Webinar: Lag, Load and Release Kinetics

The second webinar of 2025 is scheduled for June 26th and will run for 90 minutes. This session will explore how golfers lag, load, and release the club using force and torque.

The Alpha and Beta components serve as the primary inputs for generating lag and shaft lean. A deeper understanding of these elements can lead to a more efficient and powerful swing.
