Good Address Position
C-Posture is address position when the shoulders are slumped forward from the talibone to the neck of the neck. C-Posture can simply be the result of a poor set up position and you can physically adjusting the posture to a neutral position. Unfortunately the majority of this C-Posture are caused by a series of muscle imbalance and joint restrictions that are developed over many years. The muscle imbalance seen in the C-Posture are called an Upper Crossed Syndrome. Upper Crossed Syndrome are combination of tight or shortened muscles (Pec major and minor, Upper Trapezius and Levator Scapula and Lats and SCM) and weak or inhibited muscles (Serratus Anterior and Deep Neck Flexors and Lower Trapezius). The C-posture can also be caused by clubs thatare too short, standing too far away from the ball, grip that is too much in the fingers.
S-Posture in address position is caused by creating too much arch in lower back by sticking tail bone too much out in the set up. Sometimes the S-Posture is caused by series of muscle imbalances called a Lower Crossed Syndrome (combination of tight hip flexors and a tight lower back, paired with weak abdominals and weak glutes).The S-Posture can also be a misunderstanding of an athletic setup position by former athletes who have played basketball, baseball and football, with too much pelvic tilt at address position.
