The Golf swing classification according to the leading body part mostly performing the swing

Classification of golf swings by the leading link of a body which are mainly involved at their performance is given in article. Everything, on the basis of expert estimates, six types of a swing are offered: hand, arm swing, shoulder swing, trank swing, axial and basic swing. Features of their commission are discussed. Kinematic values are measured and statistical distinctions of kinematic parameters of the ball movement: initial speed, a corner of a departure and the back spin are established. Conclusions are drawn on possibility of use of the developed classification in training and competitive activity of golfers.
