Do Kinematic Study Assessments Improve Accuracy & Precision in Golf Putting? A Comparison between Elite and Amateur Golfers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether kinematic assessments help improve golf putting accuracy and precision, increase the success rate putts. Specifically, also investigated differences in club head velocity putter face angle at impact (°) between elite amateur golfers. Methods: A total 25 articles were used review. An initial, broad search electronic databases including PubMed, SPORT discus, Scopus, Science Direct Google Scholar conducted for literature using keywords “biomechanics” AND “golf putting”. number studies screened review n = 897. Among these articles, only 63 assessed eligibility. reduced further included qualitative quantitative synthesis. Results: Out initial 897, 834 records excluded. After eligibility, 17 excluded not meeting inclusion criteria. demonstrated that approaches can precision putts which reduce overall scoring. Elite golfers have a more accurate direction when compared Conclusion: This systematic meta-analysis suggests impact, path, vertical spot backswing are critical determinants golfer’s useful indicators noted had slightly less but precise angles increased their completing successful than
