at my conditioning salon, NoName Nakameguro, I come across the same concerns. They say things like, "My body has become stiffer than before, and my backswing has become shallower," or "I try to force the swing, which causes my axis to wobble and hurts my back." Many people try their best to stretch their backs and start muscle training in an effort to regain their distance. However, in many cases, they are

The foundation of your swing is built in your hip joints | Nakameguro's specialist care to smooth your weight transfer and improve shot accuracy There is a saying in golf that goes, "The swing is made with the lower body," and the hip joint plays a central role in this.
