Bodyweight Squat

The first movement in the DRVN Mobility Assessment — maps to Posture. It reveals how well a golfer organizes the body as a multi-joint system, accesses the hips, and stays connected to the ground.

Assesses: neutral spine control · hip mobility & range of motion · lower-body stability and ground contact.

Scoring (1–5)

Score	What You'll See
1	Minimal movement; mostly a hip hinge with significant restriction through hips, knees, ankles
2	Short of parallel; some glute/hamstring engagement but still restricted
3	Parallel squat; hips and knees aligned, neutral spine, feet flat, eyes forward
4	Full squat below parallel; chest up, posture maintained
5	Full squat with club overhead; neutral spine, strong thoracic control, feet flat

The overhead (level 5) variation adds a thoracic-mobility stress test on top of depth.
