Mechanics of the golf swing
Biomechanics is the study of body mechanics utilizing the physic laws
of motion that describe human body position and displacement regarding to
time, velocity, acceleration, forces, torque, inertia, and impulse.
However, it is not always necessary to use all the above variables to
define the main factors that contribute to a particular motion.
The biomechanics of the golf swing aim is to provide evidence that
helps the golf player execute a golf swing to produce maximum distance,
accuracy, control, and consistency in each shot. Mostly, it is
difficult to be consistent with each golf swing sequence,
but when you start understanding and improving your golf swing
technique,
consistency will come and you will perform well like a natural.
Research on the biomechanics of the golf swing has found three major
factors that distinguish between expert and novice golfers. These factors
are:
The club head velocity during impact with the golf ball.
Sequence of limb segments and club.
Six key angles formed by body segments and the club head.
