The Hub Path
-

-
The third Webinar of 2026 will cover one of Dr. Steven Nesbit's greatest contributions to golf biomechanics has been his research on hub path—the movement of the hands throughout the golf swing.
His work has shown that the path of the hands is far more than just something that follows the body. It plays a major role in how the club moves, how speed is created, and how the club is delivered into impact. Every golfer has a unique hub path, and understanding it provides valuable insight into both performance and consistency.
In this webinar, Dr. Nesbit's research will serve as the foundation as we explore:
How the path of the hands influences the motion of the club.
The difference between 2D and 3D hub path analysis.
The biomechanics of the grip and how the hands connect the golfer to the club.
The center of curvature and how it affects club movement.
How hub path works together with our Alpha, Beta, and Gamma force and torque model.
Dr. Nesbit's Hub Path Optimization research and how we apply these principles every day at Jacobs 3D to evaluate and improve a golfer's swing.
The Hub path is one of the cornerstones of the Jacobs 3D system. Whether you're a coach, player, or golf professional, this webinar will give you a deeper understanding of how the hands drive the motion of the club and why every golfer develops a unique movement pattern.
