Abstract

This paper investigates the sequential transfer of kinetic energy from proximal to distal segments in the golf swing. Forty five male, scratch golfers performed driver swings before a multi-camera motion analysis system. Position data recorded from the trials were used to scale and update the movement of a kinematic golf model. The rigid bodies of the golf model were assigned basic, homogenous, geometries with known inertial properties. The rigid bodies of the human-golf club system were subdivided into 4 linked segments. Translational, remote rotational and local rotational kinetic energy was calculated for each segment throughout the swing. It was found that the peak magnitudes of total kinetic energy increased sequentially from proximal to distal segments, while the timing of these peaks did not follow a sequential pattern. This paper describes the use of a novel method of kinetic energy calculation in the golf swing, and its application in club head speed generation. Verf.-Referat
