A lot of talent, but is that swing gonna allow him to stay healthy?
It's not gonna get easier as he gets older. Should he make a change now?

I can relate, mine went out on me today.
I’ve got an 8am tee time in the morning, hoping I wake up fine

Yeah, but we’re old brother.
He’s young, and obviously has the game. It sucks injuries may keep him from meeting his potential

Sucks. Have dealt w back issues since college rugby. Physical therapy has been the best remedy.

Who teaches the golf swing that is least stressful on the back?
I herniated L5-S1 30+ years ago. I am not an elite golfer by any stretch, but I need to increase my flexibility to help with my rotation. I stretch every morning and use ICE and TENS often. I can’t take advil due to being on a blood thinner.
I am limited, but I’m not making a living playing golf, just doing it for fun. I would like to get better.
I am considering a broomstick putter to see if my back pain might lessen. Sometimes I’ll get spasm over a put/chip that just almost brings me to my knees. Has anyone tried the broomstick putters?

Adam Sandler really worked him over in Happy Gilmore... he's never recovered.

Ive heard some people say that putting can cause back problems. I have no real idea the source. But i think anyone who has spent a lot of time on the practice greens has felt some back pain.
I have had lower back pain for years but last year i spent a good bit of time working to strengthen my core. I do some weighted exercises but a lot of walking and stretching through out the week. Every morning i do some rotational stretching. Almost 40 now and my back pain is gone.

Chris como is probably the most famous guy, has worked with Tiger and Jason Day. Day has been playing seemingly injury-free for years after his back problems but he had to completely change his swing. A big key is to actively drop your hands down on the downswing so you don’t have to use side bend to get the club down to the ball. Side bend and risk of future back problems best exemplified by Joaquin Niemann. Swings like Day, Rose, Aberg are good examples of swings that minimize it. Day and Rose rehearse the arm lowering before every shot if you notice
Zalatoris’ new swing still had some side bend in it and overall didn’t look that much different than his old one, which made me think this might happen. He’s going to have to make bigger changes.

Cantlay had serious back issues so much so that he had to develop a new swing to eliminate stresses... It's worked for him. I'm sure a talent like Zalatoris can do the same

Major developments in the world of spine surgery is about 2 yrs. away from becoming mainstream in the US. Zalatoris has had the Band-Aid surgery better known as a microdiscectomy...Tiger had 4 of these band-aid surgeries before having an ALIF at TBI. Yes, it is a fusion and a big operation which causes adjacent level disease in 5-10 yrs. time (leading to possible fusion at adjacent level) less if you're a professional golfer bounding 100's golf ball a day on the range. The future in spine surgery is not fusion but motion preservation ..disc replacement (4 companies have commercial devices on US market) and total joint replacement for the lumbar spine(3Spine). Will has to make some big decisions as his back is jacked up and his future as a world class golfer is in jeopardy.
