Post swing pose for golfer Henry Cotton in 1931. The golf swing is the action by which players hit the ball in the sport of golf. The golf swing is a complex motion involving the whole body; the technicalities of the swing are known as golf stroke mechanics. There are differing opinions on what constitutes a "good" golf swing. [1]
The distance travelled by the ball in feet is the 'speed' of the putting green. Six distances, three in each of two opposite directions, should be averaged on a flat section of the putting green. The three balls in each direction must be within 8 inches (20 cm) of each other for USGA validation of the test. [7]
The angle domain equations above show that the motion of the piston (connected to rod and crank) is not simple harmonic motion, but is modified by the motion of the rod as it swings with the rotation of the crank.
Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.
The points scale for the championship included all individual race participants who completed 70% of the winner's distance, although points were only awarded to designated entries in the Intercontinental Cup. Additional one bonus point for pole position. 25 22 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
The average velocity of a moving body is its total displacement divided by the total time needed to travel from the initial point to the final point. It is an estimated velocity for a distance to travel. Mathematically, it is given by: [8] [9]
As of 2011, Watson had the longest average drive in professional golf, with an average drive of 315.2 yards, [1] capable of generating a ball speed of 194 mph and drives of up to 370 yards. [3] On the 2019 PGA Tour, the average driving distance was 293.8 yards, a 2.3 yard drop attributed to weather conditions. [4]
(The distance can be measured by taking the absolute value of the function.) The three green lines represent the values for acceleration at different points along the curve. The expressions given above apply only when the rate of change is constant or when only the average rate of change is required.
