The Biomechanics of the Golf Swing
This article describes the biomechanical sequence of the golf swing — the ideal sequence and timing of the motions of each part of your body during each phase of the…
We define the downswing phase as the movement from Transition through to Impact — see Figure 1. This whole sequence is completed in less that 3 tenths of a second.…
The transition is, biomechanically speaking, probably the most important phase of your golf swing. The transition starts when the first segment of your body changes its direction of rotation, and…
It’s a statement of the obvious, but the vast majority of amateur golfers don’t swing as effectively as Tour professionals. They don’t hit the ball as accurately, as consistently, or…
This article will describe how you can use a little understood, but fairly simple, mechanical principle to generate Tour-calibre club head speed in your golf swing, while improving your accuracy…
If you are to achieve mastery around the greens, it is important to understand that the optimal swing sequence for short pitch and chip shots is the opposite of the…
In Golf Lag and the Compound Pendulum, we saw how power in the golf swing, in the form of club head speed, comes primarily from the correctly timed sequence of…
For maximum power creation in the golf swing, with minimal negative stress on the body, the ground must be the first link in the kinetic chain of energy transfer. Newton’s…
