Golf Biomechanics
Scientific analysis of golf swing mechanics and movement patterns
⚡ Key Biomechanical Principles
Kinetic Chain
Sequential energy transfer from ground up through body segments
X-Factor
Separation between shoulder and hip rotation for power generation
Ground Reaction Forces
How force application through feet creates clubhead speed
Center of Mass Movement
Body weight distribution and movement during swing
Angular Velocity
Rotational speed of body segments and club
Muscle Activation Patterns
Timing and sequence of muscle engagement
🔬 3D Motion Analysis
Setup Position
Spine angle, weight distribution, joint alignment
Backswing Mechanics
Hip turn, shoulder rotation, arm lift patterns
Transition Phase
Weight shift initiation, kinetic sequence start
Impact Dynamics
Club path, face angle, dynamic loft
