Biomechanics analysis by golf drive swing pattern

Rotational biomechanics of the elite golf swing: benchmarks for amateurs.

The purpose of this study was to determine biomechanical factors that may influence golf swing power generation. Three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics were examined in 10 professional and 5 amateur male golfers. Upper-torso rotation, pelvic rotation, X-factor (relative hip-shoulder rotation), O-factor (pelvic obliquity), S-factor (shoulder obliquity), and normalized free moment were assesse...

Study on the dynamics of golf swing and impedance control for a golf swing robot

Visual Golf Club Tracking for Enhanced Swing Analysis

This paper presents a new visual tracking technology that relies on the use of a global motion model to achieve robustness. We demonstrate its effectiveness for the purpose of retrieving the 2D spatio-temporal trajectory of a golf club head from ordinary video sequences of golf swings, so that information about club orientation, local speed and acceleration can also be obtained. We have integra...

Work and power analysis of the golf swing.

A work and power (energy) analysis of the golf swing is presented as a method for evaluating the mechanics of the golf swing. Two computer models were used to estimate the energy production, transfers, and conversions within the body and the golf club by employing standard methods of mechanics to calculate work of forces and torques, kinetic energies, strain energies, and power during the golf ...

Muscle activity during the golf swing.

In the right hands, the golf swing is a motion that inspires looks of awe from the public. It is a complex movement of the whole body to generate power to a golf ball to propel the ball great distances with accuracy. This movement relies on the coordinated sequence of muscle activation to produce a fluid and reproducible movement. This paper reviews the literature on golf swing related muscle a...
