Can you hold the gaze of the object(ball) in the center of the fovial field with neutral spine? Are the Eyes and Ears vital in relationship to balance and stability? Is the Spine divided into Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar & Sacral Segments? Does everyone have the same "everyday posture"? Is posture Learned/Conditoned? How many "experts" have won major torurnaments? Here's a small sample of some quantifiable measurements? Cervial Spine....20 degrees of Flexion Thoracic Spine....20 degrees of Flexion Lumbar Spine...20 degrees of Flexion Sacrum....Slight External Rotation As you can see...hardly neutral spine.... Use a 2 Leighton Flexometers an the Truth will reveal that in G.O.L.F. the spine is hardly neutral!!! How many of these cats have "Neutral Spine?" For the Data freaks out there!!!
