In order to examine this movement, a procedure for quantifying joint movement was developed. Electrogoniometers (Biometrics, UK) with frequency of 1000 Hz were attached to the subjects during the execution of the swing to obtain the joint angles throughout the motion. The velocities of the segment rotation can be computed with dual velocity analysis. A zero handicapper was tested with the method. The method uncovers the importance of longitudinal segmental rotations in his swing. These rotations are often neglected in 2-dimensional approaches.enConference paper0020095327
