Who teaches the golf swing that is least stressful on the back?

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.
