Decomposition of the Clubhead Velocity:Assessment of the Contributions of the Joint/Segment Motions in Golf Drives
Meaningfulness of the trunk rotation and the X-factor?

X-Factor Studies
Issues:• ANOVA/correlation/regression with heterogenous
samples• No direct relationship between CH velocity and X-
factor• Influence of the planar swing model / stretch-
shorting cycle• Projected to the horizontal plane
Trends:• Comparison among different skill levels (Cheetham et al.
2000; Zheng et al., 2007; Cole & Grimshaw, 2009)• Comparison among different ball velocity groups (Myers
et al., 2007)• Comparison among different effort levels (Meister et al.,
2011)• Correlation/regression (Myers et al., 2007; Chu et al.,
2010)• Training effects (Lephart et al., 2007)
• Methodology (Joyce et al., 2010)

Purposes
To assess the contributions of the joint/segment motions to the clubhead velocity:• Homogenous sample• Normalized CH velocity• Direct relationship between the CH velocity and
the trunk motion
To assess the relationship between the X-factor parameters and the CH velocity:• Projected to the functional swing plane• Homogenous sample• Normalized CH velocity

Golf Performance Factors
Goal:• Accuracy & consistency in
distance & direction• Maximization of the distance
Impact Conditions:• Motion of the clubhead (velocity)• Orientation of the clubface at impact• Location of impact on the clubface• Distance: function of the CH velocity
