The Podcaet deal with the SportsBox 3D Golf App and its features, particularly with the analysis of golf swings and the identification of potential injury risks. They highlight how the app uses 3D data to compare and analyze swings, and how this data can be used to improve performance and prevent injuries. The focus is on the importance of rotational and lateral bending movements during the swing and how these movements affect the ball's trajectory and injury risk.
Here are the factors that influence the difference between players who hit draws versus those who hit fades:
● Body rotation: Players who hit draws tend to show more lateral bending than rotation, while players who hit fades tend to rotate more during the downswing rather than bending laterally. For example, Brooks Koepka, a player who hits fades, shows greater rotation than lateral bending, while Rory McIlroy, a player who prefers draws, shows more lateral bending than rotation.
● The difference between rotation and lateral bending: The discrepancy between a player's rotation and lateral bending can also affect the ball's curve. For instance, Brooks Koepka has a difference of about six degrees, and if this discrepancy increases, the ball’s curve can become more pronounced, potentially leading to noticeable hooks or slices.
● Overall body movement: The way a player’s body moves during the swing can also influence whether they hit a draw or a fade. For example, a player who does not rotate sufficiently during their backswing may struggle to hit a fade, as their arms do not get far enough behind them, leading to an outward hand path in the downswing.
The sources do not go into detail about the specific factors that influence the difference between players who hit draws versus those who hit fades. They mainly focus on how to use the SportsBox 3D Golf App. The information above refers to a section of the sources that briefly explains the differences between players who hit draws and those who hit fades.
