Hi All

I received an interesting e-mail regarding studies of the golf swing. My search found the authors but so far I have not been able to find the articles they wrote. It would be helpful to this discussion if anyone could find these articles and post them on the board. Below is part of the e-mail.

Here are a couple of studies using double pendulum model, finding torque responsible for a large amount of angular acceleration

3d kinematics and kinetics of the golf swing. International Journal of sport Biomechanics Aug 1985 1 (3) p221-232 Neal, Wilson


A 3d analysis of the forces and torque applied by a golfer during the downswing. Biomechanics VII-B p 325-331 Vaughn (1981) <<
