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 ratio, as in 1:1 or 1:1.5 ? Conventional wisdom is that you measure the distance between one's wrist and the ground for clubfitting purposes. I'm just curious as to whether or not someone with long arms should play longer than standard clubs, or shorter than standard clubs. And vice versa for someone with short arms.
Surely there must be an optimum club length for everyone that lies somewhere between the extremes of way too short and way too long, relative to their arm length. Does anyone know of any research that has addressed this, either real-world or in a math model?
Thanks for your input.
