Composite materials are increasingly being used in sports and exercise equipment due to
their favorable strength-to-weight ratios, tailored stiffness, fatigue resistance, and vibration …

A narrative review of dynamic models of golf phenomena is presented, as well as current
technologies for measuring the motions of a golfer, club, and ball. Kinematic and dynamic …

A novel finding about effects of moisture and cyclic hygrothermal conditions on the impact
resistance of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy polymer (CFRP) composites are presented. The …

The aim of this study was to quantify and explain the effect of shaft stiffness on the dynamics
of golf drives. Twenty golfers performed swings with two clubs designed to differ only in shaft …

In the present study, surface properties of three types of carbon fibers (CCF300, CCM40J,
and CCF800H) on the interface properties of carbon fiber/epoxy resin (CF/EP) were …

The intricate physical interaction between the golfer and golf club has driven the
development of numerous dynamic golf swing models over the past few decades. Within …

It is unknown whether skilled golfers will modify their kinematics when using drivers of
different shaft properties. This study aimed to firstly determine if golf swing kinematics and …

The aim of the study was to develop an objective classification method for cross-country ski
poles. A test device was designed to expose different pole models to maximal loading and …

Abstract Changes to the Rules of Golf for 2019 allow a golfer to make a stroke from the
putting green with the flagstick unattended in the hole. Such an action would previously …

No method currently exists to determine the location of the kick point during the golf swing.
This study consisted of two phases. In the first phase, the static kick point of 10 drivers …
