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.

**Tour Confidential: Brooks Koepka’s Heating Up, Tiger Woods’ U.S. Open Spot, and More**
Brooks Koepka is heating up at the right time. The four-time major champion is coming off back-to-back thirds-place finishes leading into this year’s U.S. Open, one of Koepka’s best major performances in recent years, with finishes of 14th, T-4, T-36, and T-13.
And then there’s Tiger Woods. He says his body is good as he prepares for the U.S. Open. Woods hasn’t played since missing the cut at the PGA Championship last month. Even with the question marks surrounding his health, Woods will still be one to watch come Thursday at Brookline.
