The golfer's passive hand pressure and delayed grip acceleration limit club head speed.
Optimal grip speed is achieved by starting the acceleration at the top of the swing.
The golfer's knee flex is improved to generate more vertical force and energy transfer.
Timing and sequencing of lateral and rotational forces are essential for maximum power.
The golfer's technique is adjusted to unweight the body earlier and allow for a more efficient downswing.
Why is grip speed important for increasing club head speed?
—Grip speed directly impacts the speed at which the club head moves through the swing, resulting in increased club head speed and longer distances.
How does knee flex affect power generation?
—Proper knee flex allows for better force transfer from the ground, enabling the golfer to generate more power and distance.
What is the role of lateral and rotational forces?
—Lateral force generates sideways movement, while rotational force provides torque and power. Timing and sequencing these forces are crucial for maximizing swing speed.
Why is early unweighting important in the golf swing?
—Unweighting the body earlier allows for a more efficient transfer of energy, resulting in increased club head speed and improved impact with the ball.
What other factors can contribute to increased club head speed?
—Factors such as swing mechanics, body coordination, and physical fitness can also contribute to increased club head speed.
