Full breakdown of Aldrich's move here, including GRF and 3D data. An incredibly impressive golf athlete. youtu.be/MkiLYhgyVCw?si…

We don’t always associate mobility with speed in sports performance, but early first round leader Aldrich Potgieter is a good example of how the two can be connected in the golf swing. The bigger the turn a player can make, the longer their “acceleration ramp,” giving them more time to apply force to the club before impact. One of the key physical capabilities we measure in rotational athletes is thoracic spine mobility, which we assess through our Seated Trunk Rotation Test. When he came to TPI, Aldrich tested as well as anyone on the PGA TOUR, demonstrating 65° of rotation to the right and 70° to the left. Our movement screen isn’t predictive of golf skill, but it does help us evaluate the key movement capabilities that underpin the golf swing. While it’s certainly not the only physical quality responsible for his prodigious speed, Aldrich’s exceptional range of motion allows him to make more than a 100° shoulder turn in his backswing, extending that ramp and giving him more time to accelerate the club.

@Hititlonger Would have to check 3D on the left hip, but his vertical force was ~2.5x BW. When you consider his mass, it's probably top 3% total force we've measured from a tour player. Obviously, hip rising is a response to aggressive pushing against the ground.

3° of internal hip rotation in a tour player? Don’t assume a golfer has elite mobility just because they’re an elite ball striker. In this case, this player lacked internal rotation on his trail hip, so he avoided loading it entirely. The result was overuse and irritation on his lead side. Assess, don’t guess.

In our opinion, the most important step by far is to physically assess the golfer to see if there are any limitations which could predispose them to injury. For example, golfers with poor hip or thoracic spine mobility are often more vulnerable to lower back injuries because it's doing too much work.

@MyTPI Thank you @MyTPI for your reply 🙏🏻 do you have any recommendations for amateur golfers to stay healthy ? many of them are quitting golf because of injuries due to golf ⛳️ . They have not been lot solution for back pain . We would love hear your thoughts please 🙏🏻

@TOURMISS We believe the best solution is to build the swing around what the body can do. By identifying limitations we not highlight where we should be working in the gym, but what might NOT be most conducive for our swing.

@MyTPI How about healthy swing ? do you have solutions for golfers ? First of all golfer need to learn self awareness and understanding every single thing about golf swing golf equipments and physical activity.

@golfteefmerica That this is too much? Yeah, I think people don't totally understand how data is used in lessons. Obviously, data can be complex, but everything Dr. Rose told Will was pretty "third grade"...

One of our go-to exercises for improving hip mobility 👇 Mobility work that only stretches muscle often misses the real restriction, especially when it’s related to the joint itself. Distraction is a technique we introduce in our advanced Fitness and Medical courses that targets capsular restrictions by cueing “micro movements” that create space in the hip. Eventually, the goal is to lift both hands off the ground and stretch them out in front of you. Looks MUCH easier than it actually is.

Being data-driven coaches doesn’t mean we let a computer run the lesson. It means we rely on data to set the direction, but the art of coaching still delivers the result. 🏌️ Will Chandler

Perhaps, but you also misstated research and then responded with this video so it’s possible you could do a better job explaining. If you’d like to learn more about 3D/GRF insights from the best golfers in the world, check out our advanced Golf or Power courses. Some good stuff there

@Hititlonger Not a rotational athlete. If this is how you have drawn your conclusions, it may be a little reductive

@MyTPI I cannot find this study for the life of me but it stated the breakdown was about 40% grf vertical, 30-35 horizontal and 15-20% rotational on force plate. The 8” is the heel width to athletes use to create max vertical.

@Hititlonger Just a content guy but I believe Bourgain suggested that it was that % of total torque (he calls this motor moment) not total GRF. Also, still not understanding what you are referring to re: “calcaneus under GT which is 8””… Is that Bourgain’s work also?

@MyTPI Bourgain found lead side vertical was 37% of total grf with 26% trail side horizontal (lateral). Max vertical grf (vertical leap) occurs when center of calcaneus is aligned under greater trochanter which is ~8 inches. Max lateral grf is about 18” medial calcaneus.

Total torque is the kinetic variable in our database most closely associated with clubhead speed. Vertical force also. His heel/toe move closer together after impact as a response to how he has pushed against the ground. I'm not sure what you're referring to re: 8" heel to heel vs 40% (I'm just the content guy). We'd never suggest that there's just one way to swing the club, but seems that explosive rotational athletes don't often have what I'd consider a narrow stance. Happy to share any data you have that suggests otherwise with Greg, Dave and our biomechanics team though! What force plates are you using?

@MyTPI But torquing force is only like 15-20% of the total grf. Why would you give it 80% of the influence? Can you see how far his heel/toe are apart at the finish? Max vertical force occurs at like 8” heel to heel and it’s more like 40%. Help me understand.

@Hititlonger That has not been our experience and doesn't seem to add up from a physics standpoint: Torque = Force x Moment Arm. A narrow stance would promote a lower MA. Many different ways to get it done, but I don't think a blanket "narrower" prescription makes sense

@MyTPI I’ll betcha if his feet started the same distance apart as they finished, he would generate more lateral force. And more vertical too.
