Analysis of the X-Factor and X-Factor stretch during the completion of a golf practice session in low-handicap golfers

Abstract: 1The X-Factor and X-Factor stretch have been positively correlated with golf long game 2 performance. The aim of this study was to compare the X-Factor, X-Factor stretch and long 3 game performance variables pre and following a golf practice session. A group of male golfers 4 (n = 15, handicap = 3.3 ± 1.7) participated in the laboratory-based-study. Movement and 5 performance variables were collected from five golf swings performed pre and following a golf 6 practice session using a motion capture system and l… Show more

“…Five participants were randomized into an experiment group (mean ± SD age: 19.60 ± 2.30 years; stature: 179.66 ± 5.80 cm; body mass: 87.04 ± 17.86 kg and handicap: 5.00 ± 3.00) and five participants into a control group (mean ± SD age: 25.20 ± 5.02 years; stature: 184.02 ± 4.80 cm; body mass: 83.89 ± 14.99 kg and handicap: 5.20 ± 4.71). Additional anthropometric measurements (shoulder offset, elbow width, wrist width, hand thickness, leg length, knee width, ankle width) were recorded during the initial stages of the testing process in order to run a customized Golf Model (Sorbie et al, 2018). Low handicap golfers were selected to participate in the study as it provided a representative sample of the population, whilst excluding the probability of technique having a major influence on results (Joyce, Burnett, Cochrane, & Reyes, 2016).…”

“…To ensure the system had been correctly calibrated, the camera residual was < 0.2 mm. Spherical retro-reflective markers (1.4 cm) were adhered to the skin on anatomical regions according to the adapted version of the Vicon Plug-in-Gait Model (Vicon Motion Systems Ltd, Oxford, UK) (Sorbie et al, 2018) using double-sided tape. To ensure accurate 3-D data collection, participants were asked to wear tight fitting shorts and their own golf shoes when performing all golf shots.…”
