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?
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
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.
