A new golf-swing robot model emulating golfer's skill

چکیده
Conventional golf-swing robots are generally used to evaluate the performance of golf clubs and balls. Most of the robots have two or three joints with completely interrelated motion. This interrelation only allows the user of the robot to specify the initial posture and swing velocity, and therefore the subtle adjustments in swing motion that advanced golfers make according to the characteristics of individual golf clubs are not possible. Consequently, golf-swing robots cannot accurately emulate the performance of advanced golfers, which is a problem for the evaluation of golf club performance. In this study, a new golf-swing robot that can adjust its motion to both a speci®ed value of swing velocity and the speci®c characteristics of individual golf clubs was analytically investigated. This robot utilizes the dynamic interference force produced by swing motion and shaft vibration like advanced golfers. Thus, this new robot can emulate the performance of advanced golfers and can therefore be used for accurate evaluation of golf clubs.

Club position relative to the golfer's swing plane meaningfully affects swing dynamics.
Previous research indicates that the motion of the golf club is not planar and that the plane traced out by the club is different than that of the golfer's hands. The aim of the present study was to investigate how the position of the club, relative to the golfer's swing plane, influences the motion of the club by using a four-segment (torso, upper arm, forearm, and club), three-dimensional for...
متن کاملA three dimensional kinematic and kinetic study of the golf swing.
This paper discusses the three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics of a golf swing as performed by 84 male and one female amateur subjects of various skill levels. The analysis was performed using a variable full-body computer model of a human coupled with a flexible model of a golf club. Data to drive the model was obtained from subject swings recorded using a multi-camera motion analysis syst...
متن کاملA sensor-based golfer-swing signature recognition method using linear support vector machine
Golf performance varies from person to person because of the differences in physical features of golfer’s body and skill level. Recognizing golf swings of an individual golf player is essential to help improving the golf skill level. This can be done through feedback information provided by a specialized equipment or by a personal coach. Based on the classification of the golfer-swing shapes, t...
متن کاملImproving performance in golf: current research and implications from a clinical perspective
Golf, a global sport enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities, involves relatively long periods of low intensity exercise interspersed with short bursts of high intensity activity. To meet the physical demands of full swing shots and the mental and physical demands of putting and walking the course, it is frequently recommended that golfers undertake golf-specific exercise programs. Biomecha...
متن کاملMuscle strength and golf performance: a critical review.
Golf has become an increasingly popular sport and a growing body of research trying to identify its main physical requirements is being published. The aim of this review was twofold: first, to examine the existing scientific literature regarding strength training and golf in healthy, non-injured, subjects; and second, to reach conclusions that could provide information on how to design more eff...
