This study aimed to identify the influencing factors and swing paths of players who exhibited failed swing techniques by comparing the characteristics of successful and failed driver swings, and to propose methods for improving success rates. Using a three-dimensional motion capture system and force table, biomechanical analyses were conducted on 10 professional golfers. Results showed that during the setup phase, differences in ball position, stance width, shoulder line angle, center of gravity displacement, and ground reaction forces influenced the ball\u2019s release angle and direction. In the backswing, variations in shoulder line angle, lateral club angle, and left elbow angle affected release direction. During the transition phase, center of gravity shifts and right foot ground reaction forces influenced release speed and offset. In the downswing, wrist-forearm angle and vertical center of gravity changes also impacted ball trajectory. A total of 50 professional golfers participated in the study, with swing kinematics and kinetics recorded using a three-dimensional motion capture system, force platform, and radar-based ball tracking equipment. Key factors affecting success included stance width, ball position, shoulder rotation, overswing, transition timing, and center of gravity control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
