Philosophy of Biomechanical Golf Swing Analysis
Because there is a tendency for golfers to develop motor patterns around physical limitations, we have to diagnose what those weaknesses might be. There could be issues of mobility and/or stability. For example, often times a loss of posture during the swing can be attributed to weak lower abs, or a lack of calf flexibility. We also have to determine whether a golfer’s swing is inefficient or merely expressing “their” style. For example, if a person has an idiosyncratic “fingerprint” of a swing, but is highly effective, then there might not be a compelling reason for them, or us, to alter that swing to fit some ideal model. In which case, we might decide to work on some other aspect of their game.

In addition, we need to catch body imbalances in terms of right/left asymmetries. Moreover, as the body is set up to survive and compensate, if there is a physical weakness, there can be poor movement patterns, or in more extreme cases, pain.

With this new paradigm, one of the most important technologies available to us is the 3D biomechanical motion analysis system. This technology cannot only aid us in diagnosing swing errors and inefficiencies, but can also assist us in pinpointing possible physical limitations.

Golf Instruction into the 21st Century

Traditionally, golf instruction has relied on received wisdom, folk psychology, trial and error, ball flight, and qualitative analysis for diagnosing swing errors. Even with 2D video, golf instructors do not have access to real time quantitative data that could indicate the subtle but important nuances of timing, energy flow, and joint rotation in a golfer's motion.
Until now, the problem with learning to play golf, apart from its inherent difficulty is that training methods have not kept pace with equipment advances. It is a somewhat troubling fact that the average handicap of most amateur golfers has not gone down. Even with the advances in driver technology, distances off the tee have not appreciably increased over the last twenty years. This situation has not been so much the fault of the golfer as much as it has been our inability to diagnose a player's weak link.
Now, with the accuracy of 3D sensor technology and 3D motion analysis, we can pinpoint what is holding back your golf game.
Today, we also must think of playing golf in terms of multiple performance factors and not single ones - e.g., balance, posture, strength, flexibility, coordination, stability, mobility, properly fit equipment, playing the game, on-course strategy, full swing, short game, mental approach, injury prevention, and rehabilitation.
