QUESTIONS: 1. Does PXF correlate with CHS? 2. What exactly does PST mean? Does it refer to the maximum differential in weight distribution between the rear and front foot at a given moment? (I dont think this was well defined in the video... only Ground Reaction Force was briefly alluded to.)

[Daniel Stern]

RESULTS: 1. Peak Stance Torque ("PST") correlates significantly with Club Head Speed at Impact ("CHS") BETWEEN all 10 subjects. 2. TIMING of PST DOES correlate significantly with TIMING of CHS. 3. Peak X-Factor ("PXF") DOES NOT correlate significantly to PST BETWEEN subjects. 4. PXF DOES correlate significantly to PST WITHIN subjects for 6 of the 10 subjects. 5. TIMING of PXF DOES correlate significantly to TIMING of PST. CONCLUSION(?): Magn. of weight shift is most important to club head speed.

weight should be placed wherever player best pivots. 90% on lead leg if that is their best pivot point. weight on trail leg is good for players who's best pivot is back onto that leg.

Great work but what conclusions did you make and what was the objective of the project.That Highschool was 100% wrong the weight should be 90% on the front leg,thats why his swing was a joke.Follow this up with some ideas not just data.

this is the biggest bunch a bull shit i ever saw, tells you nothing of any interest like what musles are most used at certain points of the swing and i agree that coach looked and sounded a complete dumbass

[DonalNolan69]

Nice work guys. I'm doing a similar project and it looks like you did some really solid work.
