Biomechanics is the study of human movement, it is the field in which makes use of
the laws of physics and engineering concepts to describe how the body moves when
swinging a golf club. In particular it's the study in how the skeleton, muscles and
nerves of the body work when hitting a golf ball. Implementing the perfect golf swing
is a dream for every player. Although, the full golf swing is an extremely difficult
concept to perfect. In the biomechanical examination of Jason Browns golf swing
from 2006, the aim was to state the objective of the skill. The objective was to make
the golf ball travel the greatest possible distance through the use of the six phases, in
this case:
ï· Address
ï· Back Swing
ï· Transition
ï· Down Swing
ï· Contact
ï· Follow Through
ï· Finish
Through applying such phases within the golf swing can lead from hooking, slicing,
or pushing to the execution of the golf swing.
Through examining the video of Jason Brown, 2006 golf swing, there were many
problems that needed to be resolved. The three phases in which I have identified
trouble with relating to Jason's golf swing were:
ï· Back Swing
ï· Downswing
ï· Follow Through
Examining the Biomechanics of Jason Browns swing, the principles that were
identified were:
ï· Rotational Momentum
ï· Acceleration
ï· Linear Momentum

Rotational Momentum was a key struggle throughout Jason Browns golf swing.
Particularly in the backswing and through to the finishing position. From this picture
it indicates that the use of rotational momentum is not reaching the desired optimal
position. The club position is far too low, the shifting of the weight is incorrect, and
his use of Rotational Momentum appears to be inaccurate.
Once addressing the ball and performing...
