Forces and Torques Near to Impact in the Golf Swing
Robert D. Grober
Motivated by MacKenzie's observation of a negative force couple near to impact, this paper explores a model for how the golf club moves near to impact. It assumes the golf club is…
The Geometry of Putting on a Planar Surface
Robert D. Grober
This paper explores the geometry of putting in the limiting case of a planar putting surface. Putts equidistant from the hole originating on an arc spanning \pm30 degrees are shown…
Resonance as a Means of Distance Control in Putting
Robert D. Grober
This paper extends an initial study [arXiv:0903.1762v1] where it was shown the tempo of the putting strokes of accomplished golfers can be explained by assuming these golfers drive…
Measuring Tempo, Rhythm, Timing, and the Torques that Generate Power in the Golf Swing
Robert D. Grober
This paper summarizes two previously published technical papers describing what can be learned from measuring the motion of the golf club using two accelerometers. The sensors are…
Resonance in Putting
Robert D. Grober
It is shown that the putting stroke of world class golfers can be described as the motion of a pendulum driven at twice its natural resonance frequency. This model minimizes error…
Towards a Biomechanical Understanding of Tempo in the Golf Swing
Robert D. Grober, Jacek Cholewicki
It is proposed that aspects of the tempo of the golf swing can be understood in terms of a biomechanical clock. This model explains several aspects of tempo in the golf swing; incl…
