Comments on: How Much Torque (NM) Does a Golf Swing Put on the Average Person/Tiger’s Knee? What Can I Compare this To? http://golfguideonline.net/114/torque-nm-golf-swing-put-average-persontigers-knee-compare/ Golfing Tips Sat, 10 Oct 2009 20:52:31 +0000 hourly 1 By: Joe M http://golfguideonline.net/114/torque-nm-golf-swing-put-average-persontigers-knee-compare/#comment-394 Joe M Thu, 03 Sep 2009 18:57:36 +0000 http://golfguideonline.net/114/how-much-torque-n-m-does-a-golf-swing-put-on-the-average-persontigers-knee-what-can-i-compare-this-to/#comment-394 <a href="">Lolita</a> Here it is in simple terms. Torque = Force X lever. The lever is the distance from the center of curvature of the swing. Force= mass X acceleration Mass is the wt of the club, his arms and the ball itself when he hits it. Acceleration if from the equation accel=w^2(r) Here is how you find the r. Find the point where half of the mass of the swing is further out, and half is closer to the center. That is the r part of the acceleration. Now let me get in to the w. Just at there are 360 degrees in a complete circle. There is 2*pi radians in a complete circle. Approx 6.28 radians in a complete circle. w=radians/second Try to find out how much time it takes to complete the swing and how much of a complete circle it takes. Take the percentage of a complete circle, multiply it y 2 * pi and then divide it by the amount of time it takes to complete that swing. That would be w. Take the w to the second poser, this is w^2.

Torque = Force X lever.
The lever is the distance from the center of curvature of the swing.
Force= mass X acceleration

Mass is the wt of the club, his arms and the ball itself when he hits it.
Acceleration if from the equation
accel=w^2(r)
Here is how you find the r. Find the point where half of the mass of the swing is further out, and half is closer to the center. That is the r part of the acceleration.
Now let me get in to the w. Just at there are 360 degrees in a complete circle. There is 2*pi radians in a complete circle. Approx 6.28 radians in a complete circle.
w=radians/second
Try to find out how much time it takes to complete the swing and how much of a complete circle it takes. Take the percentage of a complete circle, multiply it y 2 * pi and then divide it by the amount of time it takes to complete that swing. That would be w. Take the w to the second poser, this is w^2.
