I recently asked Grok 3 to consider the online content of golfbiomechanics.net and with that in mind, go search for relevant sources and data, in order to provide a biomechanics analysis of world number one Scottie Scheffler’s golf swing. At first pass things looked quite promising, but more than a few details seemed oddly rationalised.…

‘Loading’ in the Golf Swing
A players interaction with the ground facilitates the generation of torques, rotations and velocities in the golf swing. One would not generate much clubhead speed while floating about in space! Swing theory in this regard appears to have progressed through three discrete phases over recent decades. I am not a golf historian; consider the following…
The Hands in the Golf Swing Part 3
Lag and Impact Conditions Generally lag, clubhead path & speed, together with angle of attack are the most critical variables at impact. They are neither the complete, nor formal definition of ‘impact conditions’ but are key to biomechanics consideration. Of these the first, ‘lag’ has a uniquely simple biomechanics origin.The mechanics of lag are commonly…
The Hands in the Golf Swing Part 2
Minimising hand and wrist involvement if the golf swing ‘The hands should have little if any involvement prior to the lead arm being vertical to the ground in the backswing’. So how does this work exactly? How does the clubhead move away in advance of the hands with minimal hand or wrist involvement? The answer……
