Purpose: Prevent “slicing” or “hooking” the ball
Hypothesis:
There is a correlation between percent muscle activity in the flexor and extensor muscle bundles in right and left arms, and the club face angle at impact
Correlations and P-Value
- Both muscles show a high positive correlation to club head angle at impact
- Right flexor correlation happened by chance
•(p-value > 0.05)
- Left extensor correlation did NOT happen by chance
•(p-value < 0.05)
• Has definite correlation with the club face angle at impact
Factors that may have affected results
- MVC methodology
- Golfer fatigue Further Research
- Swing phase before impact
