ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to determine the difference between long drive swing mechanical movement and ball velocity among skilled and unskilled golfers using a 3D kinematics approach. The method used was descriptive quantitative, and the data analysis technique was an assessment of the average test difference. Moreover, the sample was 6 skilled and 6 amateur male player groups, with an average height of 1.67 ± 2.43 m, weight 72.4 ± 86.3 kg, and age 25.4 ± 36.2 years. According to the results, four indicators revealed significant differences among the ten kinematics variables investigated, including club speed at impact (P = 0.038), lateral bend after impact ball (P = 0.041), hip rotation at the top (P = 0.045), and shoulder rotation (P = 0.028). In summary, the long drive swing technique in producing maximum ball speed is dependent on the harmonization of the motion sequence from the lower body to the swing of the stick. Furthermore, the rotational speed of the hip joint at the beginning of the downswin followed by the shoulder angular velocity is a movement characteristic of professional players.
