New Golf frontier ? Biomechanics

[Uncle Lau]

Yesterday had a lovely evening walking 9 holes at Singapore Island Country Club, Sime course.

Was chatting with my lady friend and a subject on biomechanics was the topic......

Her son had a few sessions with Ryan Lumsden, world renowned coach in Golf Swing Biomechanics in SICC somewhere in March. I was puzzled and ask what is a Biomecahnics ?.....

* Biomechanics are a 3-D progamme on a Laptop that shows the dynamics, timing, co-ordination, injury risk factor and golf swing of a students.

* sensors are stick n many parts body like the shoulders, chest, hips and head. The sensors than feed the computer as the person swing his club.

* A Laptop than presents a 3-D model, and this is shown to the student, his dynamics, timing, co-ordination, injury risk factors based on his or her golf swing

* This new technology thus provide a deeper understanding on the athleticism of each golfers, with ball speed, swing speed, biomechanics on each player, making video cameras as teaching tool could be a thing of the past real soon.

Anyone got more information on this new piece of technology, please share with everyone ! thanks !

Googled it and found some information in here.

Not sure how new it is. Does the system have ties to Titleist Performance Institute?

They can do the 3D imaging with a set of several cameras rather than sticking sensors to you body now.

Don't worry, plenty of people are already eyeing this "whole new lucrative niche".

You too can become a "certified golf swing biomechanic" in a weekend and help your clients gain 45 yards on their six irons by activating the transverse abdominis.

... by activating the transverse abdominis.

Warning: This may be illegal in some USA states, and three southern European nations.

I'm having this done at a training facility I go to on Wedensday. It's part of the membership fee so nothing extra out of pocket. I dunno if it will make a difference, but it sounds cool.


FYI...

The place I go to is related to the Titleist Performance Institute
