Three Easy Steps to the Perfect Putting Stroke Using Your 3 Make a smooth stroke keeping the clubface aligned with the lines on The Putting Arc Place a ball here. and the heel in contact with Arc on half of your 2 practice strokes, 1/2” away on the other half.

It is slightly less for a shorter head left of hole for an MSIII* and slightly more for an oversize head. The Putting Arc works because… 1. It is based on a natural body movement which can be quickly learned and repeated. Results can be seen in several days; thousands of repetitions are not required. 2. The clubhead travels in a perfect circle of radius R, on an inclined plane. The projection (or shadow) of this circle on the ground is a curved line called an ellipse, and this is the curve found on The Putting Arc. 3. The putter is always on plane (the sweet spot/spinal pivot plane). The intersection of this plane with the ground is a straight line, the ball/target line.

  • Blind Golf Learning and Playing the Game
    USBGA Blind Golf Manual “You don’t have to see it … to tee it” BLIND GOLF LEARNING AND PLAYING THE GAME written by Sue Urry, LPGA In cooperation with: Bob Andrews, USBGA Contents 1. Concept A. Coach responsibilities B. Player Responsibilities 2. Learning blind golf (teaching techniques and methods) 3. Balance 4. Set-up 5. Distance 6. Putting 7. Course Management 8. Rules 9. Summary 2 1. CONCEPT COACH AND PLAYER RESPONSIBILITIES Contrary to what one would initially perceive, blind golf is a team sport. The team consists of the blind golfer (player) and the coach. Simply stated, if there were no coaches in blind golf, there would be no blind golfers. The responsibilities of the coach include walking the player to the ball, describing the shot and the distance, helping with club selection, and positioning and aligning the player and the club to the ball. The coach then stands back while the player makes the swing. Then the coach describes the ball flight and results. The player’s responsibilities include being able to swing the club in such a way as to produce the necessary shot described by the coach. This is possible for the blind golfer because, simply stated, a correct golf swing is not aimed at the golf ball, but rather, a ball “gets in the way” of a properly made swing. This involves three main principles. First, the player must have learned the basic mechanics of the golf swing and be able to reproduce the swing while maintaining balance. Second, the player must achieve a proper set-up (this is done with the help of the coach).

  • Golf Swing – Tips for a Better Game
    BIOMECHANICS OF THE GOLF SWING – TIPS FOR A BETTER GAME 2009 Dr. Marion J. Alexander, PhD. University of Manitoba Michael G. Chizewski, MSc. Student / Sport Biomechanics The Golf Swing The Grip "A player with a bad golf grip doesn't want a good swing" - Ben Hogan Your thumb should be on the front of the grip, just a little to the right of center as you look down on it. The dots on the glove show the position the club should take in the grip. The club should be held more in the fingers than in the palm. The Grip In the address position, looking down at your grip, you should be able to see the knuckles of the index and perhaps middle finger of your lead (top) hand. You should also see a "V" that is created by the thumb and forefinger of the lead hand, and that "V" should be pointing back toward your right shoulder. The Grip Cover your lead-hand (top-hand) thumb with the lifeline of your other palm. Make sure that the "V" formed by the thumb and forefinger of your trailing (bottom) hand points toward your back ear/shoulder area. This "V" should be parallel to the "V" of your lead hand. The Stance Feet slightly more than shoulder width apart Ball should be just inside the front foot Knees and hips should be flexed Back should be ~35 degrees flexed Weight should be evenly distributed Balance and stability are key *Grip should be firm but not too tight *Body should be relaxed Backswing/Takeaway Initiated by the rotation of the upper body Weight will be transferred to the back foot Should not be initiated by the hands Back will

  • Forward Dynamic Simulation of a Golf Drive: Optimization of Golfer Biomechanics and Equipment
    Forward Dynamic Simulation of a Golf Drive: Optimization of Golfer Biomechanics and Equipment by William McNally A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Systems Design Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 c William McNally 2018 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Advances in golf club performance are typically based on the notion that golfer biome- chanics do not change when modifications to the golf club are made. A full-swing forward dynamic golf drive model, including impact and ball flight, has been developed to provide a deeper understanding of the interaction between golfer biomechanics and the physical properties of golf clubs. A three-dimensional, six degree-of-freedom biomechanical model of a golfer, a Rayleigh beam model of a flexible club, an impact model based on volumetric contact, and a spin-rate dependent ball flight model have been integrated to dynamically simulate a golf drive. Data from a golf swing motion capture experiment with ten elite golfers was used to validate various components of the golf drive model. Using the flexible club model in full- swing simulations driven by experimental grip kinematics, the simulated shaft deflections matched the motion capture experiment with a high level of accuracy. In the same sim- ulations, the grip forces were obtained via inverse dynamics.
