In a golf swing, the shoulder tilt angle refers to the angle formed by the shoulders in relation to the ground. It measures how much the shoulders are tilted or inclined at various stages of the swing.
The shoulder tilt angle is of great importance in a golf swing for several reasons:
Balance and Stability: The shoulder tilt angle is critical in maintaining balance and stability throughout the swing. By achieving the correct tilt angle, golfers can distribute their weight effectively, ensuring a centered rotation and preventing excessive lateral movement. This stability allows for consistent and controlled body movement during the swing.
Swing Plane and Path: The shoulder tilt angle helps establish the appropriate swing plane and path. The swing plane refers to the imaginary inclined plane around which the golf club should move during the swing. The tilt angle influences the club's path relative to this plane. A well-measured tilt angle ensures the club travels on the desired plane, promoting consistent ball contact and minimizing slices or hooks caused by incorrect swing paths.
