There's been a lot of good 3d data around here lately. I'm curious, do any of the 3d machines measure spine extension? Are there any acceleration profiles out there? I'm curious to know whats going on with extension leading up to and during impact. Does it slow down and stabilize through...

I was checking out this video of Nicklaus at Augusta in 86. I must have watched it 30 times in a row just to hear the great impact again and again. I thought his hand path in this swing was pretty interesting, it goes pretty much right at the ball from the start of the downswing, then turns...

I came across this thumbing through my copy of Count Yogi's "Five Simple Steps to Perfect Golf", and thought some of you might enjoy checking it out. Its difficult to determine hand path from old video, but here's a stroboscopic photo of his swing. Interestingly, Yogi used to say that he hit...

What is the most common weight distribution on the feet these days? I've noticed lately a lot of swings where the players seem to be leaning out toward the ball, weight apparently on the balls of the feet. What are the implications of setting up evenly balanced vs. setting up favoring the balls...

Last weekend I had the opportunity to go to Colorado for the Sunday round of the women's US Open. I got to watch almost every group, and spent a couple of hours watching on the range. One thing that stood out to me was that many of these women "jump" off the left foot, so that the left heel is...

I thought Martin Hall did an excellent job. He seems too qualified to fit in with the normal drivel I've come to expect on TGC. Nice to see someone who knows what's up on TGC.

I have a question about this. I've noticed a lot of good players have their hands in front of the right thigh when the shaft is parallel before impact from a face on view. I am having trouble achieving this same position, and my hands are generally behind my right thigh when the shaft is...

What's you guys' thoughts on the direction the left elbow points at impact? I've seen lots of variation in this depending on the player. Some have left elbow pointing almost towards the target, others have the upper arm more externally rotated with the elbow pointing more towards the body...

Anybody know where I can find a swing sequence or video of Weiskopf? I've looked all over but all I found was this:

Bubba Watson on 18 at the Hyundai. 305 yards to the green. Hits driver off the deck with 50 yards of slice on it to curve it in next to the pin. Amazing.

Do any of you guys have ideas about what an optimum upright arm swing would be? Would there be an optimal angle of the left arm relative to the ground at the top, regardless of the golfers inclination to the ball? Or would there be an optimal angle of the left arm relative to the thoracic...

What's you guys' thoughts on this concept? (shaft on same angle at impact as address from dtl) Is it beneficial, desirable, or meaningless?

What do you guys think about this setup position for the arms? Is this ok? Or is it better to slightly open the shoulders so both arms are the same height? Thanks.

My putting sucks. I feel like I can't make the same stroke twice. I'm confused about what people mean when they talk about a shoulder stroke. Do they mean the sternum stays still and the shoulder joints make the stroke? Or do they mean keep the armpits closed and tilt the upper torso? I...

I was wondering if perhaps this topic came up at the anti-summit or elsewhere: Are there significant advantages/disadvantages between (1) pausing at the top of the backswing and (2) using an "overlapping" or "blended" transition a la Hogan? Thanks.

I've noticed in most of the double pendulum kinetic chain math models that the segments are the same size. I'm wondering if there's ever been any data released on what the optimum lengths of the segments should be in the golf swing, relative to one's arm length. Is there an optimum arm to club...

Speaking of Vince Lombardi, I'd just like to say.......... WHO DAT? :D Yeah, where's my boy Kevin, huh?

Does anybody use this or teach this anymore? Advantages/Disadvantages? Thanks.
