The purpose of this study was to investigate the Effective X-Factor in golf swing. The term X-Factor means the relative rotation of shoulders with respect to hips during the golf swing. To ascertain the Effective X-Factor that resulted in a high club head speed at impact six golfers' swing motions were videotaped and analyzed using three-dimensional techniques. The results can be summarized as follows. The standard deviations of the professionals' average club head speeds were higher than the amateurs'. This means that the professionals' swing skills were better than amateurs' in driving accuracy and consistency. As the club head speeds were increased gradually the X-Factors and the club head speeds had reached to the subjects' average club head speeds, but the X-Factors and the club head speeds were not increased above the subjects' average club head speeds. The X-Factor Stretch early in the down swing was existed and Professional stretched values were higher than the amateurs. In conclusion my research results suggested that the increase in Effective X-Factors had no relationship to the increase in club head speeds.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the proper shaft and head fitting methods of the golf club to increase the flight distance of the golf ball. Rotations per minute of the golf ball(RPM), ratio of Ball speed to club head speed(T-Ratio) and launch angle right after impact(LA), which are directly related to ball flight distance, were measured using Spectra with shutter speed of 1/1000sec at the constant head speed of 95mph which was controlled by robot golf swing machine. In order to investigate the effect of club shaft to the 3 selected variables, 10 shafts were used to make ten test clubs with one controlled club head which is the most commonly used by golf players. To measure the effect of the club head to the 3 selected variables, 6 golf club heads which are most commonly used by golfers were selected to make 6 test clubs with a controlled shaft which is one of the best known by players. The shafts and the heads were identified by statistical analysis to increase or decrease the RPM, T-ratio and LA. A proper fitting method of the selected shafts and the club head was suggested to increase the ball flight distance in golf.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of club head and golf ball kinematics and body alignment according to the swing plane during golf driver swing. Method: Sixteen college golfers participated in this study. Kinematic data of the club head and golf ball were collected using golf swing analysis system (Trackman Ver. 3e). The body alignment variables were collected using 8 motion capture system. An Independent samples t-test was used for comparison between the Out-to-In group and In-to-Out group, and the statistical significance level was set at .05. Results: For the club head related variables, club path and club face angle showed higher values in Out-to-In swing plane than In-to-Out swing plane. For the kinematic variables of the golf ball, the total distance showed a higher value in the In-to-Out swing plane than that of the Out-to-In swing plane. For the body alignment, the In-to-Out swing plane showed higher values than the Out-to-In swing plane for the pelvis rotation angle and trunk rotation angle. Conclusion: This study suggest that it would be more effective to use the In-to-Out swing plane for increasing the total distance during the golf driver swing.

PURPOSE: To determine the effect of weight ball throw training as a preparatory exercise before golf practice for 8 weeks on back muscle strength, weight shifting of lower body, head speed of club, and driving distance of amateur golfers. METHODS: A total of 18 subjects were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=9) and the control group (n=9), respectively. For the experimental group, Weight ball throw training was provided to the height of waist and shoulder similar to golf swing with the following schedule: 3 kg weight ball throw training from the first week to the 4th week; 5 kg weight ball throw training from the 5th week to the 8th week. Before and after 8 weeks of training, back muscle strength, weight shifting of lower body, head speed of club, and driving distance of subjects in the two groups were measured. RESULTS: The experimental group showed significant differences in rotational back extension torque, weight shifting of lower body, head speed of club, and driving distance during golf swing (p<.05). However, the control group only showed significant difference in driving distance during golf swing (p<.05). Back extension torque, weight shifting of lower body, and head speed of club showed significant differences between the two groups during golf swing (p<.05). CONCLUSION: Weight ball throw training can positively change rotational back muscle strength, weight shifting of lower body, head speed of club, and driving distance of amateur golfers. Therefore, it might be used as an effective warming up exercise for amateur golfers.

The purpose of this study is to experimentally analyze swing motion with soft golf clubs and compare with that with normal golf clubs. Soft golf is newly devised recreational sport based on golf but focus on the playability for the elderly. The subject fur the experiment performed swing motion using a normal golf club and a soft golf club in turn. The swing motion of the subjects was tracked using an opto-electric three-dimensional motion analysis system. The results were compared against those obtained with a normal golf club. The range of motion was analyzed along with top head speed for two cases. It was found that higher club head speed could be achieved with reduced range of motion at lumbar joint using soft golf club when compared against the swing using regular club. The lower range of motion fur lumbar bending means reduced risk of injury at the joint. So, it is projected that we can reduce the risk of injury with soft golf while maintaining the club head speed.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the biomechanical determination factor for improving club head speed during the driver swing in male golf players. Method: Twenty-seven golf players were participated in this study. Eight motion capture cameras (250 Hz) and two force plates (2,000 Hz) were used to collect peak angular velocity and ground reaction force data. It was performed stepwise multiple linear regression analysis and alpha set at .05. Results: The peak plantar flexion angular velocity of the left ankle joint and the peak adduction angular velocity of the right shoulder joint were statistically significant. The peak plantar flexion angular velocity of the left ankle joint and the peak adduction angular velocity of the right shoulder during downswing. Conclusion: It is suggested that applying body conditioning training aimed at improving related body functions to increase maximum plantar flexion angular velocity in the left ankle joint will be effective in improving club head speed.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the kinetic energy of putter head and ball movements during the process of impact. Highly skilled 5 golfers(less than 1 handicap) participated in this study and the target distance was 3 m. Movements of ball and putter head were recorded with 2 VHS video cameras(60 Hz, 1/500 s shutter speed). Small control object($18.5{\times}18.5{\times}78.5\;cm$) was used in this sdtuldy. Analyzing the process of impact, putter was digitized before 0.0835 s and after 0.0835 s of impact. Ball was digitized 0.1336 s after impact. The results showed that the maximum speed was appeared at Impact and prolonged for a while. Contact point of the club head was within 0.7 cm to the z axis. After contacting the club head, the ball was moved above the ground level(slide) and returned to the ground with sliding and rolling. After contacting the ground, the speed of ball was relied on the surface of the ground. During impact, 70% of kinetic energy of club head has been transferred to the ball.

본 논문에서는 기존의 모델 기반 추적 기법에서의 중심점 고정 문제를 해결하기 위한 비디오 프레임의 화소 정보와 골프채의 이동정보를 이용한 추적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 모델기반의 추적 기법은 골프채의 위치와 스윙 속도에 대한 정보를 4차, 6차 다항식 함수로 모델링하여 고정된 축을 중심으로 궤도를 계산해낸다. 실제 자세 교정이 필요한 골프 초심자의 경우 중심이 많이 움직이는 경우가 많으므로 중심점을 고정하여 스윙 케도를 모델링하는 모델 기반의 추적 기법을 직접 적용하기에는 어려운 문제점이 따른다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 프레임 간의 화소 정보를 이용하여 모션을 검출한 후, 검출된 모션으로부터 골프채가 평행인 두개의 직선으로 이루어져있다는 특성과 업스윙과 다운스윙 시 이동하는 골프채의 위치를 분석하여 클럽 헤드와 손의 위치를 추출해 낸다. 또한 얼굴의 중심점과 양 발을 잇는 직선의 중심을 추적함으로써 사용자의 중심점을 추적해낼 수 있다. 중심점의 이동정보에 종속되지 않는 강인함을 증명하기 위해 중심점의 이동이 큰 초심자의 데이터를 가지고 실험을 하였으며, 그 결과 실제 클럽 헤드와 손, 그리고 중심점의 궤도를 정확히 추적해 낼 수 있었다.
