Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the biomechanical factors during the golf driver swing in major phases and to provide insight into the efficient swing movements for golf professionals. Four male collegiate golfers performed swings with a driver while foot pressure was measured. At address, the subjects’ weights were distributed evenly between feet or slightly more on the right foot. During the backswing, their weights progressively moved into the right foot until the top of the backswing. During the downswing, the weights started moving back to the left foot. After the impact and finish, all the weights moved to the left foot. During a driver swing, the center of pressure movements in right to left and front to back directions were not consistent among subjects but all the movements indicated facilitation of weight transfer and usage of the ground reaction force.
