Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the moment about the center of mass (CM) acting on the golfer-club system during the downswing phase in women’s driver shots. Fourteen female golfers volunteered as subjects. The maximum clubhead speed, angular momentum ot the thorax and moment about the CM were calculated. There was a strong significant correlation between the frontal-plane moment about the CM and the maximum clubhead speed (p
