What makes a good putter good? w/ Dr Rob Neal
We’ve all heard a lot of tips and tricks about putting, but what actually makes a good putter good. Today we talk with leading biomechanist Dr Rob Neal as he shares his research and experience working with the best players and putting coaches in the world.
Let’s Talk About Pressure Shift Instead of Weight Shift
In this episode we look at the pressure + center of pressure and how it can be used by coaches and golfers to optimize their performance.
Ground Reaction Forces and the Reason to Pay Attention
With all the buzz about “GRF” and “center of pressure” what do the different terms mean and what does the research say about the golfers interaction with the ground? In this episode we learn from Dr Mike Duffey and Dr Scott Lynn about the forces going on with the ground and talk about what ground […]
What You Need to Know About Kinetics and the Golf Swing w/ Dr Sasho MacKenzie
We’ll look at the role of forces in the golf swing, from definitions to a practical application you’ll get an overview of kinetics with Dr Sasho Mackenzie.
What the Research Says about X-FACTOR w/ Dr Phil Cheetham
In today’s episode we’re taking a look at the research around X-Factor and X-Factor Stretch done by our guest Dr Phil Cheetham. X-Factor, first popularized in the 90’s by Golf Magazine and Jim McLean, was the focus of some of Dr Cheetham’s research in kinematics. Today we learn – Is it relevant? Does it hold up […]
Understanding the Kinematic Sequence w/ Dr Phil Cheetham
In this episode you’ll learn about one of the most commonly referred to measurements of the golf swing, the kinematic sequence. Learn from Dr Phil Cheetham, leader in the industry of 3D analysis and kinematics as he explains what it measures, what it means, how it relates to performance, and the story of the development.
Getting Started with Biomechanics and the Golf Swing
Over this series we’re looking to explain what biomechanics is and make it as understandable as possible while we explore the golf swing and research going on around it. So you get a fundamental understanding of the golf swing from a correctly researched and sourced biomechanical perspective.
