Its would be impossible to argue that the forces generated by a golfer's muscles during the golf swing gestalt act in a direction which is through the "instantanous" center or axis of rotation. Therefore usage of the term COAM when discussing golf is wrong. COAM does not apply to the golfswing contrary to what some authors and their experts would have us believe. no_mind nmgolfer what about using certain forces to shift the center of mass forward to create an "instantaneous" axis of rotation for the pelvic region? pistol View Public Profile Send a private message to pistol Find all posts by pistol
