‘The Physics and Biomechanics of Golf’

Maximise power via optimisation of torque, ground reaction forces, leverage and the X-factor. Learn the three distinct modalities of optimising ‘smash factor’ for woods, irons and wedges. Understand the nuance of the wedge & pitching games including: technique, shot and outcome intents.

‘Discover The Golf Swing’. Employ scientific principles, concepts & key skills to harness correct golf biomechanics, for a powerful and efficient golf swing

This unique golf book outlines a biomechanics approach to modern golf theory. It distills empirical investigation into three key fundamentals. You will be given the knowledge to analyse your own golf mechanics. Understand & apply necessary swing adjustments for maximal gains and efficiencies.

The author draws from a lifetime’s experience, both within the golf profession and as a keen amateur. Inspired by decades of study, applied technical & engineering design knowledge. The book considers 60 years of academic research into the physics and biomechanics of golf.
