SwingTRU Motion Study

高尔夫挥杆大数据

史上最全面的基于客观事实的挥杆数据研究。

在研究中，我们收集了所有球手超过9000万次的球手挥杆数据，我们的目的是弄清楚这些数据背后蕴含着关于高尔夫挥杆存在的最强有力的信息是什么，并提供一个基于事实的依据，来分析诊断挥杆中的身体姿势与技能水平之间的关系。

测量您的数据

因此，我们从超过13000名不同球技水平的高尔夫球手挥杆数据库中，选取针对高尔夫挥杆动作中牵涉到的48种不同的身体动作来创建GOLFTEC SwingTRU挥杆数据研究。

通过我们的研究发现，球员的球技水平与挥杆过程中关键身体姿势的标准与否有直接相关——这一确凿证据为我们进一步了解球员的高尔夫挥杆以及在课程中帮助球员提高挥杆效率，提供了强有力的学术支撑。

我们收集了范围从职业到差点30的球手，研究强调了其中六种与球技水平最息息相关的身体动作。

What is the SwingTRU Motion Study?

Key Positions

Relating to Skill Level

The GOLFTEC SwingTRU Motion Study found a large number of correlations relating skill level to body positions within the swing. From the professional golfer to 30 handicap, we've highlighted six of these positions that most directly relate to skill level.

Hip Sway Top Position

Hip Sway - Top Position

Hip Sway: The lateral movement of the hips toward or away from the target.

Conclusion: The lower the handicap, the more the hips have moved toward the target at the top of the backswing, closer to the professional golfer at 3.9 inches toward the target.

Key Benefits: Accuracy, Distance

Shoulder Tilt Top Position

Shoulder Tilt - Top Position

Shoulder Tilt: The angle of the shoulders measured against a level (upright) position.

Conclusion: The lower the handicap, the more the shoulders have tilted at the top of the backswing, closer the professional golfer at 36 degrees.

Key Benefits: Accuracy, Contact

Hip Sway Impact Position

Hip Sway - Impact Position

Hip Sway: The lateral movement of the hips toward or away from the target.

Conclusion: The lower the handicap, the more the hips have swayed toward the target at impact, closer to the professional golfer average of 1.6 inches toward the target.

Key Benefits: Accuracy, Contact

Hip Turn Impact Position

Hip Turn - Impact Position

Hip Turn: The angle (rotation) of the hips in relation to the target line.

Conclusion: The lower the handicap, the more the hips have rotated open to the target at impact, closer to the professional golfer at 36 degrees open.

Key Benefits: Distance, Contact

Shoulder Tilt Impact Position

Shoulder Tilt - Impact Position

Shoulder Tilt: The angle of the shoulders measured against a level (upright) position.

Conclusion: The lower the handicap, the more the shoulders have tilted at impact, closer to the professional golfer at 39 degrees.

Key Benefits: Accuracy, Contact

Shoulder Bend Finish Position

Shoulder Bend - Finish Position

Shoulder Bend: The backward or forward movement of the shoulders.

Conclusion: The lower the handicap, the more the shoulders have bent back (away) from the target at the finish position, closer to the professional golfer at 32 degrees back.

Key Benefits: Distance, Contact

SwingTRU FAQ

Common Questions Answered

What is the SwingTRU Motion Study?
The SwingTRU Motion Study is a summary of data we have collected from teaching over 6 million golf lessons since 1995, revealing which body motions correlate most directly to the success of a golfer.
Why is the SwingTRU Motion Study important?
This study gives GOLFTEC Certified Personal Coaches and their students factual data to determine differentiators between low- and high-handicap golfers. This creates a clear understanding to aid the most effective and efficient paths toward improvement.
How were the six positions highlighted in the SwingTRU Motion Study chosen? Are there more positions that correlate to skill level, or only these six?
The positions highlighted were chosen because they embody some of the most direct relationships to skill level, and are some of the most misunderstood measurements in the golf swing. There are many more measurements the study concluded that strongly correlate to a golfer’s success, but these six were chosen as a great starting point to help golfers improve.
How does the SwingTRU Motion Study change GOLFTEC’s instruction?
The SwingTRU Motion Study does not alter GOLFTEC’s instruction in any way, nor does it prescribe a specific method of instruction or swing theory. It simply provides factual information to specific motions within the swing that can be used for significant starting points to aid student improvement. The basis for all GOLFTEC instruction since our inception in 1995 remains unchanged -- we use technology to aid every lesson we provide, tailoring instruction precisely to the student’s needs and goals.
Has the SwingTRU Motion Study changed GOLFTEC’s theories on the golf swing or best ways to teach it?
GolfTEC’s instructional philosophy has not changed in any way as a result of this study. The findings merely factually reinforce the instructional practices we have used for many years. We do believe, however, some in the industry may be surprised by some of the conclusions realized from the findings.
What does the SwingTRU Motion Study mean for me, the golfer?
It can significantly reinforce the understanding of how your body moves, and should move, within your golf swing.This study provides a factual resource and starting point for improvement.
How will evolving technology affect the SwingTRU Motion Study moving forward?
We are excited to see what new technologies can unveil in the future, because we are just scratching the surface of how the best golfers play the game. Moving forward, we will also include data on ball flight and other motion measurements that provide direct correlations to skill level and a golfer's improvement.
