Topic 1:
Generating Power in the Golf Swing
This educational series is focused on the Biomechanics of the Big Hitters, discussing the key Biomechanics that are linked to the generation of clubhead speed. As part of this discussion, we will also highlight the differences that exist between higher skilled and less skilled golfers, as well as showing how such variables can be analysed using 3D motion capture and force plates.
This series is made up of two parts:
Part 1: We start off this topic by exploring the importance of distance, PGA tour data and academic research, as well as, discussing the key determinants of driving distance. We then shift focus to the biomechanics that are linked to the generation of clubhead speed, discussing X-Factor and X-Factor Stretch.
Part 2: We continue to explore the biomechanics that are linked to the generation of clubhead speed. Discussing Timing of Wrist Break, Timing of Max Clubhead Speed, Ground Reaction Forces and Kinematic Sequencing.
This series is delivered Online on specific dates throughout the year. Alternatively, if you are a PGA section/PGA organisation, this series can be organised exclusively for your members.

Topic 2:
The Biomechanics of Golfing Injuries I
This educational series is focused on the biomechanics of the most prevalent golfing injury; this being Lower Back Pain. We will highlight the key movements in the golf swing that can increase injury risk and identify posture/swing changes that could potentially mitigate this risk. Furthermore, we will also explain why certain movements can cause damage to the lower back, looking at the anatomy of the spine to help with this explanation.
This webinar series can be broken down into 2 parts:
Part 1: Focuses on the statistics of golfing injuries, identifying the areas of the body that experience the most injuries, as well as highlighting how the injury occurrence differs depending on the skill level and gender of the golfer. (30-45 minutes)
Part 2: Focuses on lower back pain, looking at the anatomy of the injured site, explaining what movements can cause damage, as well as discussing the key movements in the golf swing that can increase the risk of injury. (60-90 minutes)
This series is delivered Online on specific dates throughout the year. Alternatively, if you are a PGA section/PGA organisation, this series can be organised exclusively for your members.
