Golf Fitness and Biomechanics Assessment

Biomechanical model with joint rotations and torques

Why Get Tested?

We have identified specific physical and biomechanical attributes that define golf swing proficiency.

  • Do you have the requisite flexibility for a proficient golf swing?
  • Do you have the proper swing biomechanics to utilize elastic energy for maximal power?

What Is Involved?

  1. Trunk and hip flexibility assessment to relate flexibility to golf swing biomechanics:
    • X-Factor – pelvis-trunk dissociation
    • Kinematic Sequence – pelvis trunk energy transfer
    • Ground Reaction Forces – weight shift
  2. Golf swing biomechanics assessment using state of the art high speed cameras and force plates
Rotational velocities and kinematic sequencing
X-Factor at top of backswing

What Is the End Product?

Golfers will receive a comprehensive report that will include appropriate exercises to improve flexibility and/or swing biomechanics if deficiencies are identified.
