Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed various kinematic, kinetic, and temporal metrics to identify which factors correlate with golf proficiency among 33 male golfers classified as proficient, average, or unskilled.
- Results showed that proficient golfers demonstrated greater x-factor at ball impact and better trunk deceleration compared to their less skilled counterparts, while unskilled golfers lagged in several key performance metrics.
- Ultimately, a specific combination of metrics, including x-factor at ball impact and peak pelvis velocity, accounted for 85% of the variability in ball velocity, highlighting the importance of training for axial trunk rotation to enhance golf performance.
