Publisher's Synopsis
'The Physics and Biomechanics of Golf' introduces a strictly unified approach to golf coaching and learning. The golf swing is very much regarded here as a single motion, whereby static analysis and positional rehearsal take a back seat to dynamics, forces and kinematics.
Providing a comprehensive overview and theoretical framework of modern science based golf theory, coaching and academic research. Key topics covered include maximising power through optimisation of torque, ground reaction forces, leverage, the X-factor. The three distinct modalities of optimising smash factor for woods, irons and wedges are detailed, along with an indepth look at the wedge & pitching games, including technique, intent and outcome.
This unique golf book outlines a biomechanics approach to analysing modern golf theory, distills empirical investigation into three key fundamentals giving the reader means by which to analyse their own golf mechanics and appropriate necessary golf swing adjustments necessary for maximal gains & efficiencies.
