Here is a Zenolink analysis of someone named Brent Davis.
Zenolink is the company where "deceleration guru" Chris Welch is from. I'd heard about this kind of analysis but guess I never really realized what it actually entailed. I won't be signing up for one anytime soon.
Just as I was told, Zenolink preaches "hip deceleration". Sure enough, one of the first "objectives" identified for Brent will be to "create a better acceleration/deceleration dynamic to transfer more of that speed through the core". Commentary starts around 1:10.
We know from Tapio that about 95% of the golfers he has analyzed don't maintain hip acceleration until impact: the hips speed peaks a little before impact than drops off (hips in blue, shoulders red, hands green, club yellow):
But this winner on the European tour doesn't start to decel the hips until after impact:
Early deceleration causes early release of the arms and club and increases the likelihood of a flip: that's what happens with the hip stallers:
Wouldn't you prefer to to avoid that? Should we be teaching to the "averages" or to the "optimal"? You be the judge!
