Question

What are the biomechanical prinicples involved in golf?

Answer 1

The main biomechanics of the golf drive are balance and stability, ground reaction force, summation of forces, momentum and impulse, levers, sweet spots and projectile motion principals. It is these biomechanical principals that enable an athlete to improve the distance an object can travel.

Biomechanics allows us to measure and quantify that movement, providing an understanding of movement patterns and stress created at joints. Biomechanics ultimately allows us to increase performance while at the same time decrease injury potential
