현대의 스포츠는 과학기술의 발전과 함께 성장하고 있고 골프종목 역시 재료역학적, 공기역학적 발전에 따라 비거리를 점점 늘려가고 있다. 하지만 현재까지의 비거리에 대한 연구는 골프공과 골프채의 재료의 변화와 딤플이 있는 골프공의 공기역학적 연구에 집중해 있었고 요즘에 들어서야 클럽헤드의 공기역학적 형상에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 골프 경기 중 가장 먼 비거리를 만들어 내는 골프채인 드라이버의 단순화된 2차원 클럽헤드 형상을 설정하고 항력을 줄일 여러 가지 방법을 적용하여 최소의 항력을 갖는 헤드 형상을 찾아보았다. 연구결과 $10.2^{\circ}$의 로프트를 갖는 클럽헤드는 chord 길이가 face 높이의 3.2배이고, trailing edge가 face의 중심보다 전체 face높이의 10% 아래에 있을 때 가장 적은 항력을 얻을 수 있었다. 결과적으로 이 형상과 기존형상의 스윙 속도 차는 약 2mph로 5yard의 비거리 차이를 가져온다.

This study was aimed to evaluate the characteristics of impact sound of golf driver according to impact points of its face. In order to get the consistent impact sounds, the apparatus for free golf ball drop was prepared and used. Timed amplitude patterns and maximum spectral peaks of the impact sounds were variant according to the impact points of driver face. As an alternative method of impact sound analysis, cumulative sum of spectral power (cumsum) was used to distinguish between impact sounds according to the impact positions. From the comparison of frequencies representing 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% of cumsum of impact sound, 40% cumsum frequency of the center of driver face was lower than that of the toe and the heel. This finding suggests that the impact sound from the center of driver face has higher spectral power of low frequency component than that of the toe and heel.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the optimum driver selection according to shaft intensity, shaft length and shaft weight that are determining factors of driver shot. To achieve the above purpose, the subject were participate with handicap zero 10 male pro golfer and mean score 90(handicap about 18) amateur 10 male golfer. The used club limited number 1 driver, we tested 24 driver which is shaft intensity, length, weight, total weight and swing weight. Dependent variable was strike ball speed, flying distance and head speed. The findings can be summarized as follows. First, There is a significantly difference in CPM. Ball speed, head speed and flying distance according to driver shaft intensity were found to be the best when CPM is 230<. Second, There is a significantly difference in shaft length. Ball speed, and head speed according to driver shaft length were found to be the best at 46 inch and flying distance were found to be the best at 45 inch. Third, There is not significantly difference in SW. Ball speed and flying distance according to driver shaft weight were found to be the best with 65g. In the case of head speed, it was the fastest with 50g shaft. Four, total variables were significantly difference between in pro and amateur golfer. In conclusion, there would be differences in individual physical condition but the best result was found with a driver of CPM 230<, shaft length 46inch, and shaft weight 65g.

The purpose of this study was to analyze relationship between biomechancal factors and diver's distance during golf driver swing. Fifteen professional golfers were participated in as subject. Eight motion capture cameras(250 Hz), 2 force plates(1000 Hz), and Trackman were used to collect kinematic and kinetic datas. It was performed Pearson's correlation analysis using SPSS 24.0. The level of significance was at .05. Ball speed, club head speed, X-Factor, and ground reaction force were correlated on driving distance, However, smash factor and knee moment were not correlated on driving distnace. Ball speed, club head speed, X-Factor, and ground reaction force were effected to driving distance, but smash factor and knee moment were not effected to driving distance.

Many athletes have been using occlusal stabilization appliances to improve their performance. Few studies have examined the benefits of such an appliance in golf. We determined the effect of such appliances on the masticatory muscle activities and driving distances of professional golf players. The appliances were customized for each player and adjusted using a computerized device. The electromyographic muscle activities and driving distances with and without the appliance were measured and compared using the K7 Analyzer and the GolfAchiever II assembly. A paired t-test was used for statistical analysis. The muscle activities of the temporo-frontal and masseter muscles with the appliance were significantly more stable than those without the appliance, and the driving distances with the appliance were significantly different from those without it. Although there were intra-individual differences, professional golf players with temporomandibular disorders showed a greater improvement in performance.

In this paper, we describe a measurement system based on vision for detecting the rotation axis of dimpled golf ball. Some golf balls have wrong rotation axis owing to bad production and scratch. A flying golf ball makes sliced or curved motion mainly to owing the wrong rotation axis of golf ball. Dimples of golf ball make a golf ball higher and more straight flying. When we hit a golf ball by driver or iron club, the dimpled ball flies straight and rotates as well. While the ball flying, the rotating axis of the ball convergence. And this makes the ball motion curved. If we hit a golf ball in direction of the rotation axis, the flying ball makes straight motion. In this paper, we develop a control system to detect convergence axis and time of flying golf ball based on vision system. To show validity of the developed system, We experimented several case for dimpled golf balls.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of golf shoe design on kinematic variables during golf swing. Five professional male golfers with shoe size 270mm were recruited for the study. Swing motion was collected using 8 high speed camera motion analysis at a sampling of 180Hz. Kinematic variables were calculated by EVaRT 4.2 software. Driver swing was divided into four events; El(adress), E2(top), E3(impact) and E4(finish). Time, peak velocity, velocity of center of mass, velocity of the foot and ankle angle during Phase 1(El-E2), Phase 2(E2-E3), and Phase 3(E3-E4) were analyzed in order to investigate the relationship between golf shoe design and swing performance. The findings indicated that type C golf shoes would be beneficial for stability and control of movement during address and swing performance. Furthermore, faster speed of golf shoes, center of mass, and both feet were observed with Type C golf shoes. It is expected that golfers with Type C golf Shoes provide greater force as they control the center of mass faster and increase rotational force during impact compared to other golf shoes.

The purpose of this study was to explore which factors mostly influenced players' tour results employing tour skill factors provided by LPGA. For this study, Top 10 LPGA players' stats during 9 years (2004 2012) were used. As matter of fact, 10 variables were used like average score, top 10 finish, average putt, average birdies, average eagles, driving distance, driving accuracy, greens in regulation, sand saves, putts per GIR. and prize money earning. Stepwise multiple regression was conducted using SPSS win 20.0.

본 연구의 목적은 숙련된 골프선수들의 골프 스윙동작 시 상이한 무게중심 변환 형태가 존재하는지 그리고 만약 이 상이한 무게중심 변환 형태가 존재한다면 어떤 형태로 나타나는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 실험을 위해 13명의 남자 대학 엘리트 골프 선수들을 대상으로 드라이버를 이용한 스윙을 실시하게 하였다. 수직 지면 반력과 압력중심 이동 패턴을 측정하기 위해 지면반력기 2대와 스윙 동작 시 critical event 설정을 위해 1대의 고감도 비디오 카메라를 사용하였다. 또한 스윙 결과로 나타나는 비거리, 클럽헤드 속도를 측정하기 위해 스윙 분석기를 이용하였다. 피험자 간 상호 비교를 위해 측정된 수직 지면반력 성분은 몸무게를 이용하여 표준화하였고 압력중심은 어드레스시의 압력중심을 원점으로 재 계산하였다. 또한 임팩트 시 측정된 좌우 수직 지면반력 성분을 이용하여 두 가지의 상이한 스윙 스타일로 구분하였다. 연구결과 8명(62%)의 피험자에게서 좌측 수직력 성분이 상대적으로 높은 전족(FFS) 스타일임이 밝혀졌고 5명(38%)은 그 반대인 리버스(RFS) 스타일임이 밝혀졌다. 이 전족 스타일은 대부분의 골퍼들이 선호하고 또 그렇게 하여야만 한다고 믿고 있는 스윙방식이다. 이와 반대인 리버스 스타일은 코치들이 금기시 하는 스윙의 형태로서 초보자, 즉 비숙련 자에게만 나타나는 전형적인 스윙형태라고 인지되고 있다. 하지만 이 두 가지 스윙 스타일이 초보자가 아닌 숙련된 골프 선수들에게서도 실제 존재한다는 것이 본 실험 결과로 나타났다. 평균 압력중심 이동 패턴은 전후축 방향의 경우 RFS 스타일 그룹이 RFS 스타일 그룹에 비해 압력중심 이동이 크게 나타났고 좌우축의 경우에도 RFS 그룹이 FFS 그룹에 비해 압력중심 이동이 크게 나타났다. 특히 임팩트 시 압력중심의 위치가 FFS 그룹은 전족 근처에 있는 반면 RFS 그룹은 후족(rear foot)에 위치하여 두 스윙 스타일의 차이점을 분명하게 보여주었다. 따라서 비록 이 RFS 스타일이 대부분의 코칭 이론과는 상반되는 무게중심 이동 패턴을 보여주었지만 이 스윙 스타일이 잘못된 것이 아닌 실제 존재하는 하나의 스윙 스타일로 인식하여 스윙 지도 시 이에 알맞은 적절한 교습법을 마련해야 할 것이다.

Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) is one of the most effective method in design of golf clubs for determination of optimum shapes in short lead time. A new design of golf club drive with gas-filled titanium head has been carried out using two FEM softwares MARC and DYNA-3D. The main research work focuses on the decision of face thickness and the effect of filled gas pressure by analyzing the change of the kinematic energy of the ball during impact.
