Summer might seem to be the time college students take a break, but Peicheng Chen kept working hard on his game—and the effort paid off this week. He shot 5-under 206 over 54 holes at the Bethpage golf complex to win the prestigious Doc Gimmler event. Chen was....

A frequently asked question is, "What are the most valuable insights from golf biomechanics that can enhance my game without requiring extensive study?"

This question resonates with me, which is why this webinar will focus on the five greatest hits of our biomechanical research. Each hit will be covered, followed by a Q&A session.

Michael Jacobs’ student Xu Zihan broke the women's course record at Rock Hill this past weekend with a 64...

Ground Forces are an incredibly popular—and misunderstood—topic. They've become the talk of the tour golf telecasts and many teachers use the term as a kind of shorthand for….

Trophy season is in full swing, and Peicheng Chen backed up his strong college season with a great victory at one of the Metropolitan Golf Association’s majors—shooting a final-round 65 to win the Ike Stroke Play Championship at Nassau Country Club. The highlight of the week was making four straight birdies….

Bryson DeChambeau wasn’t the only one to have a memorable time in Pinehurst the week of the U.S. Open. Padraig Harrington was officially inducted into World Golf Hall of Fame……

You can’t alter the rules of physics. But you can use the rules surrounding those external forces to effectively multiply the effort you put into your swing. In the next of our series of swing subject Dives, The User’s Guide to Ground Forces will give you…..

New Rock Hill teaching professional Kyle Brey comes to Long Island with an extensive track record of playing success. A top junior player, Kyle went on to become the No. 1 player at Barry University and competed on various minitours and in state and sectional professional events before transitioning into coaching. He's a valuable resource for any player interested in bringing golf improvement from the range to the course…….

With the sun and warmer temperatures, Rock Hill is rounding into great form—and lesson members have been very busy taking advantage of the indoor and outdoor lessons. We have a lot of members who….

For the last few months, it has really felt like Peicheng Chen was going to break out and win a big college tournament. Today, it happened. He put in an impressive performance at the Big East Men's Golf Championship, shooting……

The biomechanical analysis of a swing is a massive undertaking—even when you have cutting-edge software to crunch the numbers like we do at Jacobs 3D. With a subject that complex, it can often be very helpful to break it down one piece at a time and work your way through it systematically…..

Sometimes a score—or even a trophy—doesn't tell the whole story. It's always a thrill to see a student win a tournament, whether it's a flight trophy at a club championship, a college event, or a Tour event. Seeing Padraig Harrington holding the trophy Sunday….

Beta Force is defined as the force a golf puts across the shaft, whether it be forward or backward. The first two images below, from the Science of the Golf Swing, define Beta Force. When a golfer beta forces the club, it is very likely that the club will move….

I play in pro-am tournaments almost every week, and I meet lots of regular golfers about my age—I'm 52—who love the game and have the goal of…..

There's always been lots of talk about timing in the golf swing, but hard data on what that means—and what is actually happening—has been missing from golf instruction. That's not true anymore. For the past 10 years at Jacobs 3D, we can pinpoint various kinematic maximums—the instant in the swing when…..

Jon loves to problem-solve, and his natural curiosity about how things work led him to Jacobs 3D. After teaching himself to play by reading Golf Digest articles in high school, Jon went on to play club golf at Penn State—but it was years later before he came back to the game as a career. Now the Director of Instruction….

We’ve come a long way in the two centuries cameras have been available. These images above are from one of the pioneers of motion capture Étienne-Jules Marey. He designed and built a camera that recorded multiple images on a single plate, from defined point of view……

A global analysis lets us break down where and how much of the energy of motion comes—from external forces (such as ground forces and gravity) and from internal forces (energy motion created from the joints of the body)……
