But what is biomechanics?

Biomechanics or Motion Capture Technology (MOCAP) is mechanical analysis of body motion. Studying and understanding physics of a golf swing by analyzing biomechanics of golf swing can be very revealing. This is usually achieved with help of high speed video technology.

The twisting golf swing produces torque on golf club. The greatest determinant on how far you will hit ball lies in speed at which club will be moving at, as it connects with ball at bottom of your swing. The faster your club will be going at bottom of your swing, greater amount of kinetic energy that will be transferred from club head to ball and further ball will go.

It is important to understand that these exercises are very different from many of rigorous exercises that you will often see athletes using to condition their bodies and stay in shape.

For example golf training exercises using weights are not designed to built bulky muscles. Usually much lighter weights will be used and will be lifted more times as opposed to normal muscle-building training which will involve much heavier weights being lifted fewer times. The muscle-building exercises will also call for longer hours of exercises daily. Golf training exercises will usually take very little time.
