Swinging on a rotary platform

[nevets88]

From the PGA Merchandise Show looks like, demonstration from the Swing Catalyst booth, swinging on a lazy susan, sans the food, kind of like swinging on ice skates or ice, or maybe Chris Como falling to the ground from a diving platform.

Physics! I wonder if Newton played golf?

Was there a specific point they were trying to make with this demonstration? I always wondered about this element of ground reaction forces and what it is. And, more importantly, how to use it properly within the swing. LSW made a reference to it as being "absolutely essential".... The video makes it obvious. So, how do you get the most out of ground reaction forces. Was that a follow-up maybe to this demo?

Think ive just found my new drinking game!!

Most people talk only about the vertical GRF. But those are a small portion of the GRF, and within the swing itself, an even smaller portion of the contribution to swing speed.

Just swinging your arms is about 75% of your swing speed.

The horizontal ("rotational") speed (seen in shear GRF forces) are about 20%.

The vertical GRF stuff is about 5%. And most people already use a bit of that - almost nobody uses 0% of that 5%.

For those of you whom may have an interest in Physics The fundamental priciple of Physics which is demonstrated in the video is a clear example of  Newton's (Sir Issac) third law of motion which states:

"When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body."

In the video example, one body is represented by the golfer, and the other body is the spinning top which offers no resistance to the golfer movement resulting in the movement of the golfer in the opposite direction.

Well...anyway...OK class dismissed.

Best Wishes,

Glad you're not offering grammar classes. Lol.
