How much Lordodic Curve one should have varies from individual to individual...That's like saying everyone in the world fits into a 34 waist and 32 inseam....

The Lumbar Spine is flexed forward as a result of the flexion at the hips...some extension at the lumbar produces the lordodic curve you speak of...again this varies individual to individual...

Throughout the swing the changes in the lumbar spine are very slight with the major changes occurring during the rise through Impact, Follow-Through and Finsih..moving from Flexion to Extension....





The Thoracic Spine changes are subject to individual posture differences...Some have a flatter upper spine due to the cervical spine remaining closer to neutral...while others who have more flexion at the neck this causes more protrusion of the thoracic spine..making it more of a rounded look....These players experience more changes throuhgout the stroke.....
