Golf is one of the most popular of recreational sports with some 55 million participants throughout the world (Farrally et al, 2003). However, the golf swing is one of the most difficult and complex of sport motions (Dillman & Lange, 1994). Much research has been applied to the biomechanical analysis of the golf swing in an effort to understand the complex mechanics of the motion in order to provide a basis for improving performance (Hume et al, 2005) and aiding club design (Thomas, 1994).

One aspect of the golf swing that has received little biomechanical consideration is the path of the hands. This path herein referred to as the hub path, ...
