Analysis of Contemporary Golf Practice Drills: A Biomechanical Approach

Analysis of Contemporary Golf Practice Drills: A Biomechanical Approach

This study analyzed the biomechanics of contemporary golf practice drills to identify the most effective techniques for improving swing efficiency. Ten experienced golfers performed five common practice drills while kinematic and kinetic data were collected using a high-speed camera and force plate. Results indicated that the “Stack-and-Tilt” drill significantly improved clubhead speed (p < 0.05) and reduced kinematic deviations in the downswing compared to other drills. The "Parallel Drill" effectively controlled wrist flexion during the backswing (p < 0.05), reducing wrist injuries. The "Hip Loading Drill" enhanced hip rotation and power transfer (p < 0.05), leading to increased distance. These findings provide valuable evidence-based guidance for coaches and golfers seeking to optimize practice drills for swing improvement.
