Even Homer says Golf is 90% physics.
Do you seriously believe Geometry drives the swing?
Why is it that the world's scoring average has gone out 1 shot, should this improve.
We are all barking up the your tree.
What creates geometry, how do we create these angles etc?
Easy physics and movement patterns. How can you apply geometry when people can't even move their body effective or create the right movement patterns.
Golf's scoring average would go down if people learnt physics as well as geometry
I never said Geometry "Drives" the swing. I simply asked a question which you still haven't responded to. Where does the 90% figure come from?
Drewitgolf,
Not sure you can have access to the Research, Science there's tons of information on golf biomecahnics on regarding physics.
Human motion (biomechanics) is based on physics.
Homer speaks about this topic on his tapes he recorded, there's 120 hours worth and i'm not sure you can get uour hand on this either very few people have copies.

I have spent many hundreds of hours listening to Mr. Kelley's work and I don't ever recall hearing him say that.
These are all just words and words have meaning and some of you haven't the faintest clue what those long established widely accepted meanings are.
Physics specifically a BRANCH of physics called MECHANICS pertains to the study of forces and motion. Isssac Newton is the father of that branch of physics. He invented calculus to describe it and he wrote the Principia.... CREDIT WHERE DUE.
MECHANICS is subdivided in to STATICS AND DYNAMICS. Dynamics is the study of MOTION including the FORCES which cause that motion. KINEMATICS is the study of MOTION withOUT regards to forces.... some might say KINEMATICS is what TGM calls GEOMETRY (but GEOMETRY IS A BRANCH OF MATHEMATICS which dates back at least 5000 years to Summeria... Homer is not the father of Geometry)
The latest buzz word making its way around the misguided golf world is "Kinetic Chain"... Some people foolishly speak about "Snapping their Kinetic Chain". They are clueless. There is an entire discipline devoted to the study of what these know-it-alls call the kinetic chain called: MECHANISMS. The study of MECHANISMS (in this case the human mechanism) involves how to create a desired motion including the DYNAMICS and KINEMATICS (forces and Geometry)
GOLF IS NOT about Conservation of Momentum (angular or linear). The physicist that advised Dante and started misunderstanding GOT IT WRONG. Chochran and Stobbs GOT IT WRONG. The golfer is NOT a body subject to a CENTRAL FORCE.
The GOAL of a golfer is to get the club head properly oriented and moving on the optimal path with the highest possible velocity. When the mass of the club head meets the mass of the ball MOMENTUM is transfered from the club head to the ball. Everything else is bullcaca.

Is "Bullcaca" a Physics Term?
It's about time someone said that (but don't use "highest possible velocity" short putts). That's exactly what I was going to say. Except the last paragraph needs a few words about the Clubface motion through the Impact Zone otherwise I'll be talking to the Drink Cart Girl while you're looking for your ball.
scotty, get me an email, Stevie is still interested in taking the cube for GAA.
Everyone else, I think that biomechanics are one more piece to the jig saw. Scotty knows his stuff, play nice or he'll disappear. He has plenty of good stuff to share.

GPStyles,
I am having trouble deciding if Scotty's posts are an additional piece of the puzzle, or being disrespectful to what we are here to learn. Your post is allowing me to give him the benefit of the doubt a little longer...
