How else can we use this information?

What has been shown in this information is ways to improve and construct an efficient golf swing when practicing a golf drive. However, we can also transfer some of what has been learnt into other facets of other sports. The idea of the kinetic chain can be extremely beneficial in almost any sport. The idea and process that momentum, or force, originates in the large parts of the human body and continues to build up all the way through to smaller extremities and is finally passed on to the object being thrown or struck is of great importance in any sport. Understanding this information we can process and examine how we can achieve the greatest distance in whatever we want to do. By understanding the kinetic chain and understanding the movement pattern of a throw like movement it can be seen what areas need to be improved to achieve the desired result. For instance, maybe the individual’s initial hip rotation is not precise enough, or their shoulder rotation or elbow acceleration is not as swift as it could be. Analysing this information, a technique can be fixed and altered to achieve the desired result.

Through this information we also learn the vital importance certain equipment can play on sport. It is now understood as to why the golf driver is so much longer than that of a regular club, therefore, utilising this important information we are able to better understand our equipment. Whether it is golf, tennis, bowling or hockey extensive amounts of research has gone into the use of the equipment. If people are able to understand the importance of their equipment they have a greater chance of using it to its full potential. Whether that be based on the speed or weight or even the correct use at the correct time, if the wrong piece of equipment is being used it can have a detrimental effect on an individual’s performance. With this lack of performance a person may feel obligated to make alterations to their own performance not understanding they were simply using the improper equipment. It is through this that we see the importance of understanding the equipment we use in sport.
