The golf stroke mechanics are the means by which golfers make decisions (pick clubs, choose shots) and execute them (make shots) in golf. For all golfers, it consists of pre-strokes, in which golfers choose which club they want and their position, and the actual stroke. Stroke is a complex movement and there is still disagreement about what is a "nice" golf swing. In the Work and Analysis of Golf Swing Power, Nesbit and Serrano suggest golf swings have been studied by scientists and mathematicians who have developed various equations to help explain the complexity of the swing. It is generally agreed that a successful and consistent golf swing requires precise timing and mechanics, from the grip and position of one's fingers, to the position and movement of the foot. At every moment of the swing, whether back swing, downswing, or rising, something can go wrong that will throw away the whole body and produce an error. All swinging movements must move in the field in a liquid way. The aircraft can be characterized as horizontal or vertical.

Complex movement
The purpose of the golf swing is to direct as much kinetic energy into the club's head so that when in contact with the ball all the energy will move to the ball, sending it to the flight. The first complex body movements begin with attitude. It's very important to make sure the golfer has a low center of gravity to stay balanced along the swing path. The swing starts with the arm moving back in a straight line. When the club's head reaches the hip level, two things happen: there is a hard wrist that acts as a hinge along with the left knee (for right-handed swing), builds torque by moving to the same line as the navel before the start of the awakening. As the swing progresses to the top of the backswing (again for the right-handed golf swing), the golfer's left arm should be perfectly straight and the right arm should rely on the elbow. Downswing begins with the hips and lower body rather than the upper arm and upper body, with an emphasis on the chicken wrist. When the golfer's hip turns into a shot, the right elbow will fall straight down, hugging the right side of the golfer's body. When the right elbow falls, the wrist starts to move from the wrist to the back. Strong extension of the arm and good body transfer should put the golfer leaning on his right foot, balanced, with golf clubs resting behind the golfer's neck. Importantly, all movements occur with the right time, while the head remains entirely still with eyes focused on the ball throughout the swing.
Otculature
Golf strokes use the muscles in the core (especially the erector spinae muscles and muscles of latissimus dorsi when twisting), hamstring, shoulders and wrists. Stronger muscles in the wrist may prevent the wrist from twisting on the swing, while a strong shoulder increases back force. Weak wrists can also affect the elbow and even the neck and cause injury to them. (When the muscle contracts, it pulls together from both ends and, in order to have movement only at one end of the muscle, the other muscles must play to stabilize the bone where the other end of the muscle is attached.) Golf is a one-sided exercise that can damage the balance of the body , requires exercise to maintain balance in the muscles. The suggested exercises are free weights, exercises that do not depend on the machine to stimulate and balance the smooth muscles.
Pre-swing
Posture
- A good golf swing starts with the right posture. Having the correct posture means standing straight with a relatively straight back and slightly bent knees. When the golfer takes a position, the position width should be around the shoulders and the arms should hang freely.
- A little heavier is placed on the front foot for a short iron, with the balance shifting to both feet through the middle iron until the weight is distributed evenly to the long iron and wood.
Alignment
- The body address is positioned parallel to the target line, although the position may be adjusted for different shots; in general the body and position must be parallel to the target line.
- The ball is positioned near the center of the player's position for the short iron, moving forward from the middle through the long and middle iron to the opposite of the heel of the forefoot to the forest.
Handle
- There are several options to grip the club. Generally one of the following three will be used:
- Vardon overlaps (or overlaps) the grip: Named for Harry Vardon, the one who popularized it, the little finger of the trailing hand (the non-dominant hand) is placed between the index finger and the middle finger of the hand leader (dominant hand). The front-hand thumb fits along the lifeline of the left hand.
- Lock handle: The little finger of the trailing hand is intertwined with the index finger of the main hand. The front-hand thumb fits in the lifeline of the left hand.
- Fist with ten fingers (or baseball): The little finger of the trailing hand is placed close to the index finger of the main hand. The hand-lead thumb is covered with a lifeline from the trailing hand.
Time
Time is the most important element of a golf swing because it connects all the different moving parts of the body into one movement. "In the backswing alias of the first part of the swing, the sequence of movements goes like this: hands, arms, shoulders, hips" ( Ben Hogan: Five Lessons: Modern Fundamentals ). Downswing (the second part of the swing) is started by the unwinding of the hips. Then the shoulders and arms follow.
Power
The golf swing is capable of generating great strength, although it takes practice to be able to use it effectively in a productive way. Most amateur golfers try to get as much power as possible, and try to hit the ball as far as possible but this is not the right approach for an amateur. The power of the golf swing is not opened by the muscles or by the speed of the club's fastest head, but by the precise timing and movement mechanism that must be united in harmony. However, more strength in the golf swing can be attributed to the development of the lower limbs: anterior tibialis, peroneus longus, gastrocnemius medialis, gastrocnemius lateralis, biceps femoris, semitendinosus, maximus gluteus, vastus medialis, rectus femoris and vastus lateralis. With more power, there arises the need for more control over the body that the golfer must have to control the movement of the swing. "Inertial forces and variations seem more likely than size to account for long and short punches".

Type of stroke
Chip
Chip is a type of shot that is generally used from close range around green usually below 40 meters. Although any club can be used, and there are available chipping (or chipper) specialist clubs, iron or short slices are the most common.
The chip's goal is to land the ball safely on the green and let it roll toward the hole.
Pitch
A "pitch shot" is a shot that is played with a high lofted club, usually pitching slices, wedge utility or sand wedge, with loft ranging from 56Ã, à ° to 62Ã, à ° degrees. These high clubs are designed to hit high balls from short distances, usually from 40-50 meters (30-50 meters) and closer.
Putt
Putt is used to put the ball in the hole or closer to the hole (as in lagging) from the green or green edges. Putter is used for putt. The golfer adjusts his putt to match the state of the game such as the distance to the hole and the green slope.
