This difference is what is referred to as the moment arm.īasically this– the more pressure you put into the lead foot in the downstroke while keeping your COM behind the ball, the more speed you will create. Now, during the golf swing both the COP and COM are in constant movement and the goal is to create some degree of separation between the two. The COP is basically the point at which the body is producing maximum force into the ground. In addition, the COM will move from locations as the body is in motion.
This COM can either be inside the body or outside the body depending on the body’s orientation at any given time. Recalling your high school physics class you will remember that COM is basically the balance point of the body. Now this may sound confusing and highly technical at first, but stay with me and I promise it will be worth the effort. In golf terms, the moment arm is defined as the difference between the Center of Mass (COM) and the Point of Interest (POI) or what I would refer to as the Center of Pressure (COP). If you want a more thorough understanding of the information I strongly suggest you consider taking Dr. By no means do I claim to be an expert in biomechanics and some of the following content may not be written in perfect scientific context. Note: These are just three concepts that hit home with me on a personal level. However, there were literally hundreds of concepts discussed that may have impacted other attendees and if asked, their list may be completely different.Īlso, please note that this is my personal interpretation of the concepts and how they relate to the golf swing. Kwon’s program which either disproved previous teaching philosophies or simply gave a clear scientific answer to what is actually taking place in the golf swing. In this article, I will be taking a look at three concepts from Dr. The focus of the article was to help my fellow golfers realize that in many ways previous golf instruction concepts were based on personal opinions and rarely did those opinions have any scientific data to validate the message. We need to "to challenge the status quo," in golf instruction– /iu4MS7aea7
